It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

For everyone who, like me, has been demanding that members of Congress get out in front of the cameras and do all they can to stand up to the Musk coup, well - watch these powerful Democratic statements in front of USAID HQ. Passed on from @simonwdc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...

I don't know why Wired is doing the best reporting on Musk's bullshit (or why the big papers appear to be doing almost none), but we should reward good work where it happens. Subscribe to Wired!

I made my first trip to the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa today. It was magic. I cried. Many highlights: Bob’s tiny cursive, the Blood on the Tracks notebooks, stunning archive footage, the abundant notes made on hotel stationery. I loved it and am looking forward to going back!

Grateful to Kerrigan for the endorsement. This election is ultimately a choice between change and more of the same. We'll breathe new life into the DNC with a permanent campaign that organizes everywhere and communicates year-round.

Sending gratitude to all the folks who served in the Biden Admin and dedicated years of their lives to making progress on climate action and environmental justice. I see you and appreciate you! Your work matters enormously and will continue to resonate. They may slow us down, but they can't stop us.

This article is critical for Dems to know why we didn't win in '24. Some 19 mil. voters for Biden in 2020 (anti-MAGA voters) did not show up for Harris. Why? They didn't think Trump was dangerous in 2024. (I.E. this isn't a move to Republican policies/values) www.weekendreading.net/p/how-trump-...

I might suggest it is incumbent on every patriotic American to mention the insurrection + attempted coup frequently.
