Welcome to all our new subscribers! If it wasn't clear from the subscription page, let me share a little about what we're doing here. For the first few weeks, it felt like no one was doing anything to push back against Trump. The media had declared
If the categories we cover were in competition with one another, the grassroots would be blowing the Democrats and Disloyal Opposition out of the water. The American people and our allies in other democracies have been escalating their protests and have broken through to the mainstream media with the Tesla
Another short one today because I am mostly (and blessedly) offline this week. Today's really bad news is that Trump is trying to cancel collective bargaining agreements that cover federal workers. Federal workers can't strike, so keep an eye on how the AFL-CIO responds. So far,

Welcome to day two of the new format. Thanks for all the nice feedback. Please note that just because a tactic is listed doesn't mean it works or I agree with it. I'm looking at you, Gavin Newsom. For now, I am sticking to sharing non-violent
Yesterday I wrote a Blueprint for Saving Democracy, and today, I am going to try to organize my posts to illustrate the components of my blueprint. This is a work-in-progress, so I appreciate all feedback. "Democrats" are elected officials, government agencies, labor unions, and non-profits. "Grassroots"
For weeks, I’ve wanted to write an essay pulling together all my thoughts and ideas about what “the Democrats” need to do to fight Trump and save democracy in this country. Every time I sit down to write it, though, another prominent Democratic party leader does something terrible. Gavin
