Juneau rally for Ukraine and democracy this afternoon. Some good talks: Jenifer spoke about the need to use these rallies to build for the future by making connections and exchanging ideas; Karla spoke about the importance of action at the local level as well as national.

The DOGE claim to get rid of waste was a pretext to make unpopular policy changes.

Bruce Botelho spoke at our rally today about a new or reborn republic.

The national rally pics remind me of a movie scene I vaguely remember from my childhood: uneasy British officers in Boston early in the Revolution, looking out at a surrounding, growing sea of American campfires.

My sister Joanne sends get-out-the-vote postcards to Dems through "Postcards to Swing States" turnoutpac.org/postcards/.
She writes with friends. Friends, and a glass of wine, make for convivial postcarding.
I hope there aren’t wine stains on the cards, but they sent 700 last election cycle!
