Meet Joe, my long-time friend Steph's husband who's fighting for his life. Joe was diagnosed with polycythemia vera in 2017, a slow-growing blood cancer that causes the red blood cells to produce too much marrow. He took meds to thin his blood and it worked, for a while.

Ezra, Adam Grant has an article out today on counteracting an obstacle that some *potential* members of Indivisible may feel to getting involved: Learned Helplessness.
Also touches on what works.

When people don't stand up to bad leadership, it's rarely because they don't care. It's often that they feel powerless.
Learned helplessness is the pattern of giving up when we learn that events in our lives are beyond our control.
The answer isn't to accept defeat. It's to find sources of power.

Leah and I released the new Indivisible doc, "A Practical Guide to Democracy on the Brink," after spending the post-election weekend in a cabin feverishly writing, editing, and rewriting. TNR describes it here as "refreshingly blunt." I think it holds up pretty well 5-ish months later.

Do NOT shift your beliefs about what “normal” is. The norms are the same. You’re not crazy. This—all of it—is not normal behavior.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.
