If you think the Felon in Chief is suppressing the Epstein files to protect other people, you don't know Donald J. Trump.
He'd throw his mother under the bus to save his own skin…

One of my biggest fears is that there is a giant blue wave in the 2026 congressional elections & the feckless Democrats misuse the opportunity to simply attack Trump, rather than putting forth a positive vision that prioritizes the needs of working families.

Expect more chaos in US cities.
10,000 new ICE agents in tactical gear, poorly trained, mean-spirited and armed to the teeth…what could possibly go wrong?

Big demonstrations are inspirational, but they alone can't overthrow a dictator.
That takes mass noncooperation & interventions like strikes, boycotts, tax resistance, occupations, parallel government, etc. to pull down the pillars of support that empower a regime.

In the 1970s my middle class family was able to send me to a private university without student loans. My career earned me enough money to buy a house & have a comfortable retirement.
Back then the highest earners were taxed at 70%. Today the top tax bracket is 41%.
There is a connection.

Conservatives had a vision for the US & worked for decades to make it come true: outlawing abortion, privatizing education, slashing the federal government, controlling the courts. Their long game plan is finally coming to fruition.

Why did so many working-class people vote for Trump, despite his authoritarian tendencies?
Because democracy means nothing to those struggling every day to make ends meet, to find affordable childcare, health care and housing.
Dems need to address these issues if they want to preserve democracy.

While protests are the expressions of dissent that the media typically focus on, it is the behind the scenes withdraw of support by individuals and institutions that actually diminishes the power of authoritarians and wannabe dictators.

Every act of radical imagination is a blow against repressive power.
That's why dictators try to crush dreams, kill creativity and insist there is no alternative.
Imagination is power. Dare to dream.

For Mamdani voters, the fight has just begun.
Every billionaire & Republican in the country will do everything in their power to make sure he fails.
Democratic Socialism is a threat that cannot be seen as viable.

Some people see voting as a moral choice.
This is a mistake.
Many people think of voting as a strategy—vote & done.
Also a mistake.
Voting is simply one tactic in the larger struggle. Engaging with & coercing elected officials after the vote is where real power lies.

Anti-Trump protests are great, but nobody ever won a game just playing defense.
We need to articulate a VISION of what should replace the Trump shitshow. Don't expect the feckless Democrats to do it for us.

Crises can disrupt dominant narratives and force people to reevaluate everything—their values, their social institutions, their government. We can quell our anxiety by envisioning a more equitable and democratic society—and working to achieve it.
Resist yes, but also build.

Yesterday @ed4d.bsky.social staged a silent procession in downtown Durham, NC.
Holding black and white signs, folks marched over two miles around the city to proclaim:
“Democracy won’t die on our watch!”

But fighting FOR something can be joyful and liberating.

A MOVEMENT is when large numbers of people unite around a common vision with a broad, symbolic goal
A CAMPAIGN is a series of actions designed to achieve a specific objective
We seem to be in a movement phase, but campaigns are still important—they can sustain dissent after the whirlwind dies down

Good intentions are not enough.
Being right does not guarantee success.
Victory is achieved by carefully planned campaigns that remove the opponent's pillars of support.
