Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Every few weeks we gotta make posts like this”call your dem reps to tell them to not vote to allow Lord Killdude to shove people into a volcano” and then the dem reps go “we’ve made an amazing deal where Lord Killdude can have his volcano so long as he promises not to shove people into it”

“Very few people really care about freedom, about liberty, about the truth, very few. Very few people have guts, the kind of guts on which a real democracy has to depend. Without people with that sort of guts a free society dies or cannot be born.”

"I believe in traditional gender roles, which have served us well for generations. I expect my husband to be the breadwinner, while I take care of the home, and his first wife wails and paces the floors in the night from somewhere above our heads."
I Believe That Marriage Should Be Between a Man, a Woman, and His Mentally Ill Wife Who Lives In the Attic
Call me old fashioned, but I believe in traditional values, the ones we’ve stood on for centuries. That children are the future. That family comes ...

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III, and I count at least 15 of them that Donald Trump has also committed in whole or in part.

Particularly notable right now:
"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures."

In the face of hate, anger, and division, find and expand the resistant strength of love, joy, and community. We need every bit of it—not only to withstand and defeat the onslaught, but to move forward together and build into the next chapter.
