Very grateful for your post. You are reading my mind. And the reality for me is that the horror already of Gaza, of those young men sent to die brutal deaths in El Salvador.

I am very sure the midterms will be chaos - and if democrat candidates win, well, they wont. Just listen a little to the right wingers on "RealAmericas Voice" and you will hear the cranking up of the "stolen election" gears.

My mantra is "we are going to have to cross our own Edmund Pettus Bridge."

We are in a full blown fascist coup. And people do not get it. Everyday I get an email or text about details of the dismantling, details of what is happening to each agency. It's the trees, not the forest that is blazing with fire they see. I get blank stares when I say this is fascism, we have to act.

I'm very concerned about the atomizing of the progressive communities. Beyond the protests there is no collective plan to organize. We are leaving it all up to Bernie and AOC?

We must build our media and extend it beyond the left. We have to be very aggressive in messaging and repeat and repeat. We have to act like there are trains leaving for Auschwitz. Because that is exactly what is happening.

I subscribe to you and other progressive sites. I know all of this horrible shit. When are you going to do something useful like suggesting peaceful but interruptive strategies to stop this? We are beyond gathering info. We have it. What the frig" to you recommend we do? Go to more 35,000 people demonstrations. Is that having any effect on what's happening. No! Suggest something or I'm cancelling my subscription!!!
