Thank you for crystallizing myriad thoughts that have been whirring around my brain. My 27-y-o son suggested this may be an opportunity for growth, to make things better (I love that kid!) The old guard let us down (and threw Kamala under the bus, imo). Time for a new party of forward thinkers, bold leaders, fresh ideas, and badass communicators.

Thank you for giving voice to the urgency of this time! It's frustrating how many are reacting but not leading. And - it's good for us to find companions to keep us moving onward. Grateful for the way you do this so regularly.

Amen! I am tired of seeing Republicans dishonestly shape public opinion and then us trying to prove we are not whatever negative thing they ascribed to us. We need to honestly shape public opinion because as it is Americans are applauding this fake rooting out of fraud which is really Trump destroying the separation of powers.

We need to combine kitchen table issues with an anti-tyranny message. I think we can do that. Kitchen table issues open the door. People need to be able to relate to something in their lived experiences. Then, once they do, we can talk about the real things that Trump is doing, not the things he says he is doing.

Well done, Michele! I especially like, "But in our desperation to cling to the things that once were, we forget that we can swim." And swim we must!

Excellently written. Wholeheartedly agree with the new approach we are seeing from the Dems you mentioned. And love the movie quote "sometimes you need to be more than you were programmed to be.”

As the Southern boys would say “damn straight” and now we girls need to say the same. It’s time to pull up our big girl panties and speak the truth to this unholy power.
