Canada is just extremely hungry right now and you should be watching Copa instead of splitting hairs over the interview. You can split hairs tomorrow.

I don’t want to generalize too much but the place I see the most hope right now is from those that have been fighting the hardest for the longest time. Extended doomerism can be a luxury not afforded to those who have the most to lose.

3) Join a community group or board. Attend community meetings. This is a list of all the committees/boards in my county. Your country/city probably has the same! Pick a local issue and show up! 3/3 Feel free to add your own ideas in this thread!

I see a lot of “but I already vote! And one time I marched!” today and people feeling they already “do it all.” Here are three things you might consider to be involved with politics. 1) sign up to GOTV. For a congressional/state/local candidate. Politics is about mobilization & coordination 1/3

"What the Times editorial board and Remnick and all the other pundits offered wasn't an answer to the problem. It was a frightened fantasy, a stampede away from logic, honesty, and democracy itself." A very good read for anyone swept up in the "replace Biden" drumbeat. And those that aren't.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).
