It would be easier to pay attention if your link led to the article, not an ad for subscriptions to your newsletter.

"challenging experiences"? Euphemize much?

That's all you've got? And you want to be President?

5) Please comment, wordsmith, and help refine this message. Then let's go out and fight as fiercely as the bastards who kill to block abortion rights. And have fun doing it. Even today: I'm looking at you, Frederick Douglass.

4) Stand up for the nation and the world _we_ want to live in. And shut up about D1ckh3@d and his weasels and their schemes. It is so not just about the economy, stupid.

3) Paying your fair share to support the community that supports you is a duty so, say it loud: Tax the rich fairly,

2) Healthcare is a right; being heard is a right (so end Citizens United and restore/expand voting); food, shelter, & freedom of belief are all rights; and we will fight for them here and--because as the wealthiest nation in history we can--across the whole world (so USAID),

I've never studied political science and I've never been media-trained so maybe I'm wrong but:
1) Dems need to stand up and say: People we all know are hurting . We can, we must, & we will do what Americans do: Fairness, compassion, and protecting those we love. That means:

So much for our capacity to denounce MAGAts as Neanderthal scum. "Progressives," heal thyselves. And thank you bigtime for your service, @jamellebouie.net!

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.

This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.

What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

Vought. Bondi. AI bots plugged into the Federal payment system by incel punks. And some sh1th3@d Dem congressman called Jared Golden says it's not defcon 5. Guess he's waiting for death camps. Why I'm depressed.

Our Komindor Rip Van Winkle does the same. He'll stand in one spot for 10 minutes sniffing, turning his head, ears moving forward and back.

We Choose To Fight: Action Call ยท Indivisible This Sunday night, February 2 at 8pm ET/5pm PT, youโ€™re invited to join Indivisible, MoveOn, Working Families Party, and a coalition of other organizations for an action call. During the call, you will...

This means you need to understand the power they have. That takes some work, but if you want to be effective, it's work you have to do. Indivisible has lots of explainers on this stuff, and we're holding a call tonight with partners to strategize on next steps. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Don't waste energy on outrage. Call (don't text)your Congresspeople. Ask for a reply. Hold them accountable.

Every elected Dem needs to just start talking.  Like a real human.  Donโ€™t listen to your consultants.  Donโ€™t do polling.  Donโ€™t focus group it.  Just fight for us.  Stop worrying about optics.  Kristi Noem shot her puppy and is now Secretary of Homeland Security.
