Undaunted
Patriots from Boston to Quantico to Portland defend democracy
From Boston courtroom to Quantico to Portland, undaunted, unbowed, and unapologetic patriots took up the fight to preserve democracy. MAGA fanatics plot to destroy the republic, much larger legions of courageous pro-democracy voices remain loud and determined. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Undaunted

Top brass (unnecessarily dragged away from posts around the world at the cost of $6M to taxpayers) illustrated loyalty to the Constitution. They remained stone-faced and refused to applaud during the most cringeworthy addresses ever delivered by a secdef and potus open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Democrats Pull Away From AIPAC, Reflecting a Broader Shift
Democrats Pull Away From AIPAC, Reflecting a Broader Shift... AIPAC has broadly overplayed its hand, lost track of what binds Israel to US (DEMOCRACY) and become aligned with the rightwing govt not the people of Israel. Like ADL it has lost its way. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

I am sickened by today’s attack in Manchester. Antisemitism is on the rise around the world, and we must do all we can to stomp it out. I am grateful to first responders and congregants who showed incredible bravery, and I am praying for those who were killed.

I grieve the passing of Jane Goodall. As a child went to hear her speak and was so mezmerized and enchanted by her humility, purposefulness, and love of our closest animal relatives. Her work was extraordinary, her life an example. RIP

The assumption that the side “causing” the shutdown is destined to lose is faulty when the president is underwater on every issue, the economy is in decline, and he seems obsessed with everything but the shutdown issues (persecuting his enemies, politicizing the military, etc.).

No Wonder We Have a Shutdown
Trump's abject ignorance and narcissism made this inevitable
Aided and abetted by MAGA Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (who sent his members out of town rather than risk swearing in the new Democratic representative…who would be 218th vote Epstein discharge), Trump made no effort to keep the government open.

The very botched Comey indictment
The case so far is so sloppy, it might never get to a jury.
The very botched Comey indictment.. solid takedown from someone who was a competent fed prosecutor (which none of the people in pix below are)

Opinion | These Six Charts Tell You Exactly What’s at Stake in This Shutdown
Thanks to Republican legislators, a 55-year-old couple making $85,000 annually could see their health insurance cost more than triple, to $24,535 a year. Obviously that’s unaffordable, which is why so many will drop coverage.
