Jack Smith went to Congress to testify. The republicans wanted to interrupt him trying to make him look like a crazy person. The democrats supported him. He came away as calm and confident as ever. He knows his investigation was legitimate. Follow and stay safe.

I am basically only on here and SubStack. I still have 50k on Twitter but I never go there.

Tom, are you on multiple channels? Social Media? I'm not. I'm here and it's basically the only platform I use. We need an influencer of sorts :)

Yes. Note that under some nodes I have links to external websites and/or other concept maps. Ideally each cluster would have links to articles like yours and to people doing central organizing work.

Thank you, Tod! Is it okay if I take a look around in your discord to ascertain the format you've been using? I've been following, and I know you shared your template in other regions across Canada to set up their own support systems. Ingenious work! Fellow Canadian currently a hostage in US😉

@todmaffin.com Tod, I'm so impressed with the fabulous success of your health care initiative across Canada. Wondering if you might provide your southern neighbours with advice or tips to begin a discord here. An active, nationwide community centered Project 2029 for the next admin! The People PLAN!

Would you have any advice or an outline of how we could model this idea after the approach you've taken with the Canadian Health Care Initiative?
Here's Tom's idea...

Thanks 🙂 We just let it grow organically and had enough channels for people to find their tribe.

A great vision laid out by our friend Tom Joan! Areas of expertise I can bring are in education and health care! Increasing experience in aging!

I first created this concept map in 2016. After reading your article I created a #Project2029 version. I'm not sure it has every issue you included. It might have others, too. Each cluster needs links to someone aggregating info & connecting people focused on that issue. I hope it helps.

Project 2029: A Call to Action

“What I am proposing,what I am saying we need,is simple in concept and staggering in execution. We need to create Project 2029: a grassroots movement to build a comprehensive progressive policy agenda for the next administration that might welcome it.”

There is a moment in every country's history when the forces of evil must be challenged with clear and decisive action. For America, that moment is now.

Joad just keeps getting better, better at describing the depth of the abyss America has fallen into and better at concocting scenarios in which she could climb out again. By some some curious slate of pen he often succeeds in persuading failing hands to give it another try. Read him.

The Briefing Room Notes on Accountability
