You know what really grinds my gears: A bunch of billionaire tech-bros and religious zealots are literally buying our fucking government like it's a fire sale at RadioShack, and we're all just sitting here watching Netflix while they install their handpicked fascists into every goddamn office from dog catcher to the White House.
Ah, Wendy, I have a whole conspiracy theory about this (especially Peter Thiel.) I'll comment more later (I'm reading this off your Jeff T's comment.) For now, I will just say that I am unfortunately Vance's third cousin, eight times removed. His ancestors moved to NC early on, and mine stayed in Pennsylvania. They came as Quakers to Pennsylvania around 1700 or before. And people don't think we should secede? (California, at least.)
"We'll probably just tweet about it and call it resistance while they count their money and our votes"? You are doing a lot more already. We just sent Newsom a hundred bucks to counter the TWO full-page direct mail pieces we have ALREADY received from fascists opposing California's fight with Texas over gerrymandering. AND we are showing up. I recommend Jack Hopkins' piece on Newsom's tactics this morning. Keep on keeping on.
This is a really great, informative piece which I can wrap a counteroffensive around in my mind. The biggest, ugliest fact underpinning opposition forces right now is lack of central command of a stable communication machine. **ONE MORE TIME: (sorry) Democrats are the one org that we can take over, to put it bluntly, and mobilize for emergency command and control operations****.
Color me insane, but the real proof is spelled out here in an itemized, verifiable way by Wendy. I’ve spent the weekend digging into these motherfuckers and they are truly cockroaches with advanced Star Trek cloaking devices scurrying around fucking things up for our futures. Meanwhile numnuts like Ken Martin (DNC Chair) are do-nothings complicit in all of this.
I can’t say it enough. Organization against this is essential, and to do that we need people to sign up to help with the mucho-legwork involved in making that happen. Everything from social media to web to strategic marketing to … yes… FUNDRAISING to show we actually have an organized opposition. Let’s chat about how this can go from digital ink to reality.
THANK YOU WENDY. This was a home run! Fuckin’ eyyyy. Great job!
Democracy is only an obstacle to overcome. They don’t care about it.
What they really want is unfettered power and unfettered access to America’s assets.

I think secession ahould be a very real consideration. Pacifica (Calif-Oregon-Washington) should breakaway. Economic
Powehouse!
Pacific-stan!
Actually, a Canadian socialist minister has suggested we join Canada!
That'd be fine too 😎
