We’ve been working for months to prepare for another Trump term.  We’ve gone line by line through Project 2025. We’re ready to take on unconstitutional assaults on your reproductive rights, access to health care, and civil rights.  Elections have consequences, and presidents

APPALLING — 67 fake bomb threats. Most of them targeting heavily Democratic cities — all of which had lower turnout than in 2020. Many of the threats were traced to Russia. And somehow this is NOT a headline news story — and there is ZERO federal investigation.

Plenty of pundits are telling us “cheer up, Trump’s all hot air. He doesn’t really mean it.” History is littered with such self-deceptions, and they don’t age well. In fact, these confident chin-strokers have often proved to be a major part of the problem.

There is no set of facts in all the world that will make Trump voters believe pregnant women are dying because of abortion bans. “That is not happening.” They say. Well, it is happening. And it’s about to get much, much worse. Believe me.

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

In today's US, vast illiteracy is feeding exploding ignorance, magical thinking, and social pathology. American stupidity and barbarism are on the march. The world can only hope American democracy will survive. #MAGAMorons #MAGACult #RepublicansAreTheProblem #EducationMatters
