BREAKING: Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder broke out an acoustic rendition of Bruce Springsteen's "My City of Ruins" at their show last night to support Springsteen in his fight against Donald Trump. This is awesome. America is waking up.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

My Saturday PSA:
Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore.
Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office.
Stop talking about Joe Biden.
Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life.
Here's what that can look like:
World-class writing
The best stories, ideas, and culture right at your fingertips.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.
My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.
Oh and get the money out of politics

We converted President Biden's 1 minute message on standing up to Democracy into Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, German and French using AI. It's an important message and it should reach all American, regardless of what language they speak. thedemlabs.org/2024/01/…
Terrific!
I thought it was terrific, too. Until I saw they did not include Dothraki and Klingon. How are we to keep the votes of the youth and nerd contingents if we cannot communicate with them in their native tongues? [/sarcasm]
Will, I've admired your comments for quite awhile. I have an idea for outreach to young voters and wonder if you'd like to collaborate or point me towards someone who could help me. I agree that humor is a good way to reach all voters but particularly younger voters. I'm wondering if we could crowdfund a pot of money for prizes and sponsor a contest to create viral videos for use on tiki tok or other social media towards GOTV and other priority Dem topics. This could be a creative way to offer …
Bob,
Sorry for the delay in replying. Check out this blog about a nonprofit Students For Justice which gives college interns (mainly from minority communities). One of the things they do is create TikToks. I think it is very cost effective and the students get a small stipend. Glad to discuss further. deepak@thedemlabs.org
