This post by Thom Hartmann is a brilliant and present-day application of the practical truth's from Hartmann's "Cracking the Code" - probably the best book on communication I've read. Thom also touched on the core ideas of moving away from pain/ moving towards pleasure while on MSNBC with Ali Velshi on Saturday. This is good. More of us need to know what is truly motivating our thoughts and feelings, and having Thom on national TV is a good way to do just that.

Thom also mentioned a quote by perpetually-on--point Sabrina Haake in today's post (everyone should subscribe to her substack) which speaks to the unbreakable truth that trump's sole method for motivating people is to bludgeon them with a very ugly stick. It's true. There's no hope, and no hope for hope, in anything trump embodies - he is fear incarnate. And fear may burn the hottest, but it burns out the quickest.

Harris and Walz on the other hand, well, the joy we're witnessing and experiencing speaks for itself. It may take time to grow, but hope lives steady and stronger.
