A new era calls for a new strategy.
#DefendDemocracy Board & Director meet to discuss the future of #democracy.
Where else than in #Brussels, the heart of #EUrope, leader of the Free World? 
(But how long can the EU hold the line if we obey the US in advance & don’t invest in democratic security?)
California Friends:
Please call your state legislators and ask them to support Senate Joint Resolution 1 (SJR-1, Weiner).
The legislation would rescind all seven prior calls for a Constitutional Convention.
While it may have seemed a good idea on certain issues in the past, we can't take chances in this political climate. It would open a can of worms.

Democrats must fight harder but fascism and oligarchy are the true enemies. Civil rights, voting access, and public good must never be sacrificed.
Keep the pressure on. Organize. Vote. Protect what’s left.

Powerful speech by veteran actor Frank Morgan from the 1943 film "A Stranger in Town". Still resonates today. #HoldThemAccountable #DefendDemocracy
To defeat the #GOP, this country needs to have permanent #Democratic
Party offices staffed by local people and local volunteers, creating a human to human social network. Especially in rural "red" States.
Constant reaching out and contact across all demographics. Not #socialmedia. Not TV and radio ads.
Door to door 
"All #politics is local"
Turn the #political model on its head, and flip it upside down.
It's about flippin' time. Pun intended.

One of #DefendDemocracy's recommendations: align EU's #MFF budget with the recently agreed 1.5% #NATO defence spending to invest in values-based #tech sovereignty & societal #resilience to hybrid warfare.

Just #Vote to

It means electing Democrats except in those unusual cases where a 3rd party candidate honestly and REALLY has a chance of winning.

On my way to #NATOsummit Public Forum in The Hague, where I hope to discuss societal resilience against hybrid attacks.
Live example: despite potential sabotage between Amsterdam and Schiphol, my train is running smoothly 
Defend Democracy joins call urging #Europe to put #democracy at the heart of its new #security agenda.
“People should never be afraid of their government.
Government should be afraid of its people.”
That's the spirit this country was founded on.
Not silence. Not submission.
This 4th of July, let's remind them who holds the power.
We the People.
This July 4th, don't just celebrate freedom — demand it.
Our rights are under attack.
Our voices are being silenced.
Our future is being sold off by the powerful.
But power in this country was never meant to sit on a throne — it was meant to live with the people.
So this Independence Day, we march. We speak. We protest.
Because freedom isn't fireworks — it's action.
Join us in the streets. July 4th. America's 249th Birthday.
