We're not "leftist circles". We're everyday Americans taking action to #ProtectOurFreedoms & #DefendDemocracy.

They can't possibly infiltrate 1000s of local Indivisible groups.

Even if they could, they'd have exactly zero success instigating trouble. Most of us have been at this since early 2017.
We all know each other with high levels of trust.
No one is going to walk in off the street and change that.

You're regurgitating old plays from playbooks that are not relevant to the moment.

Go to nokings.org/ to sign up for a protest near you.

If you are in striking distance of Philadelphia and can go to the protest rally there, please do. There will be busses to Philly from many places to facilitate.

Let's fill Ben Franklin Parkway with true American patriots. Come to Philly to #ProtectOurFreedoms and #DefendDemocracy.

No KingsNo KingsOn June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Congratulations to Allison Riggs, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina! This hard won victory is thanks to the voters of North Carolina (especially those from abroad) who kept fighting to make sure their votes were heard, counted, and not tossed out. A big win for small-d democracy. Finally, the 2024 election season is behind us. democratsabroad.org/congratula

The case that structural narcissism drives North American culture is strong in this well written piece. How can we overcome it? Curiosity.

Authoritarian leaders are not just narcissists themselves—they activate narcissism in others. Their politics is a performance of invincibility. They do not apologize, adapt, or learn. And they teach their followers to do the same.

Democracy, by contrast, is a pedagogy of mutual learning. It depends on the premise that we don’t know everything, that others can teach us, and that collective intelligence is superior to individual dominance.

That’s what makes democracy fragile in a narcissistic age. Its demands—listening, compromise, humility—feel like indignities to those who have been trained to expect affirmation and control.
