Republicans in Georgia were calling for new maps within hours. Florida, already in a special session, got the green light to go further. Analysts estimate this could cost Black members of Congress up to 15 seats.

Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom.

I lived inside the threats. Criticizing the President is not violence. It's the job description of a citizen.

I don’t think a lot folks understand how massive Péter Magyar’s election was today in Hungary over Viktor Orbán. It was a massive 33% swing in votes. That’s insane. That would be like a Democratic supermajority being created in Congress overnight. Holy shit.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

I see all of the posts directing so much anger at all of us in the United States for "allowing" Trump to happen. I get it. I understand it, and rarely offer any pushback. But there are millions of us who oppose him. We don't have time for self-flagellation. We are trying to fix this.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.
