From Michael Moore substack:
I promised you a blueprint and a strategy that, beginning today, working together, we can use to actually, once and for all, end the career of a political arsonist, the man who attempted to overthrow the duly-elected government of the United States of America, the 34-time convicted felon, self-admitted sexual abuser, and one-time Dean of Trump University: Donald J. Trump.
This is it.
This is how Trump will meet his fate: You, me, this Toolkit I’m building for you, and millions of Americans who will be engaged and unforgiving over these next three months.
Although this toolkit has the blessing of many in my progressive family of activists, writers, and non-violent rebels, it has not been approved by the Democratic National Committee. I did run it by various people in D.C. who were happy to read it. All agreed that nothing I’m suggesting we do is wrong or inappropriate and, in fact, I was told it was actually better that we were doing our own “rogue operation.”
We then dive deep into the nightmare of money in politics with GREG COLERIDGE of Move to Amend.
RAY MCCLENDON of Communities United for Justice gives us the full report for embattled, disenfranchised Georgia.
We take a deep dive into the dark world of the Electoral College and the possibility that the 2024 election could hinge on MAGA decertifying enough states to swing the presidency.
WENDI LEDERMAN gives us the latest report from Ron Desantis’s Florida.
PAUL NEWMAN, MIKE HERSH, MYLA RESON & LYNN FEINERMAN give us great insights into saving our democracy.
Chair SUSAN YOUNG of the Pacifica Radio National Board gives us the call to vote in the on-going Pacifica election.
DR. RUTH STRAUSS updates us on Pacifica and the protection of our national election.
TATANKA BRICCA then introduces the great DENNY ZANE, former mayor of Santa Monica, who explains the Earth-moving referendum process in Los Angeles.
Denny is joined by the great LINDA SEELEY of the Mothers for Peace of San Luis Obispo, working for 50 years to shut the insane reactors at Diablo Canyon.
Like most Americans, Vice President Kamala Harris has evolved on marijuana.
In 2010, when she was San Francisco’s district attorney, Harris urged voters to reject a proposed ballot initiative to legalize the adult-use marijuana market. At the time, Harris’ position aligned with that of most California voters, 54 percent of whom ultimately decided against the measure.
But not long after, Harris — and most Americans — changed their stance.
Trump has shot himself in the head, politically. While pundits are fixated on how Trump offended Black voters by saying Kamala Harris identified as Indian-American, not Black, they have missed The Big One: The Donald offended Asian-American voters.
There is no difference here between America's atomic bombs and the bombs of destruction and annihilation that "Israel" drops on the people of Gaza which are smart American bombs that have many similarities and bloodiness to those found in successive American administrations which are united by the characteristic that they are inhumane administrations.
In Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, the population was exterminated and in Gaza they have been doing the same thing for ten months. Yes, and we do not exaggerate when we mention that the size of the destructive force and the number of bombs that fell on Gaza and as a reminder and so that we never forget, "Israeli" American, German, British, French and Western bombs in general.
The right-wing Republicans . . . the Christian nationalists . . . have hoisted their flag: Project 2025, a.k.a., Project Hell on Earth, and it’s coming to a future near you. Or so they believe (and hope).
