Sam – Down Ballot races I and II – Everyone here is already keenly aware of the importance of down ballot races – it’s why say “Vote Blue No Matter Who Top to Bottom.” But in discussing these races, Sam isn’t trying to convince us. Possibly to motivate us, but certainly to encourage us. We have some stunning candidates and some races with strong showings. (And they have some disgusting candidates.)
May I just say a word about voting? I know there are people – Noam Chomsky is one – who are pointing out that voting is not the most powerful (sometimes they say effective) way of accomplishing change. That’s actually true. But – if you want a fuller, richer life, breathing is not the most powerful (or most effective) way to accomplish that. But you aren’t going to get it dome without continuing to breathe, regularly. In that way, voting is like breathing.
Memes to Movement – Certainly not everyone can do everything – but “Everyone has a role.”
A Night of Star – Nominated for an Emmy – great news. Best of luck to Sam!
Black Pumas – To me this is one of the better ones Sam has featured. That may say more about me than about the group or the song, but there it is.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yes, voting is not all its chalked up to be, but, not voting is like not eating, even while breathing.
W/view later …
