PAC-MAN Eats Again
But now need a Pepto.
We may be at a place in politics where the amount of money spent in the cause of lying about an issue that people are intensely focused on may actually work against your candidate.
Was there ever enough money AIPAC could spend to convince you there was no genocide in Gaza? Can Trump spend enough in November to convince you that the cost of living is down, that the war was a smart idea, that there was nothing to see in the Esptein files or that the pool looks great etc? I don’t think so. So what would we call this inflection point where voters, thinking for themselves, will effectively neuter the PACS? Whatever we call it, maybe “participatory democracy”, it will enable us to end dark money and keep democracy for even when we’re are not in constant trauma.
Here’s hoping we stay on top of all this. And leave the Right Wing Media this pissed…
ACTION:
This important message form Jess Craven:
All of U.S. 250: Mass Call & Mobilization
This coming Saturday, June 27, we’re taking to the streets for All of U.S. 250, in protest of the fascist regime that is destroying our democracy and erasing our history.
All of U.S. 250 is a commitment to fighting for a future that realizes freedom and equality for all — a future that refuses to repeat this country’s history of oppression with slavery, Jim Crow, and genocide as the authoritarians try to make us repeat it.
All of U.S. 250 is hosting a mass call TONIGHT, Wednesday, 6/24, at 8 PM ET. Join us for more details about Saturday’s mass action.




Love the drawing, which totally captures this moment.
Hope you’re right about “participatory democracy” giving us a path forward.
We are reforming the Democratic Party. Taking it back from Wall Street bent Clinton Neo-Liberals and taking it back to its effective Labor and Civil Rights coalitions.
But here in Maine, Senate establishment candidate Janet Mills has refused to concede and endorse the Democratic primary winner - who got 72% of the vote to Mills' 18%. Mills and her supporters are effectively working to elect Susan Collins and perpetuate the GOP majority.
Get Out The Vote is now.
Vote Blue No Matter Who
Blue Wave 2026
