Friends, this work is only possible with your support. If you can possibly become a paid subscriber, it’s more important than ever that you do. In these days, a s we face a next Trump administration, we all need to support work that is not going to bring back the same, failed Democratic opposition, but presses for something new. We need fact-based strategies that don’t repeat the mistakes of the past and are not beholden to flows of money from the wealthy and a consultant class that has every incentive to never admit its mistakes.

All your support is appreciated, and if you don’t have the means to pay for a subscription or donate in support, sharing this newsletter and helping to bring in more subscribers is great too!
