As I spent some time over the weekend in Moss Point tending to my mom and enjoying family, the horrific images out of Chicago intruded.

I keep asking myself where is the art for this moment. What is the soundtrack for our time?

Republicans are lying, because they are banking on this: that large swaths of the country will deny themselves healthcare because they don’t want undocumented people to have it.

Speaks volumes.

Republicans want Democrats to spend their time responding to their lies. Just say they are pathological liars. And then turn to what they are actually doing. They are snatching away the healthcare of ordinary Americans.

These people are freedom snatchers!

Democrats need a full court press during the shutdown. Spend money on commercials and ads in print media. Town halls on YouTube. Reels on Instagram. Information about what Republicans are doing across platforms that will touch Trump’s base.

Don’t fight on your heels. Get on your toes.

I know I wavered a bit in my last weekly wrap up. But I am clear now. Democrats cannot roll over to avoid a shutdown. Trump and Republicans are trying to destroy the ACA. Hospitals will close. Premiums will increase. People will be left uninsured. Hold the line. No healthcare. No vote!

I find it strange that some folks still want to play the game by the old rules when Trump and MAGA have flipped over the damn table.

A vision at scale is needed to counter what these people are doing to this country

Reading Dr. King’s book, Where Do We Go From Here?, for class. I keep thinking to myself as I read: why don’t we have a systematic treatment of the kind of just society we want that matches the scale of Project 2025.
