The author of the Substack newsletter "Leadership Matters", George A. Polisner's civ.works -https://civ.works/, is working on the same idea, perhaps a collaboration can be established.
I've always felt if all the organizations separately working toward the same progressive goals joined forces, then billionaire money would matter not.
Good job America! Time for the pitchforks because we are not done until the white house, the congress, the senate and the levers of power have gotten the message. This is not a democrat win or a republicon loss, this belongs to the people.
I submit to you that the VERY FIRST order of business, while subpoenas & document requests are being prepared, is to make it to JANUARY 3! I am very disturbed right now with the harmful threats I see on bsky & SS from some progressives who are demanding new Congressional leaders. While I am not opposed to that at all, I am mindful that now is not the time to have a pissing contest over it, when leadership can be resolved AFTER Jan 3 if necessary when the new Congress is seated. If trump & Miller etc, smell a division they can use, their bots will swarm the public & undermine stability & trust. Whoever is elected in Nov/Dec for House/Senate for Dems, we need to accept that with cool heads as we expect others (GOP) to do in a democracy. If they don’t perform to the majority’s expectations AFTER JAN 3, they can be challenged & revoted. Let us as a unified party do nothing at this point to lose our citizens’ confidence or give trump an excuse to block the seating of Congress on Jan 3. Yes, it would be illegal. Yes we could grab our guns & challenge each other, or challenge his regime in court. But without a seated Dem Congress we are in limbo and still in the minority. Who the leaders are going in is a lesser problem than making sure we get in control of that branch of govt, however imperfect you think that may be with leaders you don’t like. To paraphrase a WWII tome “we have met the enemy and he is (NOT) us. HE is the trump fascist still trying to take over this country. And if you think that couldn’t happen, I remind you of another unthinkable moment in history on Jan 6. 2021. Or research how other fascist countries have tried or done it recently.
Thank you for your contribution to the conversation, this is the first of a series of five in which I do cover much of what you raise in your comment.
With respect this has nothing to do with whether I like the current leadership. That plays no part in my assessment of the situation. My contention is simply that just in recent days leadership seem incapable of answering the very simplest of questions like do you believe healthcare is a human right.
That should not be a cue for an incomprehensible word salad answer to deflect a simple question.
This ‘we can deal with it tomorrow’ argument is lazy I’m afraid. Perhaps we should circle back at the end of the week when I have covered all my thoughts on the situation - Martin

Thanks for this, it’s a different focus to what I’m doing here, but it’s valuable nonetheless.
In a breath we feel conviction; truth, in the moment, unbridled wisdom that may at once be squandered.
To lash out, through fear in the face of our own breath, knowing in the next we die….
That is the way of those who are out to prove they are enough, to gain that which they hope might save them.
To die, in the face of truth, is to die unloved; in truth we breath in love and out the same.
Truth Matters!
You’ve got this Martin.
Steady as she blows;0)
These are both great tools. Thank you, Martin.
