I've been a fan of Sam Daley Harris for many years. His thinking and activism has motivated and inspired my own efforts in the non-profit world.

An organization he founded called RESULTS is a citizen lobby dedicated to creating the political will to end poverty and hunger. His work has literally saved people's lives. He founded and now leads Civic Courage, providing all of us the opportunity to make a difference on the lives of people we will never even know.

Sam's book Reclaiming Our Democracy is a testament to what's possible when citizens are engaged in the democratic process. Working through Civic Courage, Daley Harris and his volunteers have led successful efforts to block some of the draconian budget cuts in the Trump agenda, forming a bulwark against their cruelest effects.

He is an important leader for such a time as this.

There's a general consensus about a few things regarding AI:

• It's here and it's not going anyplace. The world will never be the same.
• It's extremely convenient to use at times, though people should realize that sometimes it lies.
• The environmental damage it causes is huge.
• In the hands of corporations like Palintir, it's already being used for what could be government control and totalitarian purposes.
• The conversation we're having about it as a society is morally and ethically inadequate to the challenges it poses for the human race.

I asked Brian O'Kelley, co-founder of AppNexus and Scope3, to help us start to figure all this out. It's not a conversation we should leave in the hands of those who've proven themselves careless about the fate of our democracy or our species.

Also, Brian will join me for a zoom call with paid subscribers on Thursday night, 5pmPT and 8pm ET. We'll be sending you the link! So think of your questions and lets have the conversation.

This one literally affects us all.

From deporting innocent citizens to criminalizing homelessness, America's government today is breaking laws and normalizing cruelty. Tens of thousands of America's unhoused population work part or even full time. Many have children. When homeless encampments are removed and people's belongings trashed, how are those people to keep their jobs? How are the children to go to school? The level of trauma being inflicted on people is something beyond what any person of conscience should be willing to tolerate.

I asked Jesse Rabinowitz, Campaign and Communications Director at National Homelessness Law Center, to help explain what's happening and what we can do about it. Please support a bill currently before Congress that would actually help solve the problem. Make calls. Spread the word. Make noise.

Cruelty is evil. We must not give in.

A TEST

Earlier today I posted a video about the shameless Congressional redistricting plan going on in Texas. I said I'd be back with my interview with Beto O'Rourke, so here it is! He's filled with great information and I'm glad to share it.

No one need feel helpless in the face of Trump's onslaught, because there's a lot we can do. But We the People need to do it. Beto's organization POWERED BY PEOPLE is doing exactly what needs to be done to help protect the midterms in Texas and elsewhere.

It doesn't matter what state you live in or who you are: if they're transgressing against liberty anywhere, they're transgressing against you.

This isn't a moment to take our feet off the gas…not even for a moment. We're moved from "threat" to our democracy to full on on-going attack on our democracy. Generations not even born yet will register whether or not we show up for this moment of truth.

Wake up. Rise up. And remember what my father used to say: "Don't let the bastards get you down."

A lot of hope is riding on the 2026 midterm elections, not that any of us are naive about efforts the Trump administration will make (in fact, already is making!) to ensure Republicans keep control of both houses of Congress. A compliant Congress, after all, has been a primary vehicle for the passage of the Project 2025 agenda.

I’ll gladly interview Congressional candidates who offer hope for real change in Washington. Today’s conversation is with J.D. Scholten of Iowa. J.D., now an Iowa State legislator, decided to jump into the race when he saw Senator Joni Ernst’s response to a constituent who complained that the Medicare cuts will cause people to die. She said, “Well, we all are going to die.” She then doubled down with a sarcastic apology that was pretty shocking even by today’s low standards. Wow.

I hope you enjoy my talk with J.D. Washington will be a much better place if Scholten win this race, and I can give a personal endorsement that he’s a really, really, really good guy.

Here’s J.D’s website. If you enjoy the interview, I hope you’ll throw in some support.

A little change of pace today…

I did an interview you might enjoy. Relationships, sociopaths and spirituality are the topics covered in my conversation with author Arielle Ford about her latest book, "The Love Thief."

The book is coming out this week, and if you find the interview compelling you can check it out at at www.thelovethief.com. It's based on a true story and captures insights very relevant to the times in which we live.

Enjoy!
