Tell us all about increased subscriptions and donations!

To cheer us up.

Today there's a post that the NYT has 200,000 more digital subscriptions since Nov 8.

I heard that the ACLU has raised some hundreds of thousands of dollars in that same time.

I also think I heard something about the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Do you have a fact or a link? Please share.

Ideas for comabatting Trump.

Here's a suggestion to the media. Please submit ideas of your own.

Glad to have found this. I've been looking...

... around for forums that are not so obsessed with Trump and found this. Not that he doesn't deserve our attention, but watching people spend energy on citing his every stupidity is making me tired. I see this isn't a very active forum, but I've subscribed here so I can see when stuff pops up.

In case you missed it, Amanpour's award speech.

The genius move is to come out as strong as DiBlassio without turning into McConnell

We need to come out fighting hard against Trump and all he stands for. But we need to direct that energy at the enemy. It's a little early to start saying fellow Dems are going along to get along. Getting along is not the goal. Doing what's best for the country is the goal. Let's not put on McConnell style blinders!

Are there legal sanctions against conflicts of interest...

.... between the President's business dealings and his duties as President? Or is it all just convention?

Links to help Foster Campbell in LA runoff.

Got this in an e-mail from our town Democratic committee. They also said they've gotten a lot of calls from new people. I'm one of them. Although I've always responded to calls for canvassing, etc, I wasn't on a mailing list for plain old meetings.

Is there a way to find out if the NYT subscriptions have gone up? nt

Does anyone know anything about the conference call...

... among a very large number of pregressive groups that took place either the night of the election or the next day or night? I thought I read about it on DU. Can't think of where else. But searches even confined to a day keep timing out?

I wondered if there's a chance for unprecedented unity in fighting the neo-Nazi takeover.

In particular I wondered if the very early statments by Sanders and Warren promising to "work with Trump IF..." signaled come coordination.

I just saw an ad for Amazon Prime that made me happy.

No talk, just light piano music. Two bearded clerics, one Muslim, one Catholic are visiting (maybe playing a game, maybe just talking). When the Muslim leaves you see each of them clicking on an Amazon Prime icon on their smart phones. Next you see packages being delivered to their homes. Each has received a gift a knee pads from the other. Useful for kneeling as shown in the closing scenes.

I know it's not changing structures, but we sure do need some communal rooting for true American values wherever we can get it.
