Back in the mists of time when I was young and learning to type there was an exercise that went: “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” That time has come — for men and women and LGBTQ+.
The grievously deranged despot in the White House is destroying our democracy. He must be stopped. Not by violence but by the ballot. First, with the 2026 election. Primary filing deadlines are right around the corner.
Now is the time for all good Republicans, those with a moral core and a backbone of honesty, especially those in “safe” districts, to stand for election against their colleagues who cavil and conspire.
Now is the time for all good Democrats to step out of the circular firing squad of identity politics and elitisms of whatever sort and get real about jobs, health care, migration and national security for the working class.
Now is the time.
