Our Take: We've Been Here Before

There's actually good news to share, as the 2024 election cycle closes out. California added three congressional seats to the Dem column. Notably, Adam Gray defeated his rival John Duarte in CA-13 by a little more than 100 votes. (Talk about voting matters!)

The Congressional count stands now at 220R/215D, and with three absences, the margin is even thinner. The various caucuses within the "R" domain is such that very little is going to get done, for good or ill.

There is no doubt now that forces of both chaos and fascism will be exposed in the coming year, whether or not the voters knowingly asked for it. But people are already working hard at protecting the things that are important. and defeating fascism. We at the very least need to tune in to those efforts, and connect with each other to optimize our own efforts. Here's a recommendation for a book that will get you started down the path of hope. It's an easy read, and covers a lot of ground. Get it if you can.
