It’s essential that we channel our fascination, outrage and anxiety over what is happening into political organizing. Run for office. Join a local political organization. Volunteer for a candidate. Doing something is better than refreshing your feed.

If young people vote in numbers anywhere near the percentages of other generations they can get any policy they want. College affordability, climate, civil rights, healthcare, immigration whatever your generation decides. It’s your government if you just take it over.

If you don’t like the way this President is handling the murder of a journalist, vote Democrat. If you don’t like child separation, vote Democrat. If you like Medicaid and Medicare, vote Democrat. If you hate the tax bill, vote Democrat. If you’ve had enough, vote Democrat.

Every time he does something awful, you do something to help Dems win. He tweets, you phone bank. He announces a bad policy, you send money to a democrat. He hurts people, you knock on doors. For the next 55 days we have one way to express our outrage and that is to work to win.

We are now around two months from the most important midterm elections possibly ever. I want to offer some incomplete thoughts on what we might want to focus on.

I’ve seen enough. I will vote no. As long as the republicans refuse to release 96 percent of the Kavanaugh records, this process is illegitimate. Every other SCOTUS nominee has turned over nearly everything, and I am now convinced they are hiding something.
