DOJ Assembling Unprecedented National Voter Database
As reported by the NYT(https://bit.ly/46j2Ib0) and covered by MSNBC the DOJ is “compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected, buttressing an effort by President Trump and his supporters to try to prove long-running, unsubstantiated claims that droves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.”
This is part of the Nazi attempt to rig future elections by having registered voter information so as to challenge voters ability to vote in upcoming elections This is conjunction with the concerted effort by the DOJ to get hold of the states’ voter rolls
Cheeto and the Nazis successfully rigged the 2024 by vigilante challenges that Greg Palast estimates gave Cheeto the electoral win by 1.5m votes Had it not been for the 40,000 Nazis who challenged voters Palast estimates that Harris would have won by 3.5m votes So there is reason to believe that the Nazis will be doing something similar in strategy to mess with the 2026 midterms
Words to fire me up by! Thanks, Kristoffer. Fatalism is a feeling, but a useless feeling that leads, as you said, to nowhere. We (Democratics--I thought I better define my ground after what you said to your student. 😊) do need to win and win by a landslide. I too had someone in my family quite close to me not vote for President in 2024. They voted, but not for either Presidential candidate. Now I plead for her to pay attention to what is happening. Reply: She, said, I hope for the best. Whew. I think she has hermit tendency. At present it does seem that money, basically capitalism run amok, is the driving force. Heard these words in church this morning---good advice to ponder whatever the belief: "What good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul." Mark 8: 36
Sounds like the semester is off and running for you. Missed your articles. Thanks again for sharing your insights and thoughts. Take care.
Restacking this: "Treating the arsonist and the firefighter as equally flawed doesn't make you neutral; it makes you complicit." I have written elsewhere that the job of our media is to stop reporting on the sinking of the Titanic, and help us keep it from sinking. I like yours better. And now watching what Ellison is up to, it will only get worse.
Alas, at this point, I expect the Republicans to hold both the house and the senate in the 26 midterm election. Same way I felt in late August last year that Trump was going to retake the white house.
The Dems have to do so much more, and we are spending our time fighting about Mamdani, Newsom, and the like, while middle america is just fine with Trump.
Kris I m not a paid subscriber but I like your Video on CK. I m not gonna hold empathy for his wife who is probably gonna end up continuing his work . I hope she would call for unity checks notes she didnt . (I wanted to write this but again not a paid subscriber to your substack.)
You are correct that Mainstream ONLY cares about profit. While there are some good faith journalists left many are being forced to compromise their integrity.
Now we are in basically what my friend Mel calls a redistricting arms race. Unfortunately for GQP they signed their deal with devil and the fruits are about to bear and they will probably pay the price in the midterms .
My friend in MI says Gaza was an issue….. yet I didnt any protesters taking Dumpy to ask for this . Only Joe and Kamala was responsible for the war in gaza? (Another case or reaping what you sow )
I again agree with you . People dont know how power works.
Yep as an adult you have to figure out what battles are important enough to lose so you can win a similar one . People dont understand that maybe chuck will allow them to shut down the government. Or maybe the pain in 26 will be so bad that people will understand yeah I m paying more outta my pocket for my meds mom’s home and her care is bad enough and I need help. Thats why we had these poorly managed systems in place to give people breathing room.
Nenapoma, you’re right on several fronts, and I want to take the time to unpack it all.
First, on Charlie Kirk—I can say plainly that even though I empathize with the way he died and for those who were close to him, I don’t believe any real lessons will be learned from it. While I can hold space for his friends and family, what I didn’t appreciate was the mainstream media’s rush to canonize him as if he were some kind of saint. He was a known bigot and sexist, and unfortunately, I suspect his wife will continue his legacy of spreading that same poison. Empathy for human loss doesn’t require whitewashing a person’s record.
On your point about the mainstream media—you nailed it. Profit motive runs the show, and while there are still good journalists trying to maintain integrity, too many are being forced into compromise. That’s why spaces outside the mainstream, like this one, matter so much.
You also hit the nail on the head about redistricting. What we’re living through now is a kind of arms race. Republicans signed their deal with the devil years ago, and those fruits are ripening. It may help them in the short term, but as you said, they’ll likely pay for it in the midterms when the backlash lands.
As for Gaza—you’re right again. There was selective outrage. People didn’t demand accountability from Trump or his allies on foreign policy disasters, but Biden and Harris got saddled with the blame. That double standard is part of the political machinery we’re up against.
Finally, your point about how people don’t understand power dynamics is crucial. You’re absolutely right that governing is about choosing which battles to fight, and sometimes which to lose strategically, so you can position yourself to win bigger ones later. Too many people want purity politics without recognizing how compromise and incremental wins are often the only way forward. And yes, the cost of healthcare, elder care, and basic needs are already crushing people. If the pain in ’26 gets bad enough, maybe folks will finally see how vital it is to build safety nets rather than tear them down. Poorly managed systems don’t just fail abstractly—they fail real people who need that breathing room.
My grandmother always said that if you held your hands out with one full of dreams and the other full of shit you are going to end up in a pile of shit. Alright, maybe not elegant but pretty darned true.
Diana, you’re right—and “elegant” isn’t what this moment calls for. We need clarity, courage, and follow-through: message discipline, relentless organizing, voter protection, coalition-building across differences, and a bias for action over vibes. Less pearl-clutching, more precinct captains. Less punditry, more registrations, door knocks, small-dollar fundraising, and rapid response to disinfo. If we pair moral urgency with operational muscle, we win the margins that decide outcomes.
Well done as usual!
