Remember how cool it was with Kamala up there and the local band playing, and people in the audience bopping around? That’s exactly how it was in Tiananmen Square for a while, and how it felt in Nicaragua when the Sandinistas were doing literacy and immunization, and a dawn of hope was growing that good people might get to run the country for once.

Here’s how to volunteer with the Democrats; there are other organizations that are less “political” if you prefer those. I definitely think having allies during what’s coming is a good idea, both to get involved in stopping it, and for simple survival if it does go wrong in a big way.
