Still limping along...

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!

Just like last time, I'm living on borrowed time and using a borrowed computer. Hunh. Whaddayagonnadew?

It's been a long day, and I don't have a lot in the tank to write an intro for today's post. Hunh again. Whaddayagonnadew again?

Let me just summarize the key points I made last time and add a few for shits and giggles...I'm pooped, so I'll be brief:

1. Trump is a tremendous threat to world peace and security, which makes him a tremendous threat to our peace and security. How many more unnecessary wars do we really need?

2. Pence is an evangelical right-wing ideologue. Between his voting record and Trump's being beholden at least to some degree to the Republicans because he's running as a one, you can kiss goodbye the last eight years of social justice gains--gains for women, Blacks, LGBTQ, and other non-white non-rich non-white non-male non-Christians. Is the Trump-Pence ticket really the sort of bigotry we as a nation want to be identified with? Do we really want to see Muslim internment camps like we caged American-born Japanese in in WWII?

3. Merrick Garland's seat plus probably Ruth Bader Ginsburg's SCOTUS seats will be in play over the next four years. Do we really want Ted Cruz and his ilk as SCOTUS justices for the next generation?

4. Trump has a proven track record of hiring poor employees--not the best employees--and he has a proven track record of screwing over the people who work with and for him as well as those unfortunate enough to buy whatever dreck he's selling. Just look at his business record, like TrumPEW and his four bankruptcies. Is gross mismanagement really what we want to throw at this nation's problems--are we really that suicidal?

5. Trump has flip-flopped on every issue under the sun--whatever it takes to get what he wants, like the nomination. Nobody knows what Trump really stands for except Donald J. Trump...and his ego the size of three time zones.

And...

6. Bernie's moved the Democratic platform farther to the left than it's been in living memory. If Trump gets in, we kiss up any chance of implementing any of Bernie's hard-won contributions.

7. Hillary is not going to blow up the country or the planet. She will at least give us enough breathing room to regroup and fight another day. We won't have that luxury with Trump. Trump and Pence would deregulate so much so quickly that our heads will spin trying to keep up with all the disasters. We can't fix what no longer exists. Like the planet, which is in desperate trouble due to climate change and pollution.

Please, guys 'n' gals--get out there and VOTE BLUE no matter what! Not just for president but for every seat that's up for grabs. We need to send these Republican fucksicles a loud and clear message NOW!

DON'T Make America Hate Again.

Republicans are trying to sell Mike Pence as an experienced, polished governor.
Donald Trump's choice of extreme anti-choice, anti-LGBT Gov. Mike Pence could cost him the entire election. Will you chip in $5 to help make sure undecided voters know the truth about his radical anti-choice record?
Dear Friend,
Donald Trump may have just handed Democrats the entire election--if we act fast.
You see, when Trump picked the extreme anti-choice, anti-LGBT Governor Mike Pence as his running mate, he did because he needed to appease his party's far-right base.
But even before Pence became his running mate, Trump was losing by double-digits among women and moderate voters.1 And if we can make sure people know the facts about Pence's radically outside-the-mainstream positions, this could be the final straw that ends any chance that Trump wins in November.

From General (Ret.) Wesley Clark
In just a few hours, Donald Trump is going to accept the Republican Party's presidential nomination.

Let
me say this about Donald Trump: he has made it very clear that he'll say anything to get publicity, and to get elected. And the truth is, it is a very dangerous thing for the President of the United States -- the nation's Commander in Chief, to not stand for anything.

This is the most important election in decades, and the race is too close for comfort. But the good news is, there is no progressive organization better suited to meet the challenges of the coming election cycle than VoteVets. If they have the resources to continue elevating the voices of veterans against Trump, I am sure we can stop him. That's why I have to ask:
Can I count on you to make a $3 contribution to VoteVets before Trump takes the stage tonight as a way of saying you will do whatever it takes to stop him from becoming the next Commander in Chief?

Dear Friend,
Well, it's official: Donald Trump just accepted the Republican presidential nomination.
Tonight, Trump opened his acceptance speech by saying, "We will be a country of generosity and warmth."
But Trump has said a lot of things about women—and none of them convey generosity, warmth or anything remotely close.
He said there should be "some form of punishment" for women who choose abortion.
He said Planned Parenthood "is like an abortion factory, frankly."
He's said of women, "You gotta treat 'em like shit."
And, of course, he's called women "bimbos," "dogs," and "pigs."
Trump has made it clear that he’s unfit to be president of the United States. He doesn't have the temperament, values or good judgment to lead this country—he's a vulgar bully, and we cannot vote for someone so wrong for America's future.
It's not complicated. No matter where your politics lie, say you won't vote for Donald Trump in November. Make it official and sign on right now.
Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom, and for helping us keep Donald Trump as far away from the White House as possible.

Dear MoveOn member,
Donald Trump just accepted the Republican presidential nomination. There is no going back. He’s the nominee—just one step away from being president of the United States—and we have to do everything in our power to stop him.
The reality is this: Trump was surging in the polls BEFORE the convention.1 And former New York Times data wizard Nate Silver—who picked every single state with 100% accuracy in 2012—is estimating that this week, the Republican National Convention (even as crazy as it's been), could give Trump a 4 point gain in the polls.2 That’s enough to put Trump in the lead against Hilary Clinton.
We're running an emergency campaign to counter the bounce Trump is expected to get from his speech. Will you send an urgent contribution now to help our team mobilize in swing states to counter any bounce Trump gets from tonight’s speech?


The next few days are going to be critical. Trump’s campaign will be ramping up, and with the Democratic National Convention happening next week, we cannot afford to become complacent. Stopping Trump will take all of us—including independent organizations like MoveOn. With your help, we will:
  • Use social media to educate voters about what's at stake, with videos that will be seen tens of millions of times. We're on track to reach an audience equivalent to that of a cable news TV show, without a dime of corporate advertising.
  • Launch door-to-door volunteer canvasses using in-person conversations, which are proven to be one of the most effective ways to get out the vote and swing elections. We've just finished our proof-of-concept canvass in Ohio, and we're gearing up to roll it out in 10 key states.
  • Get MoveOn spokespeople on TV—to reach millions of Americans about just how just much is at stake. We've been interviewed by TV stations multiple times outside of the Republican National Convention this week, but we need your help to invest more in media pitching, training, and staffing, so that we can get in front of voters from now through Election Day with the messaging that our research and polling have shown can mobilize key voters who could decide the election.

Will you make an emergency contribution to help us defeat Donald Trump?
Yes, I'll chip in $3 right now to help stop Donald Trump.

Thanks for all you do.

From ColorOfChange
Because of our work together, the Republican National Convention (RNC) has fallen millions of dollars short of funding Trump’s coronation!1 I'm here in Cleveland at the convention, and the impact of our campaign is clear - this convention is a disaster for the GOP! 
Together we pressured two dozen major corporations to dump Trump and the RNC! These companies made a clear statement that they will not provide Trump’s party support, cover, or amplification for his campaign of hate. This game-changing win was only possible because more than 200,000 members like you took action by signing petitions and making phone calls to companies like Microsoft and Amazon.
With the RNC’s unprecedented financial shortfall - caused by members like you - the GOP will be forced to divert millions of dollars from their campaign war chest to the convention; funds that would’ve been used to help elect Trump and other GOP candidates running on anti-Black policies and messages of racism. We still have a long way to go to stop Trump’s and the GOP’s racist agendas, but winning this campaign made a big dent in their wallets!

The following sponsored email was sent to you by AlterNet on behalf of Tammy Duckworth for Senate: 






Dear Friend,

The Republican National Convention is happening now. We’re not sure what Donald Trump is going to say but we’ve already heard enough of his sexist, racist and xenophobic rhetoric to know that Donald Trump and the Republican Party do not represent the views of most middle-class Americans.
Now more than ever it is crucial that we take back the majority and build a Democratic firewall in the U.S. Senate – we must take every red seat that we can and flip it blue.
Illinois is the place to start. The Washington Post has called Illinois the "#1 most competitive Senate race in 2016". This race is Democrats' best chance in the country to turn a Republican Senate seat blue in November.
Will you add your name to help Tammy Duckworth defeat Mark Kirk, the most vulnerable GOP senator and put Democrats on the path toward turning the Senate blue?
Middle-class families need a leader like Tammy Duckworth who will fight for people like them and speak out against Donald Trump’s hateful fearmongering.
Tammy will stand up for working families and won't be beholden to corporate interests and billionaires. She'll fight to help our students by making college more affordable. Tammy is a Veteran who is dedicated to protecting the honor of those who sacrifice for our country every day.
Tammy Duckworth is the type of leader America needs in the Senate and will help build a Democratic firewall in the Senate come November. But she needs your support in order to do so.
Join our grassroots campaign to help Tammy defeat Republican incumbent Mark Kirk and turn the Senate blue. Add your name to stand with her.

Thank you for helping Tammy take back the Democratic Senate majority,

Team Duckworth

From Daily Kos--Stop CNN from denying climate change!

A new study by Media Matters reveals that CNN airs far more fossil fuel advertisements than coverage of climate change -- by a margin of 5-to-1!
That is totally unacceptable.
Sign our petition to CNN: We call on you to reject ads from fossil fuel polluters and climate deniers, and start covering the climate crisis.
Last year was the hottest year on record, smashing the global record set just the year before in 2014. And by April of this year, scientists were already declaring that 2016 will be even hotter.
So instead of reporting on the enormous climate crisis, CNN is airing fossil fuel ads by climate deniers?!
Sign to tell CNN: Stop being a billboard for Big Oil. Report on climate change!
According to the study, in the week following the announcement that 2015 was confirmed as the hottest year on record, CNN aired 57 seconds of climate coverage — compared with more than 12.5 minutes of ads from the American Petroleum Institute. And that doesn’t even include dozens of ads for Koch Industries, which “were not energy-focused but did serve to boost the image of the oil billionaire Koch brothers’ primary corporation.”
Not only is CNN virtually silent on informing the public about the damage being caused by climate change, it is giving a platform to — and legitimizing — the voice of notorious climate deniers like the American Petroleum Institute and the Kochs.
Does CNN simply think climate change is not important? Or are they allowing advertising dollars to actively suppress their climate coverage?
Tell CNN: Do better and report on climate. Inform viewers with comprehensive coverage of climate change, and stop running ads for organizations that deny science.
Keep fighting,
Mara Schechter, Daily Kos
