I love it! Brilliant! A perfect way to start the morning, with the option for deeper dives as time permits later/throughout the day. Thank you!

***Anand, thank you.

***Have you heard about the gradual dismantling of FDIC? I've read we need to start taking action to make transfers. They have stopped informing the public as to what banks are in trouble, which has been a customary practice. This is info regular people should hear about now. It's all in Project 2025.

Anand, I just wanted to thank you for all you are doing for our country. Your Substack is my favorite, for one, because it is clear where your heart is. I’ve been profoundly impressed with you since the first time I heard you speak on MSNBC and I, like you, have been very upset about the oligarchy (we’ve had one for a long time, just hey just weren’t so blatant about it in the past) for much longer than most. I heard you say recently you thought your book “Winners Take All” didn’t get people’s attention but you are wrong. It absolutely resonated with people like me and it will be looked at as a historical sign of the times. Keep up the solid deep analysis of this shit-show as we all try to get our country out of the hands of the spoiled toddlers and selfish bastards.

Yeah, it looks like the archive link there isn't working any more — apologies! Going to pull it and we'll dig up something else.

A pretty good alternative, I think, is a series that Psychology Today had on political communication in relationships, Start here:

I like it! Plenty of pithy deeper dives for when there’s time, good resources to explore, and a quick morning read that doesn’t make me want to go back to bed. Glad to hear Anat will be back later this week. I’ve been quoting her from her last appearance ever since. 🙏🏼

I love the new structure - Big Thought, Small Step, & Deep Breath. Short, tight, digestible, with options to go deeper if and when you could. Thank you!

I absolutely love these!! Such a balm to receive clear help on real steps to take towards finding our power and solidarity in these perilous historical times we are in. Thank you so much Anand. Keep this pattern going. Can you or anyone help me with concrete steps towards forming coalitions of shared interests with citizens of all leanings and locales across our great country? Thanks.

I like this Morning Briefing format, as a quick way to grounded and focused for the day ahead. Thank you for all you do!

I like the idea that someone else made, that every time trump tells a lie in tonight's speech, all Democrats and independents in the room stand up with a placard that says L I E

I am so grateful for The.Ink and all the work the team is doing. Today I clicked on the link to read Resources for Talking to Conservatives – Facts & strategies for approaching these discussions

and A Guide to Talking to Trump Supporters (The Guardian) and the links didn't work. The blog pages didn't exist.
