They Tried to Kill Me (Again) As I write this email, I’m tired. Why? Well, it’s not because I ran a marathon yesterday. It’s because I woke up to a SWAT team pounding on my door at 3:00 AM. It was alarming to say the least, but it wasn’t my first rodeo. After slipping out…
It’s a Cult, and They’re Gearing Up for a Holy War There are so few ways to actually justify voting for Donald Trump, and some are definitely stupider than others. One that really makes us gag is when people say Donnie was sent by God. There are a lot of words we like to toss…
It Could Happen Again Three years ago today, Americans watched in horror as a violent mob stormed the Capitol. Our temple of democracy was violated that day. World leaders were forced to take cover as thousands of so-called “patriots” trashed offices, raised confederate flags, assaulted police officers, and attempted to hang the Vice President. Since…
Trump’s Coming For months now, we’ve watched GOP “candidates” emerge and participate in worthless debates. We’ve watched as state courts remove (and attempt to remove) Trump from the primary ballot. We’ve watched the orange man get charged in four criminal cases. But the truth is, none of this really matters. Trump’s coming. And he’s not…
Project 2025 This is real. This is what he is going to try to do. We should believe it because he and his allies are saying it out loud. Any sane, normal campaign would run from this at lightning speed. Yet Trump and his coterie of sycophants are embracing it. That should tell you something….
Happy Holidays to Everyone Except Him Happy holidays! I know most of you don’t know me as a man full of merry and joy. I’m the guy who sets Mar-a-lago on fire and makes Trump’s holiday meals quieter than church. But really, this is my favorite time of year. I get to cook for my…
The Path Forward I hope you’re taking the holiday season to regroup and take some time with your friends and family. It’s important, especially when we think about the fight ahead. I know you know this, but I’m going to be repeating it a lot over the course of the next year: 2024 is the year…
My Favorite Moment From 2023 I’m sure you can’t wait for 2023 to be over. I know I am looking forward to 2024. But looking back, we can all be proud of what the pro-democracy movement accomplished in 2023. My favorite moment? I think it was when I realized all those reasons we had for…
We Don’t Do Membership Cards. When you’re a part of something as important as our movement, sometimes it’s nice having a card that says it. That way, every time you open your wallet, you’ll be reminded that you’re playing a major role in defending the future of American democracy. But let’s be real. It’s kind…
These Videos Helped Fight Fascism in 2023 We’re nearing the end of the year, and we want to celebrate our favorite year of video-making to date. That means asking The Lincoln Project community to vote in our inaugural award competition, The Abes! Today’s category is “Fighting Fascism!” After Trump’s year of praising murderous dictators, attempts…
There is no time for complacency.
There is no time for living room activism. Every day must be spent asking ourselves if we’re doing our part, if we’re doing enough to ensure that the grand idea called America continues.
Thank you for joining us in this fight.
