I've worked with nonprofits and have learned a bit about using AI tools in my own consulting. In this article, I suggest how nonprofits—especially smaller ones—can use AI as a force multiplier to support activities such as fundraising, research, writing, and planning. www.ddmcd.com/managing-tec...

PRESSURE is a decent flick made especially interesting in that most of the incidents it recounts actually happened. #films #history #WWII www.ddmcd.com/movies/press...

This is a good explanations of how Republicons have been captured by "white christian nationalists" who lack empathy and behave in hateful and cruel ways. While we might still be a "decent country," that is NOT the image being transmitted to the world. www.contrariannews.org/p/america-is...

I pray every night that he's gone by the time I wake up. I just don't understand why the Republican Congress still isn't speaking out ,between his Russian ass kissing and all the taxpayers money and grifting he and his family are doing it is beyond my comprehension.
I gave up on The Washington Post as a reliable news source long ago, but I have to admit that the title of this recent article, referring to the differences between Zelensky and the Felon In Chif as a "feud," is positively mind-boggling. A "feud"? www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Regarding Question 2 on the #Virginia ballot: A “Yes” vote: 1) Repeals the discriminatory section of the constitution banning legal recognition of same-sex couples; 2) Affirms marriage rights regardless of race (Loving v. Virginia), sex or gender (Obergefell v. Hodges); and 3) Bans child marriage.
“I don’t like X, Y or Z candidates / I don’t like either party. Why should I bother to vote?” Because we have constitutional amendment referendum questions on reproductive rights, marriage equality and voting rights. Those are Yes or No questions on civil rights. We either protect them or we don’t.

A new app lets you find out who’s behind the political mailers you receive, which comes in handy for people who don’t want to be manipulated by self-interested billionaires. Learn all about it from @juddlegum.bsky.social who created the “paidforby” app. joycevance.substack.com/p/paid-for-b...
It's difficult to trust electronic messages these days. We must always be on the lookout for possible fakes. That's harder as technology continues to improve & becomes available to everyone, including the bad guys—as well as the guys who just want to sell us stuff! www.ddmcd.com/managing-tec...
I've updated my review of Arendt's book "Eichmann In Jerusalem" which includes thoughts comparing ICE and Nazi deportations & forced emigration of Jews before & during WWII. The comparison isn't perfect, but someone is going to do a book someday about such ICE actions. www.ddmcd.com/books/eichmann

Buy a banned book. Read it. Give it away to anyone else who wants to read it. Repeat.
This year’s #BannedBooksWeek coincides with ALA’s official 150th anniversary. To mark the occasion, ALA has released a list of the 150 most challenged books documented from 1990, when ALA's Office for Intellectual Freedom began tracking book challenges, through 2025. ala150.org/150books

H.Res.935 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Impeaching Peter B. Hegseth, Secretary of Defense of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress share.google/A26IXmXAju03...
Something unprecedented happened during my visit to the Gulf. For the first time in 20 years in Congress, I was denied entry to U.S. military facilities and even meetings with military leaders. An order from Hegseth - that applies to both parties - to hide the cost of the war.
