Well, the champagne stayed in the cupboard. We had good turnout anyway.

I reviewed data from the election. Harris did about 3 points better in the battleground states where we put our money and efforts. But the national trend was about 6 points against us.

I have begun a Substack. My first posts will be on Why Harris Lost, or, perhaps, These Weren’t the Reasons Harris Lost. (Only one post is up, on Harris and Gaza.) I won’t repeat them here.

Naomi handed out copies of the Indivisible 2.0 Guide. We also distributed a list of our personal media subscriptions, which will grow and shrink and a worksheet, Helping Everyone Find a Home in the Opposition/Resistance. Please distribute to your friends, or link.

We have decided to reduce our commitment to hosting future meetings. Janice Weingrod is picking up the baton and will host our next meeting, which will be Sunday, January 12. We will avoid scheduling meetings on the same days as other local Indivisible groups, so that people can attend as many as needed. “My name is Andy L., and I have been a Resistance member for seven years and eleven months.”

There was widespread feeling that these meetings help us stay sane as we prepare for the next battles. Please contact one of us, or Janice, for her address, which will not be published here. In the meantime, she has an exhibit at the local knitting store.
