Although the ceremony takes place in Oslo on 10 December, the Prize will be announced on 9 October, 2026 – just under a month before our November Midterm Elections.
Imagine how inspiring this would be to Americans all across the nation! That we might rise up, take to the streets peacefully and protect polling sites throughout the country, ensuring fair elections!
It's been a long time since I considered myself a Catholic, but even I am shocked at news that the Trump administration is threatening the pope. I'm old enough to remember Catholic priests publicly denying Communion to John Kerry and Joe Biden over their stances on reproductive freedom. But neither of them would have ever even considered threatening the pope. I also remember a lot of lectures about how you can't be a "cafeteria Catholic" and pick and choose which church teachings you believed. Someone needs to tell JD Vance, who has a book coming out about being a Catholic.
I called Congressman Raskin and Senators Alsobrooks and Van Hollen to say NO money for ICE or this illegal war. I also said that Trump is not in touch with reality and needs to be removed one way or another. I'm writing postcards to NC voters.
Trump is indeed a failed president and the Democratic Party should now begin the midterm campaign against all MAGA contenders for political office, and appointees by Donald Trump for any position. If the Republicans have so much money for these races make them spend it starting now.
Did my first phone banking for Virginia's Vote YES campaign last night and it was fun! It's all done thru laptop or tablet so no use of your phone/number at all. Give it a try!
*The People of Minneapolis* have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. That award would be beautiful, imho – and highly deserved!

(Yes, I’m well aware, that in his own deeply troubled mind, Trump believes he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize simply because he *didn’t* nuke Iran.)
Simon-this was one of your best. Thank you for all this-
Thank you, Simon, for a great talk last night.

Just a heads up, legacy media is starting right in on the Republicans' "rehabilitate the GOP/Trump" plans, with this laughable "article" trying to make it seem like Republicans are doing well: https://www.newsweek.com/gop-midterm-polling-boost-donald-trump-approval-rating-11798723
I mention this because inevitably our side tends to get all panicked whenever they see stuff like this.

Thank you. You give me so much hope and I learn so much. Keep up the fight.
Best talk ever, Simon. Thank you for bringing clarity and focus to this community.
