Upcoming Events - With Dems, Monthly Live Political Discussion - RSVP Today
Tues, March 21st 1pm ET - With Democrats Things Get Better. This presentation is important for everyone in the Hopium Chronicles community to see
I want to thank those who’ve caught my recent interview with youth activist Victor Shi, a new engaging podcast with Reed Galen of the Lincoln Project, our “Getting Louder” event with MeidasTouch, Courier Newsroom, Resolute Square and Deep State Radio, and our Markers for Democracy event Tuesday night with Robert Hubbell and Bill Kristol.
Access to these kinds of live events and discussions is going to be an essential part of the Hopium Chonicles experience.
Each month our subscribers will have access to two live events with me - my With Democrats Things Get Better presentation and a monthly live political briefing and discussion. In April we will roll out a live interview show with leading elected officials and folks making things happen in politics. Been hosting discussions like this for more than twenty years, and am excited to bring them to the new community we are building here.
We have a bunch of events on tap over the next few weeks. If you miss live recordings will always be here and my YouTube channel so you can catch them when convenient for you.
Friday, March 17th, 1pm ET - Hopium Chronicles Paid Subscriber Political Briefing and Hang Out With Simon. Learn more, RSVP here.
Tues, March 21st, 1pm ET - With Democrats Things Get Better - This is my most important presentation, and its new, fresh and updated each time. This is an open, public showing so feel free to invite others you think might be interested. Lots of Hopium in this deck so do try to catch it. Learn more, RSVP here.
Tues, March 28th, 1pm ET – My Monthly Political Briefing and Discussion - Each month I do a live political briefing and discussion. Usually open with about 12-15 minutes of comments and then take questions for the next 45 minutes or so. You can watch live on my YouTube channel or RSVP here for Zoom.

Last Night was really good, Simon! And Bill Kristol is, amazingly, certainly a part of the solution (no matter how much I have a hard time processing how far he took us into this morass before course correcting SOMEWHAT). One tender, positive critique, offered with the experience of an art student accustomed to such review (which you will be able to do with time and review of past video): talk less. You can breathe between ideas and allow for some things to simply sink in. We will all still be there with you!
I also was thrilled to attend last night’s discussion (Link: https://www.youtube.com/live/SE8cChmlyeQ?feature=share) which I plan to share widely in NY-19. We are energized here in NY-19, and last night’s discussion in its entirety is wonderful but Simon’s closing comments were so inspirational and dynamic, I will clip his concluding thoughts from last night (1:10:11 to 1:15:46) and share with my networks, again and again. The entire evening’s discussion was great, and these 5 minutes will be my marching orders for the future. I noted that of the 700 people who signed up, well over 400 were on the Zoom call from six different co-organizations, an incredible turnout and joint endeavor. There were 500 or more comments in the chat, starting off with introductions and locations of attendees, then the usual comments and complaints: Biden and Willow!, why isn’t Merrick Garland doing more?, where are the indictments?, the latest outrage in Congress! Etc. A dramatic shift began towards the wrap up when the chat turned to: Thank you all for a great conversation, etc. Then Simon let us have it with those last 5 minutes and Boom! The chat became Yes! We can do it! Thank you Simon! Simon is right! I agree! It was as if I could see hundreds of attendees clapping and standing and hollering in homes across the country. Simon knows how to get a crowd energized, even a crowd on Zoom. Thank you Simon for showing us the way.
