Sometimes You Have to Admit You’re Only Human

The latest ROD site update:

Well, folks, it’s official: the Events section of Rescue Our Democracy has been retired. We didn’t want to do it, but let’s be real—it takes a small army to keep that thing current. Right now, that “army” looks a lot like one tired person with a keyboard, a caffeine habit, and a questionable sense of time.

Oh, and about that “vision”? Yeah. That’s funny, because I can barely see straight these days—literally. But even with blurry eyes, I can still see the big picture. This work matters, and it’s worth doing right.

What are you getting at?

Between maintaining the website, writing articles, tracking political chaos (sorry, “current events”), building state-by-state district tables, creating educational PDFs, and designing all the graphics—it’s a lot. Even democracy has limits, and apparently, so do I.

Until we grow our team of contributors, editors, and volunteers, Rescue Our Democracy will focus on what it does best: education and editorials grounded in fact. We’ll keep breaking down complex issues, connecting the dots others ignore, and keeping the conversation real.

Ok…so what’s this mean?

This doesn’t mean we’ve given up on events forever. It just means we’re putting our energy where it makes the biggest impact for now. When more hands join the work (hint, hint—yours could be one), we’ll expand again.

For now, Rescue Our Democracy remains a home for truth-tellers, learners, and doers who believe that facts still matter—and that democracy is still worth fighting for. Preferably without losing our collective sanity in the process.

So stay tuned, stay active, and maybe send Dr Pepper.
