MAGA HYMC OPRT October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 “America Needs a Mass Movement—Now,” writes Davud Brooks in The Atlantic. “Without one, America may sink into autocracy for decades.” Option One: DON’T READ IT. (It’s long.) If you don’t, you can’t feel bad about choosing not to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Which is Option 2. For example: Join today’s weekly 3pm Indivisible call and gather your friends for the Saturday protest nearest you. A turnout of millions won’t be enough to turn the tide. Not remotely. But it’s an indispensable part of the process, showing the world — and ourselves — that resistance to fascism still runs deep and will ultimately prevail. (Did you take a minute Tuesday to see these signs? They drive home the point.) MAGA Versus Themselves. This minute won’t persuade any MAGAs . . . indeed, mocking them just fans fury. (Case most on point: Look what Obama’s exquisite White House Correspondent’s Dinner performance likely led to.) So don’t share it with your MAGA friends, who are neither fools nor “deplorables.” They’ve just been conned into something deeply unAmerican. HYMC I’m hoping it might triple again from here — who knows? But I finally sold an eighth of my IRA-tax-sheltered shares yesterday at $8.62. Maybe I should have sold more, but you know me and my happy gene. OPRT Will they really earn “$1.10-$1.30” this year, as they have said? I don’t know, but at $5.50, it’s selling at 5X projected earnings. And yesterday’s announcement . . . Oportun Adds Additional Warehouse Capacity, Reduces Warehouse Financing Costs and Pays Down Additional Higher Cost Corporate Debt . . . suggested they are on track. If I didn’t already have so much, I’d buy more.
