An angry population, weaponized rhetoric, revisions of history, consolidations of power--these are Richardson's topics from the beginning of the United States to now, and that long view might prove critical.

For all that the news these days is faster and more furious than ever—and that much of it is horrifying—it is clear to me that those of us eager to protect our democracy are becoming a force to be reckoned with. These Letters from an American began in September 2019 as a response to questions people asked about the confusion swirling around us. At the time, we had just heard about a whistleblower complaint that then–acting director of national intelligence Joseph Maguire was illegally withholding from Congress. Then–House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff (D-CA) had written an angry letter to Maguire demanding that he hand over the complaint, as the law required, and suggested the complaint was likely about an important figure in the Trump White House. We were all trying to piece together what on earth was going on.

“Family lunch, some shopping, a Christmas tree lighting: President Joe #Biden's day out in Nantucket”

His first stop was just a couple doors down from the restaurant at #Nantucket Books, where first lady Jill Biden and daughter Ashley were already browsing.

“Can’t come without going to the #Bookstore,” the president said as he ducked inside. “We’ve got a tradition.”

He left about 20 minutes later, carrying a copy of “#DemocracyAwakening by #HeatherCoxRichardson

“Must Read” is over used, but #DemocracyAwakening is an important book for all US citizens to read. I think of myself as well-informed on #USPolitics, yet I learned so much about how we got here.

Heather Cox Richardson's new book, #DemocracyAwakening , https://theguardian.com/books/2023/oct/07/democracy-awakening-review-heather-cox-richardson-us-history , explores the US's fragile democracy and the high stakes for 2024.

She's done many interviews about her book, for example https://youtube.com/watch?v=v5MI5VkcoAk . & She has a sub stack: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com .

I'm starting to think that reading her substack and book are the best ways to better understand what's at stake in #Election2024 .
