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.

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 .
Wonderful Zoom conference with Heather Cox Richardson and Katie Couric! Hope they make recording available 🙏
“Many books tell us what has happened over the last five years. Democracy Awakening explains how we got to this perilous point, what our history really tells us about ourselves, and what the future of democracy can be.”
Every American should read this book!
