Seeking healthier places to commune with others. Hoping we can keep our democracy. Worried we can’t.

I challenge anyone to say it better than Fani Willis.#FaniWillis #Trump
Judge McAfee opened up a Pandora’s box by allowing a public interrogation of Wade/Willis. It’s a spectacle that conflates the propriety of their relationship and the legitimacy of the #Trump RICO case. With his permission, McAfee let the Trump legal team abuse his court room with an irrelevant side show and destroy the reputations of the 2 black attorneys in charge of the most important criminal case against Trump. The repercussions could be catastrophic for our #Democracy and country.

"The Supreme Court put on an institutional display that showed how little the justices actually know about elections and indeed federalism, which is shocking to have to say, but there you have it."

~ David Kurtz

Morning Memo

Response:
1. Get folks registered to vote
2. Convince nonvoters to vote
3. Encourage mail in voting
4. Join a phone bank to beg folks to vote
5. Show up at school board meetings to keep #KochNetwork shills out.
6. Write letters to members of Congress opposing tax evasion, privatization of public education, voter suppression, gerrymandering, voter roll purges
7. Once registered, regularly confirm you remain registered
8. Get the young habituated to voting. It's their future at risk.

I’m having a moment. Since I deleted my Twitter account, I haven’t looked back. My mental health has improved. I have all those hours back in my life! Then someone texts me a David Rothkopf post like this and I miss it. Now that he’s reposting Scarborough, David should dump it too. It’s like having a phantom limb. I have to remind myself that Twitter is dead and gone. #Twitter #davidrothkopf #Biden
Take on SCOTUS “hearing” today. Justices were united in their determination to prevent states from predetermining presidential elections. Constitutional questions were batted around like a kitty playing with a ball of yarn. The hearing was irrelevant to them. CO will lose. The court will not provide guidance on what constitutes insurrection or any guardrails for protecting democracy other than elections. The buck has been passed.

I'm honored to be having a conversation with author Lisa Belkin on her latest book Genealogy of a Murder on Tuesday, February 6th at 6:00 PM EST.
