The Supreme Court today engaged in an examination of wild hypotheticals without discussing the underlying acts before them - the January 6th coup attempt. They focused on a future very unlikely to occur and ignored the recent past that actually happened. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

Liz Cheney is right. The Supreme Court must decide THE CASE BEFORE IT. A decision that remands the case to the trial court is, on the basis of history, unnecessary. The American people deserve the information that the 1/6 trial will adduce before they vote nytimes.com/2024/04/22/opi…

Unrest at Columbia is driven by legitimate concerns about Gaza situation but also by the irresponsible-unproductive-witch hunt-political hearings conducted by House Republicans. Truth: The Congress types don’t give a damn about the welfare of any students. nytimes.com/live/2024/04/1…

We are doubling down on our fight for fairness.

There is no cavalry coming, no savior —it’s up to all of us to take action—and reject all anti democracy agendas.

Join NDRC in this important work to safeguard our democracy.

⁦Thomas L. Friedman⁩ nails it. Critical parts of his analysis are in some ways the most obvious: Netanyahu and his extremists have to go and Iran must be contained. The comparison to Dresden for Netanyahu government military tactics is, sadly, spot on. nytimes.com/2024/04/10/opi…

These are the stakes for November election. Democratic state legislatures will put in place new laws that protect reproductive rights. Republicans will put bans in place. Trump and his crew will make a national ban a reality. Respect women & their choices. nytimes.com/2024/04/09/us/…

Awful call. Terrible way to end a well played game. Sunday should be awesome. apnews.com/article/2acf58…

Today marks the 56th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King but not the death of the dream. It is time to stop being satisfied/complacent with “progress”. Enough time has passed. It is time for the dream of real equality and true justice to be finally realized-work for it

This is an important book that’s a great read - with some novel approaches. There’s a playlist that goes along with the text for example. It deals with serious issues ALL women - and our nation - must confront in a forthright, compassionate, sometimes humorous way. A must buy.

This hasn’t gotten a ton of attention but it’s absolutely outrageous.

Let’s just make this very clear. Fact: Crystal Mason would not have been charged, convicted or treated this way if she were not black. Her ordeal was designed to discourage other people of color from trying to vote. Ms. Mason was treated disgracefully.

Would the knothead who made this decision have also hired Tokyo Rose a few years ago? Uniquely qualified, both have or had a unique, inside perspective about how to weaken - if not destroy - democracy. apnews.com/article/683aa5…

History teaches us that this approach by the media is essential.

Great to be on Real Time with Bill Maher with Bill Maher. Got to discuss some important topics.

The news of the last few days demonstrates this.

It’s up to us - the American voters.

Five years ago, in 2019, Eric Holder and Barack Obama launched All On The Line with a mission to restore fairness to our elections and democracy. In the years since—with the help of all of you—this movement has accomplished so much. 🧵🔽

A few of these accomplishments include: making the redistricting process more transparent + accessible in states across the country, mobilizing thousands to take action to protect democracy, defending the Voting Rights Act, and achieving the fairest congressional map in 40 years.

We are so grateful to every person who has been a part of the fight for #FairMaps —we are honored to fight alongside you. We have a lot to celebrate, and a lot of work to do—we hope you'll join us in our commitment to the long-term fight for fairness. act.redistrictingaction.org/a/recommit-2024

Yesterday in Alabama, we saw the power of fair maps. The newly drawn-court ordered-congressional map gave Black voters an opportunity to elect a representative of their choice- resulted in a competitive primary and a 130% increase in voter participation👍🏽 nytimes.com/2024/03/04/us/…

1,446 days after leaving a battered capital in disgrace, Donald Trump is once again the standard-bearer of the GOP.
Pretty remarkable.
And sobering.
What would it say about our democracy, the sanctity of elections and the rule of law if he were returned to the presidency?
