The article cited here is worth a read by everyone. It discusses the types of things quietly happening in lesser known parts of the country, that, taken together pose a grave threat to our future as a democracy.

If terrorists are the very worst of humanity, then aid workers, like those from World Central Kitchen, are the very best. That they are being killed by IDF actions at the rate of more than one a day since the start of this conflict is tragic, and in this case unacceptable.

Please, take a few minutes to watch this. The speaker is a trained healthcare professional, who also happens to be an AZ state senator. She explains to her colleagues the real life implications of their actions regarding reproductive health for women who want to have babies. VOTE

Worth everyone taking the time to watch, and remember a time not so long ago when more of our politicians were good people, who spoke about big ideas from the heart.

“Again I say: The fact that Mike Pence, Mark Milley, Mark Esper, John Kelly, and so many of the men and women who worked for Trump believe he is a threat to democracy ought to be the first and last pieces of context in Every. Single. Story.” plus.thebulwark.com/p/mike-pence-w…

Fox guest: I believe in rule of law, I'm a former prosecutor. Biden totally cooperated with the DOJ versus what Trump did, who had to be subpoenaed. This is not apples to oranges, it's apples to dump trucks
