I wrote something today about Biden and his visit to a black church in Philadelphia and the managed interview he gave to local Black radio station WURD

I want to explain how Project 2025 is essential to the Trump campaign and the only way to understand it. But first, let's do something the press refuses to do in 2024: Take Trump's threats seriously. Think about the core message of his first post-1/6 rally, delivered deliberately in Waco, Texas.

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

African Americans will tell you that this country has never been fully a democracy, and white people are about to find out how the little democracy left is about to go up in a puff of smoke should Trump get back in the White House.

The institutions of US democracy are hanging by a thread, and the Supreme Court just frayed it. I cannot emphasize this enough: the 2024 election is effectively an up-or-down vote on Constitutional democracy. All else is secondary, because democracy and rule of law are how we address other issues.

I know no one "on here" thinks this but if you think that the man who said ""I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" won't use his power if he becomes president to kill a rival or even an annoyance.. just wait.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

Oh, folks. This is so sad. Trump: "I didn't have sex with a porn star." He's not answering questions. He's blatantly blatantly lying. And Biden isn't coming back strongly enough.

The moderators have lost control. Why did Bash ask Biden about states with legal abortion, as if to prop up Trump's "kill the baby" lie?

I had the pleasure of meeting Rev Lawson when I was in grad school at Vanderbilt. His expulsion from Vanderbilt was a huge catalyst in the sit in movement in Nashville and almost caused Vanderbilt Divinity school to split because professors wanted to resign because of his expulsion

The passing of Rev James Lawson is a moment to remember how many of the important figures of the Civil rights movement are dying at the moment of some of the greatest rollbacks of the racial equality in America.
