Thanks for sharing this. I also recommend Heather Richardson's writings--not just her daily journal, but also her books on republicans and How The South Won the Civil War.
Thanks for the link to Thom Hartman's post. I just read it and subscribed. Actually, I haven't finished reading it yet. The revulsion overcame me and I had to take a break.
Organize Democrats to vote, people! Write postcards, join phonebanks, donate what you can, talk to your sympathetic friends and relations. It's up to *us* to avert any Republican from becoming President, and to take back the House and increase our Senate majority.
I know Elizabeth, it’s hard to read. I’m sure because it’s actually happening around us. Which makes what you say in your 2nd paragraph so important. Thank you for reminding us of the work we need to do to save our democracy.
I have a scarier one. Miles Taylor's new book, "Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy From the Next Trump." He interviewed the people who are planning all this, and they're very open as to what they're doing.
I just ordered that on audible yesterday after seeing his interview on MSNBC. Glad to hear I can continue to scare the crap out of myself. But my thought is I would rather be uncomfortable knowing their strategy and plans, with the hope of informing and waking up many that are not necessarily complacent, but just living their lives and not paying attention while “it happens gradually, and then suddenly” to quote Ernest Hemingway”
I completely agree Michael. I recommend everyone read Thom Hartman’s post today. Linked here....I hope.

Yes, I have read several of her books including that one. It is excellent. I also subscribe to her on Substack. I highly recommend her writings too.
Already pre-ordered the next book. And I had to stop reading Karen's link above but will go back to it once I get rid of the bile that rose.

I had the same experience, Elizabeth. I've kept the tab open to go back to; it's repulsive and really scary.
Holy crap!
Hartmann’s post is about the scariest one ever.

I was wondering if it was a worthwhile purchase. on your say-so, I'll get one.
I'm going to pass, Tom. I've got far, far too many unread books already. Plus, I'm scared enough. But thanks.
Read it first thing today, Karen RN...thanks for posting.
Thank you for the link...that is the scariest article I've yet read. No wonder I have developed alopecia.
Thank hou Karen.
