Biden and Harris need to provide protection funds for people harassed defending democracy. I would call that, we have your back.

Jim, don’t hesitate to contact your local police about the recent threat to your life. It’s important for you to do that. On another note,one of our colleagues, Jack Hopkins, put out an excellent article recently concerning some of the self protective actions we can take going forward. I found it very informative and wanted to share that because it’s a topic that came up this evening in the live session and you have also started to address similar issues.

Thank you for everything that you do, you are greatly appreciated.

Let us know if you need private protection.

I wonder, will any of the maga women in congress wake up now that they have been summarily shut out of leadership roles. For the first time in two decades, no women will lead house committees. Of all the sycophants the mango Mussolini has nominated, not one is any of the Black men who stumped for him. Are they seeing the reality yet.

This: "What I fail to understand about Joe Biden and his administration is the prioritizing of the optics of a “peaceful transfer of power” over defending American citizens"

I think he’s so stuck in the traditions of the past. In fact, I think the entire Democratic Party is as well. They’re completely unprepared for the paradigm that we’re entering right now.

Your posts inspires me to observe and reflect that I feel gratitude for having exchanged with and read here and elsewhere so many good, intelligent, idealistic, caring, noble, varied people with purpose, who believe in the Constitution and the experiment we engaged in. Had it not been for this crisis many of us would not have had the opportunity to have met and appreciated each other, and democracy. All that energy should still focus on whar we expected and trusted in, persist trying to keep it, rebuild it, first in our minds, then somewhere, if not here in the Old USA. Keep writing, it is clarifying, focusing us back on the north star.

Perfectly stated and clear as the sky. Did you send him your post? He and Harris should read and act on it.
