Southern Progressives

My Take:

I posted this to scare you, this is what Trump denies, wanting a third term, until he does. We continue to try to make sense of what Trump is doing as he tries to “flood the zone” with different issues and topics to keep most of the country on it’s heels.

The primary issue for me is the due process that we all are guaranteed as citizens in this country and when that is denied us, we could all be arrested for what we say and have no ability to defend ourselves. This issue is so clearly defined that Trump is throwing up all other kinds of issues (like the above cap) to make us take our eye off the ball. But protester are clearly focused on it, and won’t let it go, because if we lose due process, we lose our rights.

I posted my three favorite people I love the read, Heather Cox Richardson, and Joyce Vance. Richardson will discuss a current issue and then give you the history that led up to that event help us to understand why it is happening and where it came from. Vance will go deep in the weeds of legal issues and explain to you both the history of legal decisions and help make sense of why that particular decision was made. I always include Kareem Abdul Jabar’s articles because it covers so many topics and his writing is so thoughtful.

Thanks for reading.
