My plea to Democrats:
"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on."

Here’s a picture of the McMinn Co. Courthouse in Athens, TN. In August 1946, the people of the county, led by WWII vets, rose up against corrupt local officials here in what became known as the Battle of Athens.

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."
