As a subscriber reminded me in an email yesterday: “Love is one of the superpowers of the universe.” She’s right, of course. More powerful even than “anti-hate.” "So today we’ll show our love for this messy country of ours through our positive, pro-democratic, hopeful actions. What an honor! What a joy! "What a superpower. How lucky we are to have it." -- Jessica Craven; Chop Wood, Carry Water, September 7, 2023 •  FULTON COUNTY HEARING LIVESTREAM Q. What was better than Perry Mason, Judge Judy, and most tv and movie courtroom dramas?   A.  The livestream of Thursday's hearing in Fulton County, Georgia regarding two of the coup plotters, Ken Chesebro and Sydney Powell. It had none of the fireworks or histrionics I'd dreaded; instead I could hear the attorneys's presentations and the judge's thoughtful questions and follow the discussion and procedure. I loved it and am eager to watch other coup-related hearings and trials. I highly recommend you watch, too. Here's the link to the coverage; the judge enters to start the hearing at about 16 minutes. -- Laurie Caplan, INCO activist -- Democracy Docket, September 6, 2023, from a comprehensive resource page focused on Trump's two election subversion related indictments.  INSIGHTS    "Ultimately, the best approach if you don’t want to be tried with someone is not to commit crimes with them." -- Joyce Vance, attorney and author of Civil Discourse newsletter Indivisible defends democracy by opposing authoritarianism, bigotry, and corruption.
