Cynicism is a choice. “Just doing my job” is a choice. "Democracy is a choice. "Defending democracy is a duty that appears unbidden when Americans least expect it. Every generation before ours has discharged that duty honorably. Ours cannot be the one to falter." -- Robert Hubbell, Today's Edition, April 2, 2024 FACTS TO COUNTER GOP MISINFORMATION Among other actions, DNWSG weekly counters GOP lies with accurate information.  PROTECTING THE SYSTEM OF JUSTICE "“The Nation is witnessing the determined delegitimization of both its Federal and State judiciaries and the systematic dismantling of its system of justice and Rule of Law by a single man — the former President of the United States,” retired judge J. Michael Luttig said on X concerning Trump’s threats and insults directed at the courts. “Ultimately, however, it is the responsibility of the entire nation to protect its courts and judges, its Constitution, its Rule of Law, and America’s Democracy from vicious attack, threat, undermine, and deliberate delegitimization at the hands of anyone so determined.” In other words, judges must clamp down on unacceptable conduct, and it is the voters’ responsibility to not to hand him a get-out-of-jail-free card by electing him to office." -- Jennifer Rubin, The Washington Post, April 3, 2024 INCO INSIGHTS "A) Life, maan . . . B) . . . life. A) It is so crazy—let me tell you: if you saw it in a movie, you would not believe it. You know why? BECAUSE IT HAS NO PLOT." -- David Mamet, American playwright Sign listing towns in Maine. Photo by Peter Ralston. Indivisible defends democracy by opposing authoritarianism, bigotry, and corruption.
