@ethicalfocus An extraordinarily moving narrative of love and remembrance. Simply beautiful, Gregg.

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@egross400 @JoJoFromJerz Yes! Me, too.

@egross400 @chooladog Elements in the 60s counterculture promoted explicit craziness, but the underpinnings of democratic structures were never as imperiled as today.

@DrJoePalau Gas prices may also do in Biden's re-election. For many Americans, the price at the pump is a major indicator of a president's success or failure. Paying more to support Ukrainians as they fight for their lives means less than cheap gas.
We will lose democracy at the pump.

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@egross400 Republicans are masters of expressing their racism indirectly by word and gesture as they signal their base.

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

The Republicans' refusal to honor Kentanji Jackson's conformation speaks to their fundamental character. But we didn't need this act of rudeness to know that. It is also a rejection of honoring American democracy. But we know that, too.

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@nathaliejacoby1 Yes!!

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

The wife of a Supreme Court Justice cavorts with and applauds those seeking to destroy democracy. Do we need more evidence that the lunatic fringe has gone mainstream?

My review of Nadine Strossen's book on hate speech has been published on "Books for Readers." a lovely site founded and managed by Meredith Sue Willis, a novelist and professor at NYU. For those who missed it elsewhere, you can find my review at:

Putin's naked aggression in Ukraine is horrid. But it may cause those enchanted by authoritarianism a jolt as to what authoritarianism truly looks like. As such, it may rekindle a commitment to liberal democracy.,

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@ethicalfocus Important,timely and marvelous statement!

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

Ukraine may prove to be Putin's Afghanistan.

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@egross400 Family and friends! Bring em all on!

[Joe Chuman @joechuman]

@egross400 Yes! I continue to fret that those who can speak out avert their gaze. Democracy is in dire peril!!!

I recently had a very engaging interview with Nadine Strossen, former president of the national ACLU, on her book "Hate: Why We Should Resist It With Free Speech, Not Censorship." I also wrote a review of the book on my Substack page. The link is:https://t.co/0zC4ObLEwV
