(Thread) Democracy Awakening
OK. I’m ready with a Mastodon Book Report.
What Heather Cox Richardson does (as in her newsletter) is locate today’s events in historical context.
She opens with: “America is at a crossroads."
But crossroads aren't new. We've been at them before.
She shows how this moment is part of an ongoing struggle between a small group of white people who think that America was founded on principles of white supremacy and should remain that way, and the rest of us.
