If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Today is National Read a Book Day. I feel like every day going forward needs to be National Read a Book Day in the U.S. if there’s anything we could use more of in this country, it’s book reading.

What is the future of democracy in America? Is there a future for democracy in the U.S.?

These were some of the questions tackled last night at The American Academy in Berlin when we heard from George Packer, Anne Applebaum, and Jeffrey Goldberg, from The Atlantic, moderated by Daniel Benjamin.
