Asking the right question & listening to the silence often results in a pause that reveals what’s missing: clarity, alignment, intention. Asking leaders to define #leadership—and then truly listening—unlocks the space to build it with intention. zurl.co/iYrXM

Modern authoritarians seldom cancel elections, because they prefer the veneer of democratic choice that voting provides, and because they can tilt the playing field toward themselves. “No one likes an election better than Vladimir Putin,” the Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias told me.

North Carolina Is the Canary in the Election Coal Mine

Americans don’t have to imagine what attempts to subvert an election could look like, because it’s already happening in one state.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality.

Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

We have had a lot of success fighting against Trump and election deniers in court. I am confident that won't change. What I worry about are the pillars of democracy that can't be fixed in court as well as the weaponization of DOJ against Trumps political opponents and free and fair elections.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”
