Individuals bear the costs of speaking out but don't capture the collective benefits for democracy. A classic externality - and one that could doom our system of government.
An excellent question. Where are the Fortune 500 & Wall Street CEOs? Where are the university presidents? Where are the civil society leaders? Not just speaking out specifically in defense of their institutions & democracy, but also about 🇺🇸's global interests? The silence is deafening & shameful.
we are gutting out competitive advantages and the stakeholders of our democracy don't care? what the fuck is wrong with america's elites?

Collins: He announced that plan six weeks ago.
Davidson: Well, at least he's reiterated it

Reupping this piece from when preemptive pardons first came up now that Biden has issued them, explaining recipients have to accept them before they’re effective. joycevance.substack.com/p/preemptive...
Preemptive Pardons?
I think the preemptive pardon issue—the idea that President Biden should use pardons for people who have not been charged yet but may be at risk under the Trump Administration—is a very difficult one ...

Refuse to patronize businesses that (1) disrespect Jimmy Carter - and the law - and (2) seek to ingratiate themselves to the orange shitgibbon & his flying monkeys by raising their flag to full staff before Jan. 28.

If you feel inclined to just give up and tune out right now, this is the most important thing you can read and take to heart. Marc Elias has worked more tirelessly than any human I can think of to actively help save our democracy, and his words here are incredibly important:
"It is productive to plan to stay safe...and sane in a time of uncertainty and insanity. But do you think you will survive that way for four years? Do you really think Trump will spare you because you now show obedience? He won’t."
Now Is the Time for Courage
From Marc | I started Democracy Docket to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy.

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
