Status Quo Level Thing

Melissa Murray is incredible! I’m on my second listen of the book. Am I the only one who gets fired up at parts of this? Despite its beautifully objective premise and delivery, it riles you up. I mean, if you’re paying any f*cking attention to the state of the nation, that is. Great book choice this month!

Here to double the shout out for Where There's Woke. It's a fantastic podcast, and I never wait to listen. Lydia is a brilliant researcher. I have no idea how she does it with three kids.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman argues that the US Constitution was actually a counter-revolutionary coup to constrain democracy rather than protect it." https://pca.st/episode/e4443c99-07ff-4b93-97ce-480f9f111ea4
