Seriously, Ma'am, you need only write three times each week, four at the most. The subscription rate would still be the best around for such informed essays.

I have been thinking about this too....please help see us through the 2024 election and certification process, writing 4-5? times a week. Am praying after Jan. 2025 you'll be able to bump down to 3-4 times a week so you can give some focus on teaching/forming our younger voters about the importance of history in current times on a national level :) Thank you for all you do, Dr. Heather. Please take special care of yourself as you are a national treasure!
Kathy, love your suggestion here! It is so important to teach democracy! What does it mean to live in a democracy/a republic? Did the founders envision what we do today or was their vision more limited (to their times)? How must democracy change as scientific advances modernize our world? What kind of a democracy do we want? How can we protect and promote "a government of the people, by the people, and for the people"? A new national manifesto of democracy needs to be developed and promulgated, taught in the schools and proclaimed from the rooftops, one devoted to true facts and against lies that would undermine and overtake a democracy.
Heather helped Ttmothy Snyder (just back from 10 days in Kiev) launch his book "On Freedom," this week. Five years in the writing. I can't wait to read it. I loved his take in his last book "On Tyranny. :
I had to back off for awhile--I am not joking that worry was making me ill, right about the same time that "Beau of the Fifth Column" stepped back to let his wife, "Belle" take over. I'm consuming a mere fraction of the politics I used to. It's difficult to avoid it all.
Regarding yesterday's attempt on Trump and the comments the MAGA are posting--this rebuttal rings true for me and I'm sure for all of us here: HECK NO, no Democrat wants him martyred! We want him to suffer the most humiliating, landslide of a loss to a woman, and a Black/Asian one as well! Then we want him to sit through trial after trial before being locked up in jail. THAT is what we want.
Miselle, agreed. No martyrdom. I read a post yesterday that suggested it was a put up job to make us forget all the dreck coming out the R camp. One of comments suggested they could've hired someone more competent. Personally, I think this was an older nut job with delusions of grandeur.
Just look at how well Pete Buttigieg explains the desperate and delirious amplifying pet-eating conspiracy theories Trump and Vance try to distract from their unpopular positions at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDkNe1K9IJI
I have told others I would risk my own life to protect people from vigilante "justice" even Lee Harvey Oswald and Trump.
Making him a martyr would betray the system of justice we want to see fairly applied and, like John Wilkes Booth, cost so much good will in the spirit of Lincoln's "...With malice toward none, with charity for all, with the firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds..."
The south that he claimed to act for, suffered so much more from the unnecessary great ill will that act caused. I'd rather a thousand guilty live in prison for up to the rest of their lives than to have one innocent person lost to imperfect justice.
