A Mixed Bag for Democracy
from MOMocrats Hosted by MOMocrats
The wheels of justice grind slowly, but eventually they get there, and on Tuesday, Donald Trump was arraigned in New York on 34 felony counts. That night in Wisconsin, Janet Protasiewicz won her special election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and progressive Brandon Johnson was elected mayor of Chicago. These are good results for democracy, say MOMocrats Karoli and Donna Schwartz Mills - especially since our processes remain under siege by a Republican Party that is now blatantly authoritarian. This was in evidence on Thursday, when three Democratic state legislators were essentially put on trial by the GOP super-majority in the Tennessee House, for supporting their constituents' demonstration for gun reform. The two young Black lawmakers were ultimately expelled in an act that was watched by the world. The MOMocrats discussed this, new revelations about Clarence Thomas, and more.
