1/ So...yesterday on “History Matters” I discussed why impeachments are important—besides conviction

Going to cling to that now

They create a record of events.
They construct a narrative.
They (in this case) reveal that record & narrative to the public

2/ As hard as it feels to get past this verdict, it’s important to remember that the facts & implications of the 1/6 attack matter.

It’s important to remember that a president SHOULD NOT be above the law.

It’s important to recognize the threats to democracy that are before us.
3/ It’s important to dedicate ourselves to being aware of anti-democratic threats & to defend democracy.

It’s important to defend our right to vote which is already under attack.

It’s important for “us” to be a big inclusive “us”—unlike the vision of the last administration.
4/ I’m feeling temporarily defeated right now.

Temporarily.

Today.

Tomorrow we bolster ourselves for what’s to come — and head out strong.

I apologize if this sounds hokey.
It’s what I need to say & hear.
Maybe some of you do too.
