Short Read of the Week for March 4, 2021

In this morning’s Short Read of the Week meeting, we discussed six articles, shown here and at https://tinyurl.com/TillcoDems-short-reads, three of which had to do with recently intensifying Republican efforts to make voting more difficult for traditional Democratic constituencies. We chose to spotlight this edition of Robert Hubbell’s daily newsletter for its incisive comments on that subject:

Today’s Edition: Voting Rights Under Attack

Be sure to read all the way through it. Hubbell’s words at the end about the value of supporting the DNC are particularly valuable.

Our second choice was this NBC News report on President Biden’s progress in undoing one of the most horrifying and immoral acts of the Trump administration:

Biden administration will let migrant families separated under Trump reunite inside U.S.

Good news is so often underreported. Let’s do what we can to get the word out about this!
