Join us every Thursday morning to hear fellow Democrats share good news and recommendations. What good things have you seen or read or heard or experienced lately? What’s On Your Mind lets you connect with friends and influence progressive leaders in the community, week after week..

Short Read of the Week for February 10, 2022

In this week’s discussion we talked about eight articles, all unusually relevant and interesting, but in the end narrowed our first-place recommendation down to one that you should read if you don’t read anything else:

The Exploitation of 'Freedom' in America
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/04/opinion/ugly-freedom-discrimination-racism-sexism.html
[our copy here]

We also recommend this frightening but real report from a county not too far away - close enough, in fact, that some of us have first-hand knowledge of the people and places involved:

California county on track to be run by militia-aligned group
https://news.yahoo.com/northern-california-county-track-run-110051297.html
[our copy here]

None of us can make real progress on solving problems like these if we work in isolation, but just a little effort in a group of like-minded people can make a surprising difference. You could start with us next week in our third-Thursday Deep Read of the Month meeting, in which we will discuss Book banning in Texas: Books are pulled off shelves in record numbers. Will you join us?
