[LWVNM Action] Watch "Politics Chat, April 1, 2025" on YouTube

[Meredith Machen]

Heather Cox Richardson’s civics lesson on how government by the people
under the Constitution should work. If you are wondering why people need to
work together for our democracy and why rallies like the one on Saturday,
April 5, are worth participating in (Handsoff2025.com), listen to the end
of the podcast. Perhaps this is her most important podcast for League
members thus far . You can go to last 10- 20 minutes.

Her daily letters to Americans are available for free on her website of
that name if you prefer to read. She reminds folks that though you will be
asked for a credit card, you can just ignore that. The point is to get as
many people as possible involved in what’s going on. It’s so tempting to
ignore the daily onslaughts to our democracy,  but our voices are being
heard as witnessed by the election results yesterday. She also identifies
trustworthy news sources and reporters. In a few words, she explains how
using the Alien Enemies Act to justify removal of immigrants is not
deportation because there is no war with Venezuela and no connection
whatsoever with El Salvador.
Please spread the awareness of her remarkable service documenting and
contextualizing American history in the making.
