Description

Center for Media Democracy’s Matthew Cunningham-Cook is back on LegalAF to talk to Court Accountability Action’s Lisa Graves about CMD’s new report on how the Musk/Trump playbook of destruction was pioneered in North Carolina where mega-donor Art Pope was given levers of power to wreak havoc on public policy. They also discuss how North Carolinians pushed back through Reverend Barber’s leadership of the silo-busting Moral Mondays movement, which shows a path forward for unity in response to repression, and how making progress on policies that make a difference in people’s lives can fuel progress.

Just finished watching the 1961 movie Judgement at Nuremberg, the post WWII trials of German judges accused of enabling Nazi atrocities. The present day relevance is so disturbing. I pray to god all the people who have stood by and enabled Donald Trump get their comeuppance.

My Ancestors lived in NC and VA.I hope Democrats can make inroads in NC and reject Elon Musk and Trump. Two disgusting liars who are trying to kill Democracy.
