Thank you. I started with fiction, which I think/hope made Laboratories a much more interesting read than otherwise. But my fiction also draws on the real life dilemmas, issues and questions in politics. Enjoy it, and I look forward to your feedback... https://t.co/7H9v4gjr01

I recently re-read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, only to discover that the human version of it is playing out in the state I call home. So many Napoleons feeding at the trough around here. https://t.co/r5LDU8MtzQ

I bought a books of Langston Hughes poems a few weeks ago. And Freedom’s Plow is my new credo: “We are America! To the enemy who would conquer us from without, We say, NO! To the enemy who would divide And conquer us from within, We say, NO!…” 1/

Good. For those who haven’t read it, “The Voter File” is all about the hidden power of statehouses to undermine democracy. It’s a good story. But that theme isn’t fiction, I’m afraid. Grab a copy here: https://t.co/OnoyoZJr8g https://t.co/Ahr8EyITt1

I’m reading @jmeacham‘s excellent book on John Lewis. The behavior of the Ohio GOP of simply ignoring clear court orders is the modern-day version of segregationists ignoring US Supreme Court rulings banning forms of segregation—which is what to the Freedom Rides, etc.
