I’ll join CNN @NewDay in 6 AM (ET) hour to discuss my article in @TheAtlantic about the Steve Bannon indictment theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Joining from an actual TV studio. Rate THEIR room!
Link to my CNN New Day appearance re Steve Bannon indictment. Probably was a little too spicy for the 6 am ET hour, better after it's cooled on the windowsill for an hour or two. video.snapstream.net/Play/aeVSSmyKI…
I understand and sympathize that so many people on the positive side wished to check out of US politics for a while after Inauguration Day 2021. Me too! I spent much of the past year reporting and writing about the artistic heritage of Nigeria. (Article coming soon.) But ... 1/x
... the forces of reactionary authoritarianism did not check out. They stepped up. They are more frenzied, more threatening than ever. They are poised to retake Congress and bestow immunity/impunity on violent lawbreakers. The Bannon trial won't meet the danger. And so ... 2/x
It's over to us all. I quoted on CNN the passage from Isaiah:
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
"Then I said, Here I am. Send me."
It's up to you, to me, to all of us.
Time to check back in.
