One headline, that I didn’t post this morning, was an NPR story about how young people are among those answering the call to help ensure our elections will run smoothly. Seems county election officials can’t sweet-talk retirees into being human bullseyes for radical election deniers who will lie, threaten and intimidate those just trying to earn a little extra money and do their civic duty at the same time. What makes me take notice of the fact that young people are getting involved are two other headlines in today’s roundup that clearly show the GOP’s future has a shelf life, especially as more young people understand the implications of political corruption; It’s not your imagination if you’ve been noticing more interracial marriages portrayed on TV, especially if you believe the screen only mirrors real life; and There’s a reason why California is boiling these days. Go beyond the headlines…
