For October 30 and November 27 - Midnight in Washington: How We Almost Lost Our Democracy and Still Could, by Adam Schiff. We will read parts 1 and 2, up to page 201 for October and the remainder of the book for November. A stunning look at what the Trump years have done to us as human beings. And Congressman Schiff’s argument about where we go from here is that it is only human agency—the willingness of individual people to be brave and speak truth to power, and bear the consequences of it—that is the only thing that will get us out of what remains an existential danger to us as a democracy.
