What Is Needed Now

Angry white people have elected a horrible president. They didn't have to. They could have made a wiser choice. But we are now stuck in a very dangerous situation.

One of our reporters at KQED is in fact the first journalist to be issued a subpoena demanding that he reveal his sources by the Trump justice department. He will not reveal his sources, because that is our code and our promise. You tell us what you know and we protect you in return. He may go to jail as a result.

Now is the time for people of conscience to act. We have Congress (thank you John McCain and Lindsey Graham); we have the courts; and we have the press, which our so-called president has called the enemy of the people.

Make no mistake about it. America's democracy is at serious risk.
