Just think of it with your daughter, your sister, your cousin, your relative, your friend.

It was murdered by the police and there was no charging decision to help no one accountable for her death.

Hello students who have been on the sidelines maintaining a bigger hide silence who have served in the administration past.

You cannot maintain your silence any longer.

Hello and welcome to Trump cast. I'm Virginia Heffernin.

So today I'm just going to take a tiny step to the side, trying to skirt the red dwarf, black hole combo, the whole thing filled with tarry, buggy,

septic world obliterating dark matter creating an exterminationist vortex for all democracy.

I'm just taking a small step to the side.

That's because the only person who can bring light to a dark democracy exterminating hole against the laws of physics is Dahlia Lithwick.

Sure, Dahlia writes about courts and the law for slate and hosts the podcast Amicus.

She's also a longtime friend to me and to many.

But most importantly, Dahlia is now the ranking expert on all things American jurisprudence.

You may have seen her recently on Rachel Maddow and Trevor Noah's show.

That's because no one can survive the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Breonna Taylor and democracy itself without her.

I know I can't.

Dahlia, welcome back to Trump cast.

There's no one I'd rather be with during the Rowan coup, Virginia.
