Sunday, February 28, 2021 SHARE If we can't end the filibuster, at least modify it. The fate of the world might depend on it.
There's no time to lose. The filibuster essentially erases the narrow margin of control Democrats have over the senate. Bias in the senate towards the red states, gerrymandering and vote suppression will see to it they never get another chance, unless the Democrats can deliver something to the working people of the country, not in 4 years, but in less than two.

With so many important things to focus on these days, it may be hard to remember that a ground-breaking journalist is fighting for his freedom, and possibly his life.
