@pbsnews: "American democracy is under threat" was the starting point for a task force assembled by the American Bar Association two years ago. Its mission was to investigate the causes and potential solutions for this growing problem. Since this work began, the country has seen a turbulent election, the transfer of power, deepening political polarization and an alarming rise in political violence, witnessed again this week with the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who helped lead the initiative, joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the task force's findings. #pbsnews #news #democracy #jehjohnson #charliekirk #americanbarassociation

It’s not under threat. It’s dead. Killed by the tangerine tyrant.

350,000,000 Americans with 1,500,000 law enforcement. Society is only held together by its morals and values. Both are fading away quickly. Immigrants do not have the same values as most Americans. Democrats keeping poor people trapped on welfare and handouts leaves no hope for generations.

Democracy has been under threat to corporate interests over functional economic values with a mix of political assassination in-between

Attorneys are the problem. They treat us like only they understand the language and therefore complicate it. I see there working group didn’t have any blue collar workers or everyday Americans. More elites trying to tell us what is right.

I feel like America as a whole would be way more chill if we had healthcare, or livable wages, or properly funded anything. We slave for others our whole lives and then suffer and die in poverty when we’re old and useless to billionaires. Meanwhile Canada has basic income programs for parents and the elderly, and the UK has had free healthcare since 1948. How long does it take this country to connect the dots???

Our Constitutional individual Republic is and has been in danger for quite sometime now. America is not a government controlled democracy like they have brainwashed the masses to believe

And yet Big Law is capitulating, Bondi's bar license is intact, and many other people with high-ranking positions remain in good standing with the ABA.

why are we framing this as a both sides issue? the right is kidnapping our neighbors and putting children in cages, the left wants them to maybe not do that and also idk, make sure people have access to food, healthcare and respectful treatment at work. so extreme!!

This is needed for all essential bodies with government influence including education, healthcare, agriculture, communications, and public safety. We need those leaders to create a non-partisan task force for this same reason.
