On Going Low and Going High
Democrats are pushing back in a way that they haven't been until recently, and some MAGA folk are going mighty low.
It's not the first time that either thing has happened.
But given our very high stakes and new technologies, it matters A LOT.

Tomorrow’s UNC Daily Tar Heel.
As provided by its managing editor, Caitlyn Yaede.
Brilliant.
And heart wrenching.

And so the attack on democracy continues.
In plain sight.
