209: Searching For Answers

Author: Politicon November 9, 2024 Duration: 1:03:02
In the aftermath of the election, Kimberly Atkins Stohr hosts #SistersInLaw to answer your questions.  The #Sisters cover the guardrails that can protect the country from Trump, what happens to his criminal cases and convictions, the effect of the election on his sentencing, and why the civil cases and judgments against him might prove to be the best tool for holding him accountable.  They also discuss the spread of disinformation, how to limit the dangers of social media, why people might have split their vote, getting the facts out, how to break out of our echo chambers, and more.
