It's "Free Your Mind Friday" on Leid Stories. Our regular format takes a breather and the program becomes an open forum for callers to express their views on a topic of their choosing.

But they must be ready to prove their point. 

The post-election blues

We'll have to hurry up and wait a bit for some official results, especially in races across the country that are still being tabulated or disputed, awaiting their day in court.

But that doesn't stop us from talking about U.S. elections -- what we like, don't like, or could care less about them.

It was among the topics up for discussion on Leid Stories yesterday, but it soon became clear that callers wanted to express fully their views about the murder of 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery, a black man, and the pending trial of three white men charged with killing him.

The conversation continues today, to accommodate those who wish to register their thoughts. Thank you

︎The idea of a national third party spawning new political choices while widening the field beyond two parties seems to have died. Are we to live forever in a Democrat-Republican world?

︎Jury selection continues its slow pace in Brunswick, Georgia, where three white men are to be tried on murder charges for hunting down and allegedly killing a 25-year-old black man who was jogging through a mostly white neighborhood near where he lived. Leid Stories discusses why the case is moving so slowly.
