"May all the sounds of lament and war as well as the poisonous winds in the environment be dispelled. May these words of love and compassion blend with the innate goodness of every single being and coalesce into one powerful force...."

Chuck Schumer achieved the near-miraculous by passing MAJOR legislation under Biden with a TIED 50/50 Senate. Literally NO Senate Majority Leader has ever achieved what he did with such a narrow margin. Consider that the ACE baaaarely passed, and we had a 59-60 vote margin. *

Fannie Lou Hamer put her life on the line fighting for the right of Black Americans to vote, at a time when exercising that right could get you beaten, jailed, or killed.

You vote for people to represent you. THEY vote for who they want to organize them.
Whatβs funny to me is white people pretending they cared about Angie Nixon. If yall liked her you would have opened your wallets like her name was Bernie.
Chuck Schumerβs net worth is 7 Million dollars.
Hakeem Jeffries is worth 2 million.
They donβt represent us.
We want leaders who are worth $-76.00 and an old Blockbuster card.
