I was telling a friend about me moving to Charleston, SC today and I thought about something I thought was interesting. They told me be careful. (For those that don’t know Today is the 4th anniversary of the massacre that happened in the city at Emmanuel AME Church).
shoutout to Stacey Abrams. today wouldn't have been possible in Georgia if she and Fair Fight Action hadn't started laying the foundation back in 2018.
Dearest #RubyBridges: Thank you. >>> 65 years ago today, 4 federal marshals escorted 6-year-old Ruby Bridges to her 1st day of school (1st grade), as the 1st Black student to attend previously all-white William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans, Louisiana. And today, there are legislators and school districts seeking to ban teaching on Ruby Bridges under the guise of banning “wokeness.” We have to stand so that they don’t whitewash U.S. and world history.
It’s hard to overstate the audacity of the North Carolina Republican Party.
After stealing the state house and senate despite getting FEWER votes due to rigged maps…
They’ve now used that illegitimate power to pass the most extreme congressional gerrymander in the country.
In North Carolina, Democrats won the majority of the vote but lost the state House and Senate overwhelmingly.
Republicans gerrymander because they know they cannot win fairly.
