I attended the Biden event in Los Angeles last night. Fantastic, but it made me think about a few things.

I’ve been around a minute. Lived through several Presidential races. I remember not being excited about the candidates, but I have never in my life fixed my lips to say, I’m not voting because of it. Neither did my grandparents who survived Jim Crow and were not always welcomed at the polls.

I don’t understand folks who are saying that today.

Your top issue isn’t being talked about enough or going the way you think it should? Let’s survive now and live to fight another day. But first, look beyond what you’re seeing covered by the media, because Biden is not getting the same coverage that Trump is getting. And much of that coverage is skewed. It’s likely your issue is being worked on and you have been heard — so look deeper!

We don’t have to invite the candidates over for tea and crumpets, but staying home when we have the Supreme Court that we have, is short-sided and a disservice to those of us who see Trump as the number one danger that he is promising to be.

NO CHOICE — IS A CHOICE FOR TRUMP!!!

Welcome back, America. You've been here all along, but a lot of you had to hide your head for awhile! Godspeed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!

Wine gifs aside, today feels like a new day. A sense of hope for the future returns.

July 29, 2020 Good read. If you don't see toxic behavior here, you can't see at all.

Eight years ago this week, we protected young people who were raised as part of our American family from deportation. Today, I'm happy for them, their families, and all of us. We may look different and come from everywhere, but what makes us American are our shared ideals…

Confessions of a Former Bastard Cop by Officer A. Cab https://t.co/2XpyIFxFp9 I don't agree with everything here, but it sure makes for interesting reading:
"None of us protected the people (you) from bad cops; never rat out another officer who Does The Thing, much less stop it."

[Kirk Clague @bandguy5686]

@plucckesi Yep. He's a REAL problem and has been for a long time. Is there a realistic challenger out there?

@nallstedt @cvcue Awesome sauce, my dear friend!!

Every single Democrat on Twitter needs to to retweet this important message and spread the word:

We must increase voter turnout from 55.7% in 2016 to 60% in 2020 to guarantee a massive victory for @JoeBiden and a #BlueWave2020

#VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Man. I haven't really been on Twitter much. There is A LOT of hateful stuff posted here from all sides. But we can say "y'all" really good-like. Ugh. Read and think...THEN post stuff.

Um. It's nowhere near done with us yet. Stand by for the cost of early reopening!!!

"Don't count Trump out yet" "...We live in a strange country, one worthy of the president we elected...recent attempts to write off Trump's chances at re-election sound to me like wish fulfillment." If you oppose this President, Register and VOTE. https://t.co/tpPQ1n4Nmr

Trump has defunded the police that stop corporations from looting -- the EPA, SEC, Labor Department, Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
