There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.

In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall.

We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

Show me a black person who is facing 91 felony charges but remains free to golf, hold rallies and go on crazy social media rants attacking prosecutors and judges overseeing their cases.

@amacker @WSJ Really sorry Andrew!

Good morning South Carolina.

You have two ways of voting to help save our democracy in February.

Option 1) You can vote to strengthen @JoeBiden on 2/3. He is going to crush the opposition there.

Option 2) You can vote in the R primary on 2/24 to stop Donald Trump.

#VOTE

"Reconstruction teaches us that when extremist movements tell you where they are headed, you should believe them. America should not go backwards on rights yet again," writes Christopher M. Richardson, a former U.S. diplomat. (via @latimesopinion)

“I was considered a troublemaker, and that was all right.” Read about the life of Ambassador Terence A. Todman and his legacy of promoting diversity ahead of an event to honor him on February 1. @ShareAmerica has more on his extraordinary career: https://t.co/CcfqnQt7OE.

Thanks so much to @ForeignPolicy for publishing this piece!

The State Department has 70 years’ worth of internal reports, congressional investigations, and high-level promises of reform. Yet these initiatives, for all their good intentions, largely failed. Here’s why.
