Always had two rules for my public speaking: don't hurt and try to help. After decades of this, I found just doing the first requires lots of thought, awareness and learning. Gotta understand other's pain or your medicine could be poison.
Brian Kemp's active suppression of the vote in Georgia is a national scandal, and, just to tin-foil hat myself a little here, may be one of the reasons the President went out of his way to post something distracting today. Just shameful on all sides
Racist fanatics have sought to glorify slavery, white supremacy, and domestic terror through honors like naming military bases after Confederate leaders.
We need to root out white supremacy at every level. No exceptions.
โDefundโ means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc.

Martin is a 75 year-old man who is still in the hospital after police shoved him to the ground so hard he bled from his ears. Now Trump is spreading lies about this poor man that will further endanger him. VOTE IN NOVEMBER AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. (Because it does).
