@JaredRyanSears Just discovered you today, so appreciate your words and writings. I’m actively trying to limit engagement support on this platform so following you on BlueSky & Substack. Will share from those 2 but not from here. Thanks for your commitment to this work.

A Thought:

Can we stop showing Black and White pictures of the entire decade of the 1960s so people stop thinking it was 1000 years ago. I’m two years younger than the Civil Rights movement. And Ruby Bridges lives down the street from me and is on Instagram.

Retweet if you support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Happening now!

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Retweet if you believe Election Day should be a federal holiday.

Seeking the positive today and this is high on the list.

BREAKING: ‘Will I Am’ just dropped a new single called “Yes She Can”.

Hint: “She” is Kamala Harris.

Everyone in America needs to hear it:

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Wow. This new Kamala Harris ad narrated by Viola Davis is one of the most powerful things I’ve watched. It tells the story, experience, & vision of Kamala Harris & why she is ready for this. It’s a masterpiece & it sent chills down my body. Watch & share.

I don’t have daughters but I voted for my nieces, my friend’s daughters and myself.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Last night I asked random Black men -of all ages- I encountered at ATL, how they were gonna vote. Listen to what they answered.

And let me tell you something, do not underestimate the elders. Grandmas, do your thing.

Before you vote, understand this...

[Chasten Glezman Buttigieg @Chasten]

We hold every person in this country to a higher standard than Donald Trump, the petulant-bully-in-chief.

[Devin Duke @sirDukeDevin]

Tax the f*cking churches.

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Holy shit, this “American girl” ad from @senecaprojectus is amazing!!!
Hard to see the letters I’m typing through the tears streaming down my face though.

White supremacy & domination of the patriarchy is a sickness that ultimately harms all of us. We need to figure out how to change these systems and bring ALL along.

[MollyPeonies @mollypeonies]

Last night I couldn’t sleep (what’s new), so naturally I spent 3 hours going down the Twitter rabbit hole of white women in the suburbs who love Harris but are married to a male Trump supporter.

It’s this whole other world of women of all ages sharing their plans and fears. 🧵

@wendy_mcroberts @LanceASchart @scottbraddock @texasdemocrats @MomsAGAbbott Would love to get one of these. I also voted in the Republican primary to vote against Abbott’s school voucher candidates but I’m a Dem through and through and am all in for Allred.

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Peter Theil and Elon Musk were raised in Apartheid South Africa. Conditioned in an authoritarian society and now using their wealth to create it here. They have found the perfect opportunity with this MAGA movement. Coporate greed and fascism is a dangerous alliance. With Putin, Ormand, LaPen, Trump, and others this is a global threat. They share the belief that they will shape the world by force and have the right to do so. This idea of superiority is the rationale for violence if they don’t get what they want.

[Heather Bunkley Allen (she/her) @hkbunk]

@EFFE4USA @BrentNYT @nytopinion Like he did the first four years? Yeah, he’s selling warmed over rhetoric and you’re buying.
