On this day in 1963, Fannie Lou Hamer was arrested and beaten in Winona, Mississippi, while returning from a voter education workshop in South Carolina.

.@spencerpratt’s campaign gave voice to real anger in L.A.
People are hurting & feel unheard.
The Palisades Fire. Homelessness.
Politicians would be wise to listen & adjust course. Not mock the pain.
“What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another.” RFK, 1968
The LA mayor stuff is the dumbest conspiracy theory I've ever heard & makes no sense. Dem establishment/Bass wanted Pratt, not Raman, to advance.
Bass crushes Pratt in a 1-on-1 by 18 pt, while Raman beat Bass by 4.
Pratt's the rarity in LA less popular than the unpopular Bass!
My father dedicated himself to the cause of justice. He stood with the people, all people, and he refused to accept that the way things were was the way they had to stay. He carried titles that history remembers, but the ones he held closest were that of husband and father.
What I miss most is not the public man. It is the one who came home at the end of a long day, who wanted to know what we thought and why, who pushed us to be curious, generous, and unafraid of hard questions. Daddy did not lecture us about his values. He lived them, and that is how they became ours.
I think of him often now, when so much of what he believed in and worked to uphold is being trampled by those in power. His legacy of championing justice, democracy, and freedom has been passed to each of us.
Americans have one message for the Bidens: Go away.
Joe Biden left office tremendously unpopular & remains so (-19 pt net favorable).
He's by far the least popular of any former Dem prez at this point after their presidency.
Jill Biden was the least popular Dem first lady.
@MaeveReston He’s going to have to explain how he let the signature industry, film & television production, leave the state 3 years ago.
