    The evidence is damning, chilling, and overwhelming. Only cowardice and complicity stands in the way of conviction.

    Watch all of this. How can anyone conclude that Donald Trump is innocent?

    Shamelessness: n. a condition of having no shame. Example: saying you won't expel Marjorie Taylor Greene bc it would "overturn the will of voters in her GA district," but also voting to overturn the will of voters in GA, PA, MI, AZ and WI for Trump

    I’m not either!

    January 6 happened. We all saw it. It was a violent attack on American democracy, incited by a president and his enablers and abetters. I want to know what the hell happened. Who the hell was behind it. And I’m certainly not ready to turn any page.

    Great article, well worth reading. So is the book, White Rage by Carol Anderson!

    Voter suppression in Georgia. Again. No politician who believes in a strong democracy and liberty and justice for ALL should support this.

    New GOP-sponsored bill would make voting much harder in Georgia. Top GA Republicans support it. "Voters would be required to make copies of their photo ID and mail them to election officials twice before being allowed to cast an absentee ballot."

    Here's the risk if Trump isn’t convicted: A future president will try to overturn the election at the end of their term. If they succeed, they’re president for life. If they fail, and can’t be held to account, we can expect it to happen again. There must be consequences.

    Some Republicans in Congress seem confused about what “unity” means. They seem to think that if you don’t give them what they want, you’re not for unity. 
That’s not unity, that’s my way or the highway. We're in a crisis and Americans need help.   Let’s unite around that.

    Thank you for reading it!

    Thank you for the superb book that taught me about race & racism. The book was transformational for me & I will work to use my sphere of influence to face racism & change it. "Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced"

    America lost an extraordinary soul in . On the field, he brought power + purpose. In the community, Hank Aaron invested in progress, in people & in dreams. May his wife, Billye, his family and friends find peace in their sorrow, knowing how deeply he was loved.
