Thanks for the apology & correction,

@jacobkornbluh

CLARIFICATION: @vanjones68 did not apologize for alleged Black silence about Kanye. To the contrary: he stressed that many in his community are speaking out forcefully. In speech, he said he was sorry that he + others didn’t do more before Kanye. Apologies for any confusion.

I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.

If Raphael Warnock wins the Georgia runoff and Democrats have 51 Senate seats, President Biden will have far more room to fill his government with his choices for executive branch positions.

You heard it from

himself: “There are groups like...PushBlack. They have a different model. It’s relational. They engage human beings as human beings, and then they move them to vote. And it’s actually cheaper. It usually costs about $700 per additional voter."

Thank you
