I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

The question of our times…
"What can I do?"

That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question.

Glad you’re here, but I understand your lack of enthusiasm for social media. Grateful for anyone who remembers when Hollywood was golden, B&W was the way to go and gossip columnists knew how to keep a secret.😉

Bless her memory.🙏
On this day, February 21, 1936, Barbara Jordan was born. A lawyer, educator, and politician, she was the first Black woman elected to the Texas Senate and the first Southern Black woman in the U.S. House. Jordan was known for her eloquence and dedication to ethics in government.

Ohio’s Huge Opportunity

A 🧵 I hope you’ll read and RT

This will sound odd at a time that feels—and is—challenging (yesterday was especially bizarre), but some very good news also happened late in the day.

In Ohio, of all places.

Denver Riggleman is not alone. But where is the opposition? Our forefathers and all who have died defending this country against fascism are spinning in their graves. And this POS is about to get the keys to our beloved democracy handed over to his greedy bloodstained hands. Again.
