This is a remInder of the recounts in the Georgia 2020 election.

Votes were counted, recounted then counted again.

Recounts proved (with both parties present) that President Joe Biden won the state with approximately 12,000 votes.

Period!

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Billionaires are fearmongering about California’s proposed billionaire tax.

Baloney. Just look at what happened when Massachusetts raised taxes on the rich.

Even if it's just $25 or $10 apiece. Make a statement. Let them know. Their peers will notice the support. Let them know, too.

Skip one restaurant meal. A movie. Contribute instead. Tithe for the survival of your values.

This is what we want. This is what we NEED. Let them all know.

Reminds me of that bumper sticker: "Nobody is born a racist"
If white people were raised properly, they wouldn't have to unlearn anti-Black prejudice later in life. Their bigotry towards others is a result of poor parenting and a lack of self-reflection and awareness, also attributed to the way they were raised β€” prove me wrong.

It's called disposable income for a reason. You can go to a restaurant, a movie, a basketball game, a concert... or you can protect democracy hanging by a thread.

Voting is no longer enough. We must also fund the campaigns to get out the voters, which we did not do in '24. How did that work out?

go Sam!
News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District.

By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come!
