She was a real powerhouse. I’m glad to say that I knew that before she was assassinated a couple of weeks ago…but so many of us are engrossed in the national nightmare, and not paying attention to the horrors and/or *greatness* in our own state legislatures. Spend 10 minutes on this piece:

Clyburn: "People better get serious about this. When he says he's not joking about throwing away the Constitution, which is what he'd have to do to have a third term, and we are not gonna rise up in opposition to that? I think it's time for us all to wake up."

Every time Trump or his gang crows about his “mandate,” the Resistance needs to respond with this: only 63.9% of the VEP (voting-eligible population) voted.
That means 31.59% of US voters for Trump, and 30.66% for Harris…and leaves 36% of eligible voters who didn’t bother.
Better PR needed, ASAP!
