As we approach the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, it’s important to note that many Black women helped yet they couldn’t vote! Those Black women included my Founders of @dstinc1913! Check out this @washingtonpost article! #PowerInOurVoicehttps://t.co/RpPNmk5mQy
Feeling a little ancient tonight. Ha. Today would have been my maternal grandmother’s 133rd birthday. Gulp. And my mother was born in 1921, one year after “some” women – not all – got the vote. Crazy.
It's not even 11 am & I've already experienced an earthquake, read a strongly pro-@KamalaHarris article in Politico, & agreed with a tweet by @hughhewitt calling out Ben Rhodes for his opposition to Kamala Harris. What's happening?!
You, too, Alycee! Each new day brings challenges to hang on to hope, but we must to make it to November. I am lucky to live in a vote-by-mail state which has been doing it since 1998 with virtually no issues. We always vote the first day and put our ballots in a drop box at the library.
It's really not a Presidency, or a campaign, any longer.
It's a crime spree.
A comprehensive thread which looks at Trump's frenzied law breaking, cheating and illiberalism – and how central its all become to his fight with Biden and the Dems. https://t.co/uyKpQYYMaG
It never was a presidency. It was always a crime spree. It’s just that now it’s being highlighted more and called what it is instead of sugar coating it.
We have to call out what's really happening here: the Postmaster General, a Trump political ally and fundraiser, is destabilizing the Postal Service ahead of an election where millions seek to vote-by-mail in a pandemic.
STEPHANOPOULOS: “In fact, the president doesn’t extend the federal eviction moratorium. I looked at the executive order. It doesn’t do that.” … KUDLOW: “Well, look, that’s not entirely true.” STEPHANOPOULOS: “It is true. I just read it.” pic.twitter.com/njmEM0pJ79
I continue to hear this narrative that we should not support Senator Harris because she was a prosecutor and she was tough on crime. As someone who was raped at the age of 5 and whose sister was murdered at the age of 19; I tend to support prosecutors who put monsters away. 1/20
There has been too little coverage of Johnson's activities that place him personally in the thick of the investigation of Trump's efforts in Ukraine. One of Trump's judges was a coconspirator in a broader plot to hack our election with Russian propaganda funneled through Ukraine.
GOP Senators Johnson and Grassley are laundering Russian propaganda says U.S. intelligence.

“Russian Election Interference Finds Ready Conduit In GOP Senators”
“Rachel Maddow notes an particularly specific warning from the director of the ODNI’s National Counterintelligence and Security Center that “pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach is spreading claims about corruption” as part of Russia’s efforts to manipulate the 2020 U.S. election against Joe Biden and in support of Donald Trump. Derkach has not only been using Rudy Giuliani to spread his claims, but Republican senators Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley have also been receptive to the Russian tactic.”
D.N.I. named Ukrainian parliamentarian Derkach spreading claims.
DERKACH HIMSELF told Wapo that he is feeding material to Johnson and Grassley committees.
Six years ago Michael Brown was killed at the hands of police, sparking a nationwide movement and a desperately needed conversation that we are still having to this day. We cannot give up fighting against police brutality.
what i remember most about Michael Brown killing…is how the police shot him numerous times and just left him to die in the street.his life blood flowed onto the street…the police would not let his mother go to him…they did not see a human person…. they viewed him as la beast..less than human….NOTHING has Changed since that day ….The police still kill black people with out accountability…my heart still breaks from this…still breaks
me too Sheila…and will never forget all the cover up including the gunshots (recorded), the photo of one of his shoes being far away from the other, and how he had his hands up.
When I hear “sleepy Joe” from Trump & his trolls, I wonder if they know how attractive that is to me & millions of other Americans. I’m tired of waking up at night to check the news. Or seeing what’s trending at 6:00 am. Or holding my breath for a news alert. Sleep? Hell, yeah. pic.twitter.com/Gno369JKVb

Voting is not the only ingredient for justice and humane social change, but it is a critical ingredient.
Voting does not reflect belief in a perfect candidate, but is one way to raise our voices for the most expedient opportunity for the most good. It matters.

Over 3,000 people died from the virus in the US while Trump was on his golf vacation and fundraising in the Hamptons this weekend. He deserves to be voted out by the biggest landslide ever.
On issues big and small, Joe Biden will not be rushed, including the critical choice of his VP running mate. He’s deliberative, and he doesn’t mind extending his timetable — again and again. https://t.co/C7jSWjLIkl
Belarusians are risking their lives to protest a corrupt autocracy, as Ukrainians did in 2014. They should have the support of the entire free world, as their dictator has the support of other dictatorships.

Until racism is eradicated, mantras and movements that express what should be will exist. Imagine if the people responding to “Black Lives Matter” with “All Lives Matter” would simply help eradicate racism. That’s how you demonstrate your commitment to the “All.”
Small businesses across our country rely on @USPS to get their packages to their customers as soon as possible. We cannot let Trump interfere with the Postal Service.
If you own or work for a small business, share your story about what USPS delays mean to you.

I’m feeling really nostalgic for the days when everything was transparent and productive. SIGH.
Remember how Pres Obama & his Press Sec would post a video every Friday called "West Wing Week"? From 2010-16, we were informed how the President spent each day of his busy week. Trump could never do this because it would be nothing but watching/live tweeting Fox, bragging & golf
Contrary to his predictions, President Trump won't have a coronavirus vaccine ready by Election Day, vaccine experts tell CNN after reviewing data from Moderna, the first company to begin its Phase 3 clinical trials of a coronavirus vaccine in the US. https://t.co/2BJtNvTeoG
Trump suggested giving his RNC speech at the Gettysburg National Military Park, Pa., in a move that would dredge up his opposition to removing names of Confederate generals from military bases.
Update: The Trump administration committed a "Friday night massacre" to reassign and fire dozens of key USPS postal employees and consolidate power around the Trump crony installed as its new head. https://t.co/Ipxft4H646
They need to be gone. Never again to have a hand in government.
West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice and his family received between $11 million and $24 million from a federal coronavirus economic relief program. His luxury resort received up to $10 million, but did not promise to retain jobs because of the loan. https://t.co/mihwd3XNrq
yourself that it's hard — perhaps because you feel guilty that you don't have it as bad as others — it'll sneak up on you and your reaction may come out sideways. For many, the isolation (or even relative isolation) is having a cumulative effect that's draining you. No two /2
the fact that almost all of it could have been avoided if we'd had a competent, empathetic government free of Trump's corruption, adds a component of outrage that only makes things feel worse. This all takes a toll, and I'm not ashamed to admit I freaking hate it. I guess /4

…should be slammed again and again. Mussolini at least got the trains to run on time; #DimwitDon is so stupid, he doesn't care his postmaster general is too incompetent to get grandma's card delivered on time for her grandson's birthday. And THAT will drive more votes than…
…it delivered mail when it came by horses. But the Post Office can't survive the incompetence of THIS man. Things have gotten this bad because of his policies. What's going to happen to the post office if this man returns to office? We will have the worst in the world?…
There is nothing normal about a Trump campaign megadonor with at least $30 million invested in @USPS competitors being appointed as Postmaster General to sabotage our mail delivery & threaten our elections. The @OIGUSPS must investigate this corruption now.https://t.co/iQEx4Nym5W

So so so lovely and such a refreshing relief from the horrible filthy mess in the WH we face now.
They are trying to shut down the window to respond. PLEASE make sure everybody in your networks have completed the census!!
Will NOT STOP until someone with sufficient stature to AWAKEN AMERICANS speaks the TRUTH …
BTW Nerdy, Michael Brown has remained in my daily thoughts since his vicious, cowardly execution.
DING! DING! DING! DING!

YES! An entire WH working selflessly in service to the public for the good of our nation.
Yay, Arthur!
Oops! I’ve just changed my vote to Biden in this case.
They need to be gone. Never again to have a hand in government.
