A champion for women’s rights and one of the greatest female figures of the 20th and 21st centuries dies. And as you silently cry in the basement of your parent’s home out of fear for who our tyrranical president will replace her with and potentially erase years of progress, the not-so-gentle tone of Tucker Carlson’s voice and Fox News creep through the floor boards above your head. You scroll through social media and you see one tribute after another to the extraordinary life of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And then you realize that crying isn’t going to do a goddamn thing.
Happy #juneteenth !!! before COVID, I had the amazing opportunity to work with Alabama Public Television and interview Alabama house representative Terri Sewell; THE FIRST Black woman to be elected congress in Alabama! was such an inspiration to hear about her experience as a young Black girl with the passion for change. Terri Sewell advocates for voting rights—well known for sponsoring the Voting Rights Advancement act: which would update the Voting Rights Act of 1965, by providing increased oversight over voting changes, updating the pre-clearance formula to oversee contemporary discrimination patterns, and expanding the power of the Attorney General to send federal observers to jurisdictions in areas at risk for discrimination during voting. (WE TOTALLY NEED THAT ATLANTA!). We discussed how to get your voice heard through voting even when you’re young (). We also got to (personally) weigh in on a vote she had to do after our meeting about whether or not to pass a bill against teen vaping. We need more Black faces in legislature . . . #blacklivesmatter #houseofrepresentatives #congress #terrisewell #alabama #politics #blackpolitics #blackpoliticians #juneteenth #blm #vote #vote2020 #voteforchange #atl #protests #nojusticenopeace (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBobYXCA0Y0/?igshid=g8qp598ztxq2
“Economic institutions shape economic incentives: the incentives to become educated, to save and invest, to innovate and adopt new technologies, and so on. It is the political process that determines what economic institutions people live under, and it is the political institutions that determine how this process works.”

I truly wish I get the chance to meet him one day, and apologize for the horrible IGNORANT things I used to say when I didn’t know better. Thank God I woke up in time. When you speak to God, and truly open your heart and listen to him, your outlook on life changes. I hated God, Trump and this country not even a year ago… today I am a PROUD AMERICAN, PROUD TRUMP SUPPORTER and Proud child of God. It’s clear the left has such hate in their hearts, irrational and no rhyme or reason.. but that poison only kills you, not those you “attack” I love being with the party that is loud and proud AMERICAN.. happy .. smiling .. joking intelligent.. common sense hardworking respectful police supporting people! #draintheswamp #trump2020 #godscountry #proudtobeanamerican

This is a reminder that if you’re in the USA and over 18 please register to vote! And check your registration status! It can change very easily, especially if you’re registered at a different address than where you currently live. This election is so incredibly important and a lot of the outcome depends on young people actually showing up and voting so do not throw that away.
Also keep in mind that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, RIP, wanted her vacancy to remain empty until a new president was installed. Help fulfill her dying wish.
You have a chance to direct the course of history so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE register to vote!
RT&❤ I don’t care if you vote for the Left or the Right so long as you cum vote for this #hotwife with your hard cocks & orgasms this #TittyTuesday @ courtneylynn.cammodels.com
Can we take a moment to reflect that Mitch McConnell, who felt that the administration was not doing its part (in the Senate) to curtail a deadly disease, chose not to call out that administration on its failures for over two months? Has Mitch just (unknowingly) admitted to be a contribuiting factor in how this administration has allowed a virus to run amok?
Give me a moment and let me explain:
(1) Mitch McConnell chose not to be at the WH since August 2020 because the administration was not following guidelines.
(2) Since August, people continue to test SARS-CoV-2 positive, with hundreds of COVID-19 deaths, because there are lax social distancing guidelines across our country.
Furthermore, millions are continuing to be laid off and continue to go food insecure (1/6 adults) or rent insecure (1/10 adults) because of this virus.
(3) There are no standard local and state social distancing guidelines across our country because the administration in power chooses to visually represent themselves in a way that is anti-mask, anti-social distancing, and anti-science.
(4) Mitch Mcconell didn’t agree with the administrations in-house guidelines for months but chose not to point it out until the (entire) WH GOP became infected!
Did I get my facts right?
Someone correct me if I am wrong but this interview came out October 8, two months after he felt that administration was not doing it’s part to ensure everyone’s safety.
Right?
Two months?
213,000 dead.
Millions of jobs lost.
Mitch McConnell is a contagious tumor in this administrations cancerous growth.
Trump is likely to claim that mail-in ballots, made necessary by the pandemic, are rife with “fraud like you’ve never seen,” as he alleged during his debate with Joe Biden – although it’s been shown that Americans are more likely to be struck by lightning than commit voter fraud.
So we should expect him to dispute election results in any Republican-led state he loses by a small margin – such as Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin.
The 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides that if state electors deadlock or neither candidate gets a majority of the votes in the Electoral College needed to win the presidency (now 270) – because, for example, Trump contests votes in several key states – the decision about who’ll be president goes to the House, where each of the nation’s 50 states gets one vote.
That means less-populous Republican-dominated states like Alaska (with one House member, who’s a Republican) would have the same clout as large Democratic states like California (with 53 House members, 45 of whom are Democrats).
So if the decision goes to the House, Trump has the advantage right now: 26 of state congressional delegations in the House are now controlled by Republicans, and 22 by Democrats (two — Pennsylvania and Michigan — are essentially tied).
But he won’t necessarily keep that advantage after the election. If the decision goes to the House, it would be made by lawmakers elected in November, who will be sworn in on January 3 – three days before they’ll convene to decide the winner of the election.
Which is why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is focusing on races that could tip the balance of state delegations – not just in Pennsylvania and Michigan but any others within reach. “It’s sad we have to plan this way,” she wrote recently, “but it’s what we must do to ensure the election is not stolen.”
The targets are Alaska (where replacing the one House member, now a Republican, with a Democrat, would result in a vote for Biden), Montana (ditto), Pennsylvania (now tied, so flipping one would be enough), Florida (now 14 Republicans and 13 Democrats, but 3 Republicans are retiring) and Michigan (where Republicans now have 6 members and Democrats 7).
Congress has decided contested elections only three times in U.S. history, in 1801, 1825, and 1877. But we might face another because Donald Trump will stop at nothing to retain his power.
That’s why it’s even more critical for you to vote. Make this a blowout victory for Joe Biden and Democrats down the ballot, and stop Trump from stealing this election.
Did the deed, with great enthusiasm! Not just my civic duty but my right and privilege. Now more than ever! #vote #vote2020 #doyourduty #everyvotecounts #everyvotematters #staysafe #maskup https://www.instagram.com/p/CG-fePxJtJo/?igshid=u17hvzfl6nmx
