@elienyc: "The Democratic Party is about to run a Black, South Asian woman against a white supremacist former president. It’s about to run a person whose parents were immigrants against a xenophobe who supports mass deportations. It’s about to run a woman who prosecuted sexual predators against a sexual predator who has been judged to be a rapist. ." Damn straight. READ IT ALL https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/america-is-ready-for-first-black-woman-president/
@helenkennedy: Finally, some sanity: The five year prison sentence that a black Texas woman received for trying to vote on parole - after officials told her she could - has been reversed. (On the same day a white Republican got a fine for intentionally voting nine (9) times.)
