At war and under siege? These folks are living in some kind of upside-down twilight zone.

You do realize that there is a middle ground between Medicare for All and Trump, right? That if Trump stays president the chances of Medicare for All ever happening are going to go way down rather than up? That we have a better chance of creating the country we want to see with Biden and Harris in place than we do

“Kamala Harris declined to pursue the death penalty for a cop killer and then refused to support a bill banning the death penalty.”

The black community has many cultures as well - black Americans, Caribbeans (and all of the national communities within the Caribbean), different African nations, Afro-Latino...

I know a couple of Okies now, and I’m convinced they’re the South. I’m from Georgia, though.
