@tedcruz Not you being a conservative and not being a able to take a joke, he just repeated her own words

Beneath contempt.

In a state where we should be expanding access and encouraging civic engagement, this bill does the opposite. Your voice shouldn’t come with conditions. Stay informed. Stay engaged. And don’t let policies like this silence voters before they even get to the ballot box.

• It limits voter freedom and forces political labels on people • It weakens voter participation by shutting out independents • It increases polarization by forcing people into party boxes • It gives more power to party insiders instead of everyday voters

Alabama House Bill 451 is trying to change the rules of the game and not in favor of voters. This bill would force you to register with a political party just to vote in a primary election.

📞 Call the U.S. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Ask to be connected to your Senator and tell them: VOTE NO on the SAVE Act (H.R. 22). Our democracy works when ALL voices are heard not when politicians pick and choose who gets to participate. 🗣️ Make the call. Protect you

For women who’ve changed their names due to marriage or divorce, this bill could mean extra hurdles, confusion, and even being turned away at the polls. That’s not election security that’s voter suppression. r vote.

🚨 CALL YOUR SENATOR NOW 🚨 202-224-3121 The SAVE Act (H.R. 22) is a direct attack on voting rights especially for women. This bill would create unnecessary barriers to registering and voting, making it harder for millions of eligible voters to have their voices heard.

On this day in 2018, Aretha Franklin’s granddaughter Victorie took a video of her grandmother at the keyboard singing “Nessun Dorma.” It remains the last publicly seen footage of the Queen of Soul.

Imagínate en una noche cantar 3 canciones en los Oscars, 1 en francés, cambiarte de peinado, maquillaje, técnica vocal y lucir como 3 artistas diferentes.

A reminder that service is still required. And a reminder that each of us has a role to play in bending this country closer to justice

It calls for public servants, organizers, faith leaders, and everyday people to recommit themselves to the work of justice not just in word, but in deed. I accepted this award not as a finish line, but as a reminder of my responsibility. A reminder that the work is not done.

Thank you to the Port City Chapter Blacks In Government for awarding me the Community Service Award at the 36th Annual M.L.K Commenorative Breakfast.
