Yes….Elections Matter.

The arc of history is long
What President Barack Obama did 13 years ago is reaping rewards now
Do you understand?
The people who don’t vote in midterms because their issue isn’t being addressed are myopic
Democratic Party presidents are putting things in motion for our future

My wife and I were talking about this video and she said how it really shows @JoeBiden generosity of spirit. "There's always space for other people."
She's right. And I think that's my favorite quality about him. He doesn't need to take up the whole room. https://t.co/aCih1zr034

Whole lotta truth
In this video clip, Brotha Roland Martin speaks to Black society, including #BlackTwitter, about the significance as well as the backlash surrounding the confirmation of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the US Supreme Court. Heed his warning.

Ketanji Brown Jackson had many allies among the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, but none of them distinguished themselves more than Cory Booker, writes @CharlesMBlow. https://t.co/Ung88mAh2T

In the last 15 years we've witnessed a Black man elected President, a Black woman as our Vice-President, a Black woman nominated to the SCOTUS and a Presidential administration with a minority yt presence. Ask yourself, why are 'progressives' kicking back on that reality?

The People’s House has seen few days as glorious as this. Lost it when Her Honor said “My family went from segregation to the Supreme Court in one generation” and quoted Maya Angelou: “I am the dream and hope of the slave.” Looking around, I wasn’t alone.
Happy KBJ Day. pic.twitter.com/z77L5LPxrj
