Uncle Thom is 75 and bigoted Alito is 74. They are getting older and might decide to retire soon. If Biden is re-elected and they retire, he gets to select their successors meaning a liberal Supreme Court. This is an excellent reason to vote for Biden in 2024.

Several months ago, my better half gave me some advice.
"Don't let the trolls distract you. Focus on what you set out to accomplish, and let your actions speak for you."

Christopher Bouzy @cbouzyPeople ask me about the GOP primary, so here are my predictions. Nikki Haley ended Vivek Ramaswamy's political career. Vivek might stick around for the first primary, but he will be out soon after. Vivek is just a distraction at this point, and like Tim Scott, he will be gone soon.08:38 AM - Nov 13, 2023

This is how we got here. Never. Stop. Learning. This history belongs to all of us. Black history IS American history, no matter how hard the white nationalist GOP tries to convince us otherwise.

I am not saying this because I own Spoutible, but I sincerely like being here more than on Twitter. It's far less toxic, and I am seeing relevant news and information again. Now we just need to get news outlets to create accounts.
