SCOTUS will allow Alabama to use a congressional map that a lower court found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. A Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places it at odds with democracy itself. This is Chief Justice John Roberts’ legacy.

Ken Jones, a retired San Francisco firefighter, has died from lung cancer after Blue Shield denied his treatment claims Any 2028 candidate who does not champion universal healthcare is a non-starter. I will not vote for someone who kills my neighbors for "shareholder value." You can go burn in hell

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Today is the birthday of my beloved friend John Lewis. He was the most respected member of Congress for his lifetime commitment to nonviolence and public change. It was the honor of a lifetime to serve with him. He taught me to get into “good trouble.” I think of him often.

Pam Bondi is covering up the most heinous of all crimes-the rape & trafficking of young girls. She is complicit not only in the biggest corrupt, coverup in American history, but by participating in protecting these rapists & pedos, she has become one. Bondi belongs in prison. #ProudBlue #Pinks

It's your birthday, Duane.
Duane Kearns Puryear, holding his panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It reads, in block letters: "My name is Duane Kearns Puryear. I was born on December 20, 1964. I was diagnosed with AIDS on September 7, 1987 at 4:45 PM. I was 22 old. Sometimes, it makes me very sad. I made this panel myself. If you are reading it, I am dead..."

There are several great resources to learn about Duane, his advocacy, his family, his panel, and the politics of memory and re-creation, especially this one by The Dallas Way: http://www.thedallasway.org/stories/written/2021/9/19/duane-puryears-and-the-quilt-panel

Duane Puryear died in 1991.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. It’s that simple.

I bought my son a Furby when they first came out. We opened it up and he said "it's kind of creepy mom" - it opened it's eyes and said "don't be scared". It went straight outside to the trash can.

Yes. I've actually been down to Tippah County (and Ripley cemetery) - it's not too far from me here (in Memphis). At the time, I was locating more direct Whitten graves. I need to go back down there.

circumstances surrounding her death. It looks as if the part at the bottom was added after the grave stone was made. I'm guessing that she might have died in childbirth - giving birth to triplets? She had 4 children that survived. I can't find any obit or news article.

#Genealogy #stubbornmystery This is the grave marker for Pocahontas Madora Whitten (nee Rogers). It's kind of hard to see, but at the bottom there's a carving that reads "she and her 3 little ones rest in peace". She would have been 29 at her death and I can't find anything about the
Grave marker for Medora Rogers Whitten, a 1st cousin, 3x removed of mine.  The mystery is the part carved into the bottom that says "She and her 3 little ones rest in peace".

#Genealogy. I love going through old newspapers. There was a rabies outbreak in Memphis in 1931. My dad, aunt and grandparents all had to undergo rabies shots. Back then, they gave you multiple shots in your belly several times over the span of a week or weeks. My dad said it was painful.
