🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the Kansas Court of Appeals Friday denied Secretary of State Scott Schwab’s (R) latest request to revive a GOP-backed law that would throw out mail-in ballots received after Election Day, even if they were cast on time. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

GOP bid to scrap Kansas mail ballot grace period fails again
The ruling means Kansas election officials must continue counting ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within the following three days, including in the upcoming November elections.

This 20-year-old punk has amassed a reported $150-MILLION in his own name since his father took office a second time. He can't complete a semester of college coursework, but somehow he's a financial wizard, with really scummy friends.

However, that would not be the end of the racial tension in Cairo—nor the last lynching. Cairo has always been a hotbed of racism. This coming Sunday, I will post a thread on a 1967 lynching that changed Cairo forever. Stay tuned, friends. #KeepItWoke #DedicatedToTam✡️🕊 youtu.be/xIGTlct5eyQ?...

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️™️ 🧵 Nov. 11, 1909, Cairo, Illinois was the site of one of the most violent lynchings in American history. A mob not only lynched William James—a White man was lynched as well. Yep. A double lynching. Pull up a seat🪑.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I really hope so. I know not many supported him in 2024; but he did gain more than he did in 2020. Those Black people didn't want the former prosecutor because the narrative was that she locked up Black people.🙄 She did her goddamn job! They committed crimes—they got locked up!
