Any explanation for why those 11 democrats didn’t show up to vote and why non voting only matters when constituents do it?
Georgia, this is your next Secretary of State. Congrats to Penny Brown Reynolds. "A Georgia for all of us." 💗
The difference between Dawn Staley and Kim Mulkey, among other things, is the difference in how they handle matchups against HBCUs. One coach wants to feature HBCUs to get them exposure and encouragement (plus Louis V!), and the other wants to keep the starters in up a milli.

Today is Monday & my frustration w/folks that do panels, festivals, award shows, & interviews about inner city issues yet only show up to TALK about the work needed to be done. Especially during voting cycles.

Black men have the worst response rate from elected officials, I wonder why they might be disengaged from voting…
Hundreds of thousands of Black men are sitting out elections in Ohio. Almost no one is asking them why. ms.now/news/ohio-black-men-v…
