I don't think men really understand how different it is to be a woman out in the world and how quickly things can turn dangerous.
When I was living in New Orleans, I was walking home from work one night. It was fall--dark early & foggy.
A man came out of the fog toward me.

A man came out of the fog toward me.

He said hi, I said hi.
As he started to pass me, he asked me if I had the time.
I looked at my watch, looked up, he had a gun pointed at me.
He hit me so fast I wasn't able to steel myself.
I fell to the ground.
He said, "I could rape you right now, but I don't have time."

He wanted my money.
I had the grocery money for the entire house (I lived with 3 other people) in my purse.
He took it and disappeared into the fog.
The whole thing was maybe ten minutes, start to finish.
I was shaking so hard I could hardly get up.
My head was bleeding.

2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to

#2. Vote early if you can, so if there’s a problem you have time to correct it.
Had Al Gore been president on 9/11, I truly believe he'd have used the unbelievable unity we had in the wake of that tragedy to build support for a massive, New Deal style investment in renewable energy - wind, solar, infrastructure...
It would have done three things: 1) Freed us from our reliance on middle east oil & strengthened our hand in dealing with terrorism; 2) Created millions of jobs; 3) Helped with climate change.
Instead, we had George W. Bush, whose response was 1) to tell us to "go shopping," and 2) to invade the wrong country, at the cost of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.

#RubyBridges was the subject of this iconic painting by #NormanRockwell, "The Problem We All Live With," which memorialized her integrating the William Franz elementary school in New Orleans.
She turned 64 Saturday.
That's how close we are to #JimCrow.

#RubyBridges was six when US Marshals flanked her as she became the first black child to enter the all-white school.
Six.
Like Christopher Robin in House at Pooh Corner, if you need perspective on how small six is.
Today she is 64.
What a hero.

My parents were Civil Rights workers. My father was a Freedom Rider.
What #RubyBridges did seems so long ago, but she is nearly a decade younger than POTUS and because of Trump, #racism is nearly as central an issue as it was when Bridges made history.

Thread 1. @BrianLehrer I am shocked to hear @JohnKerry admit that they suspected the algorithm of the voting machines in Ohio was manipulated in 2004 & yet they did not challenge the results. AND THEY SAID NOTHING.
2. Those of us who researched the 2004 Ohio election for years & concluded that the results were in all likelihood not accurate - needed someone of @JohnKerry's stature to speak out - yet he did not until now. He allowed ppl to call it a #conspiracytheory & said nothing.
3. An excerpt from my documentary demonstrating that in most counties in Ohio in the 2004 election the handcount did not match the machine count. hollerbackfilm.com/film-clips-1/ Many activists & a few journalists have worked for years to get this message out. Where was @JohnKerry?

First of all, this Op-Ed baits it's Audience by Stating they are part of "the Resistance" when #Anonymous is nothing of the Sort.
They are COMPLICIT. Grifting on a Failing *Adminstration in Order to have Power over the Policies being set at the White House.

@AstorAaron @TheAtlantic @davidfrum That may feel good. In reality, the problem is US. It's apathy. We complain or sit out because we don't get our way. Congress is elected by US. If voter participation is < 50%, we deserve the congress we get. Unless we take power with 60-70% participation, it stays as is #vote.
@AstorAaron @TheAtlantic @davidfrum Things we can do to improve the situation:
1. Only have elections every two years
2. This includes all local ones too - city council, school board, etc
3. Make sure that local elections are in the same years as national ones
4. Then get out and vote every 2 years - no excuses!

@AstorAaron @TheAtlantic @davidfrum How do we do this?
1. 2020, we need to control the states that will give us the majority of the electoral votes
2. This means we need to win governorships and state legislatures
3. So we can determine redistricting
4. Be inclusive/aware of demographic trends for redistricting.

No I don't hate them, I am disgusted by the fact that we have forgotten that while we may have differences we are Americans

As Americans, sure we make mistakes, but we also learn from our mistakes and fix it so that we don't repeat them.

So liberals & the deep State are calling for the impeachment of the President after they illegally spied on him & framed him on a fake Russia investigation. After no evidence they go after people around him for decade old crimes. Is this still America? This is a travesty.
It is important that we not only vote this November, but we must get involved by volunteering to knock on doors, tell friends & family to #VoteRed. The future of America hinges on this one election. I can not stress it’s importance enough. Please Vote, Get involved & PRAY
If Dems win the house like rabid dogs, they will impeach our President. They will block his every move to restore peace & prosperity to this nation & make sure his 2020 election is dead on arrival. Big Tech will shut down all conservatives speech & the country will be lost #Vote
