When I ran for Congress in ‘14 I ran as an Independent - long been aware of the issues involved. Also wrote about it in “Healing the Soul of America.” G. Washington warned us against political parties; said they’d form factions more interested in their party than their country.

Abolition came from the Abolitionist Party; Women’s suffrage came from the Women’s Party; Social Security came from the Socialist Party. Third parties have historically been extremely important in the US and we need to protect them. HR1 should be amended. peoplesparty.org/response-hr…

Republicans have now introduced 253 new voter suppression laws in 43 states. Voter suppression is a direct attack on our democracy and we MUST stand up to it.

Yesterday was the anniversary of march across the bridge at Selma, leading to passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. In 2013 the SCOTUS gutted the Act, leading to the spate of voter suppression efforts all over the country today! Support #ForThePeopleAct google.com/amp/s/www.history…

This bill will help a lot of people, and not one Republican voted for it. Darn right I will still vote for a Democrat instead of a Republican.

Prayers for Myanmar and all its courageous young people like Kyal Sin. May she Rest In Peace and know that others will carry on. 🙏🏻
Her name is Kyal Sin and she was brutally murdered this week. She wore this black shirt that said “Everything will be OK” when she was shot in the head by Burmese military. Know her courage. Here’s how her memory may stop this coup and help protect democracies everywhere (THREAD)
