So much for "You've come a long way baby". They are pushing us backwards at an alarming rate.

This why the GOP works so hard to stop people from voting. Especially black, brown, and people
who vote for and work for democracy and in many areas the Congressional Districts are drawn so
as dilute the power of their vote.

Some of the sweet little old ladies working @ the polls see their jobs as keeping “the coloreds”
from taking over. I know I have heard that for myself.

Good thing Derek Chauvin was convicted in a state court because Trump would have pardoned
him by now.
