29. They will be sorry - they have teed up the next MLK

Apr 2023

After listening to the speeches both of the ousted representative gave, especially Justin Pearson, I am hopeful for our future and that there will be a way through this to good. Hopefully they are reappointed, or if not, reelected. Hopefully the court will find this to be the travesty it is. Remember the words of Admiral Yamamoto: “ I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

Joy Reid and Lawrence O’Donnell agreed last night that they had advanced onto the national stage a decade or more earlier than they would have had this not happened. These are the people we need…the age, the energy, the beliefs, the courage.

I, for one, would donate for either of these two bright and articulate young men to run for the U.S. House of Representatives—- put them up next to any one of those who voted to oust them and I think you would see a one sided debate.

And all this from a 76 year old white woman….keep up the good fight all!
