KKKelly said she adamantly opposed #BlackLivesMatter in August 2020. In January 2021, Black voters adamantly opposed her and ushered in the first Black Senator to ever represent Georgia. Congratulations, Reverend Raphael Warnock! ✊🏾

An UH-MAZING clip of Mrs. Ella Little Collins, older sister of icon and revolutionary Malcolm X speaking of their love for plants & flowers! She talks about Malcom X bringing her back plants from other countries & "he'd water it just like it was a baby."

Governor Kemp is a liar who had to cheat while overseeing his own race to attain his position. He’s learned that the best way to win elections is to rig the game. He’s being exposed as the underhanded anti-democratic operator he always has been. Thank you MLB for taking a stand
