Fun Fact: I played HS ball at Phila HS for Girls. We went up against dawnstaley at Dobbins. She was a phenom then and remains one today. So much admiration and respect for this Philly girl! Congratulations to South Carolina Women's Basketball for an unbelievable season. We believed!

Imagine how unpopular this bill must be if it took the Governor, Speaker of the House, Wall Street Journal, Koch Brothers money, no fiscal note, not allowing members to go home for the weekend to see their constituents and more for this bill to pass by a single vote.

The rollback of Civil Rights protections is the latest test of our multiracial democracy. The 'diversity is toxic' narrative coming out of FL and court decisions retreating from a commitment to redress systemic racism and discrimination are beyond sad. 😡 nytimes.com/2024/03/06/us/…

The threats to a multiracial, inclusive democracy are as imminent as they are extreme.  Our federal officials must do everything within their authority to protect and promote the fundamental right to vote—and they must do it now.
