Thought about tonight and realized, I haven't read his name or picture in 5 months here in the . Not that I can recall. Someone has posted about Rep Lewis, but I haven't seen it.

Remedy that.

After he passed in 2020, Apple ran this ad with Rep Lewis' famous quote:

"Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

bragged in Davos that she helped STOP VotingRightsProtections bills including Act and Freedom to Vote Act that wd've addressed gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement.
Just last week we got some surprise relief from striking down a racially discriminatory congressional map in AL This cd reverberate in several states where Republicans have drawn maps to try to suppress voters of color. #2024

Bought some dining chairs in the John Lewis sale, arrived last Thursday but they've stood in my hall until today. Went to move them and noticed one of the chair legs was broken.
Called JL.
I bought this chair 5 days ago and I just noticed it's broken.
We'd better get it replaced then. When are you home?
Saturday?
OK we'll pick up the broken one and drop a new one off by 5pm, but we'll let you know a 2 hour slot the night before.

I love good customer service!

Arizona's own Suppressing U.S. Senator is glad to disenfranchise most anyone. What's democracy to billionnaires or oligarchs? Here's sweetheart explaining her in killing the Act last session. Suddenly Christian too🤔

@dustcircle @thedemocrats profits off paving the road to fascism (her actual infrastructure). For BIF she led with 's playbook to BBBitter. Arizona's late beloved former state AG called her Unfit when she pulled off one of her biggest grifts grandstanding Against the bill a day after being feted in Houston by execs.

Today in Labor History February 12, 1880: John L. Lewis was born. He was president of the United Mine Workers (UMWA) from 1920-1960, and founder of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). In 1935, he pulled the UMWA from the American Federation of Labor (and punched out Carpenters Union President William Hutcheson in the process) when the AFL refused to endorse industrial unionism. Lewis then formed the CIO, which organized millions of unskilled, mass production workers into unions in the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1920s, he used red-baiting, stolen elections and violence to expel the communists from the UMWA. Yet he refused to make his officials take the non-Communism oath required by the Taft-Hartley bill. Canadian labor leader J.B. McLachlan called Lewis a traitor to the working class.

being honored on a US stamp is well-deserved...

AND, AND, AND can we PLEASE get on the damn $20 bill already?!?!?!

PS. To be clear, representation on currency CANNOT begin to repay America's debt to people; only the redistribution & funneling of resources & money into Black communities can.

PPS. 1 of my favorite things is a self-inking stamp on to LEGALLY alter a $20 bill to hide 'ol w/ HT.
