I made a conscious effort to follow Black Women on here after 2016. It's evident that they KNOW this country better than anyone. And thanks to them, I knew who Van Jones was a long time ago. I'd probably still be signed up for his LoveArmy nonsense if I hadn't been listening.

He’s tanking it BECAUSE it has proven to be a useful tool of communication. This is where I came after 2016 to listen. To listen to Black Women. To listen to all whose experiences I did not share, but wanted to understand and learn how I could best be of service and protection.

My hypothesis on why many of us hold up Rep. Lauren Underwood is because she so fully embodies what we want to see in our politics. A mastery of issues, policy, and the world in which that policy must be enacted. And a clear understanding and reflection of her constituency.

If young voters want to know why Democrats haven’t gotten more done, this is why. Because we the voters don’t give them the prolonged power to get the big things done. Building takes time and it takes political capital that WE give them to get the things we want done.

The fact that Herschel Walker, JD Vance, and Dr Oz have no business being elected officials is exactly why their voters will vote for them. There is no winning their voters. Only outnumbering them.

And I find it instructive when people speak on what “Democrats” need to do, as if Democrats exist separate from them. If there is something I feel “Democrats” need to do, then I’ll get busy working on it, because I am a Democrat, and a proud one, at that.

At 12 years old, Opal Lee's family home was burned down by white supremacists.
At 89, she walked from Texas to D.C. to get Juneteenth declared a federal holiday.
At 97, she was given back the land where her house once stood — and a new one is being built.
