Veteran Inspired Highway 82 Bypass, Connecting Delta to Industry World War II veteran Anse Dees’ efforts in Greenville paved the way to the Highway 82 bypass that officials hope will bring industry to the Delta.

After being shot down over Nazi-occupied France in 1944, Anse Dees avoided captivity for five days with a wounded arm until he was able to make his way to an Allied base.

He returned to Greenville, Mississippi, where he dedicated his life to civic work.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals β€” Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

I worked on Theater of the Mind a few years ago and he was the most unassuming ordinary (yet extraordinary) person. A great guy!

How a Group of Lesbians Provided Lifesaving Care During the AIDS Crisis Amid abandonment and fear surrounding the AIDS crisis in the 1980s, a group of lesbians became a lifeline for AIDS patients.

Between 1983 and 1992, the Blood Sisters hosted 12 blood drives, demonstrating sustained commitment for nearly a decade. ‡️

Oof. It’s creepy on so many levels.
Aggression in any form is a red flag for me. Why so desperate to convince you?
And how did they get your phone #?
That’s unsettling.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.Β 

A new generation that gives meaning to the β€œwe” in β€œwe the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

I’m an old.
So MANY elected officials need to not run for re-election.
We need younger candidates who are in tune w younger ideas & people & values.
Not the same old same old.
