ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election
BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

The daughter of a Black-Jewish couple we know is making her life in Israel and is quite happy. My daughter, with the same heritage, has no plans for that. She's proudly Jewish, not religious, but you can see the principles in how she lives and treats people.

It is no surprise 61+ widows over are the fastest growing group of homeless people. Death of a spouse wipes out 2/3 of SS income. Even if there is a pension, the survivor's benefit is not much. For those who never had pensions or 401ks it's brutal. We've built too little senior housing for the need

We started careers when there were separate listings for women, inflation was double digits & we made 60% of what men made for the same work. Our savings were wiped out in 5 recessions plus 2008 & COVID. In retirement we get 1/2 of our spouse's SS or our own based on decades of that 60%.

My cousins, just two kids, received private educations in Asbury Park because they could not be across the hall in classrooms with white children.
I think speaking up about this is important because the people who lived it are dying off and people born in the last 50 years believe it didn't happen

Even outside is a problem if it gets in the way or discourages voters in getting to & from the polls. We have enough trouble w people with precious minutes between kid drop off and getting to work.

Please don't. Come to vote. Check in, cast your ballot, and leave. We don't have space in most polling places for "a party." We need to keep things orderly & moving along so everyone votes w/o delays

Last I heard, antisemites were not being selective about which Jews to persecute. Last night I celebrated the conversion of a man of African descent. It's sad to think Israel will not be a haven for him or others based on racism-that's the word for Barak's thinking. It demeans us all.

Why would someone think the Founding Fathers used technology that did not exist, text only visible by microfilm readers, to do anything?
It's like Romans building road with asphalt. Didn't happen. Couldnβt happen.
Our schools have failed in teaching how to think critically.

During the Civil Rights Movement, Amzie Moore risked his business and safety by sheltering activists and helping organize Freedom Summer voter drives. After refusing to post segregated signs, white lenders cut off his credit. His quiet courage helped expand Black voting power and change history.
