2/3 1944: Young, in favor of the Ives-Quinn bill and told that his godson was killed in action in Italy, said,"This boy was snatched out of college to make the supreme sacrifice. If he was good enough to die for his country other Negro boys are good enough to work for it."
3/3 " If we here do not take steps to end the kind of discrimination which denies a man the right to a job because of his skin, then this boy's death and the death of all the others who are fighting for a democratic world is in vain."

That Northam hasn't resigned places the Dems in the same nefarious category with the miscreant GOP. This was a clear effort by the GOP to defame Dems in gen'l. & it's critical that since Ralph did this, he resign now. #MondayMorning

2-"A racist photo in Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s yearbook entry has become a national political concern for Democrats, threatening to complicate their bid to draw a sharp contrast with President Trump and the Republican Party on race ahead of the 2020 election. As Northam
3-"defied a nationwide chorus of fellow Democrats calling for him to resign on Sunday, party activists and officials struggled to move past the growing controversy. “Without question, the longer he stays in, the more of a distraction it becomes and that’s not good for Democrats,”

@WhiteHouse for the first time in #american history a spker of house has revoked an invitation to a duly elected #POTUS to speak before the nation. These traditions are what "Makes America Great" #Pelosi is very extreme and is denying our #SOTU speech. #WWG1WGA #MAGA #sadness
We don't have a 25th amendment to apply to @SpeakerPelosi but we do have to begin to ask is she "mentally competent" She has grabbed power and control of our budget, boarder security and #SOTUS speech. This is "fascistic" In nature and destroying our country.
Here is a list of #fascistic techniques of #putin and #pelosi

-Supporting Hamas
-Supporting Hezbollah
-Supporting Antifa
-Supporting Destroying the Constitution
-Supporting Open Boarders
-Taxing 70% of your wealth

These are tactics of #Fascist - destruction is the end goal

#BrianKemp is the 3rd Secretary of State in #Georgia’s recent history to run for governor and the only one who has not resigned from office. He’s determining who gets to vote and where, who gets provisional ballots, and which ballots get counted. nytimes.com/2018/10/15/us/…
The previous two Secretaries of State who ran for governor resigned when they ran for the office — not #BrianKemp, because he knows he’s running against #StaceyAbrams who could be the first female African-American governor in U.S. history, and he’s losing.
It’s close, but #BrianKemp's losing, and the only way he can win is to make sure #StaceyAbrams' voters don’t get to cast their ballots.

Are you one of the 591,000 #Georgia voters Kemp purged in just one year? Find out here: gregpalast.com/georgia-voter-…

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
