On this MLK Day, it’s worth remembering Dr King’s time in Florida, specifically, St Augustine - the town I grew up in.

It’s worth noting, I didn’t learn Dr. King had spent time in my hometown until I went to college…in 1992…in Tennessee. 🧵 St Augustine was founded in 1565, and King’s goal in the summer of 1964 was to integrate the town prior to the celebration of our 400th anniversary. He’d been encouraged by locals to make St Augustine a new front in the battle for civil rights. 2/

Ok folks, huddle up.

We are going to do this 1 more time

Why Biden winning Florida blunts this ->

1. Last Republican to go to WH without FL was Calvin Coolidge

2. Florida results - with rare exception - will be counted/published on Election Night

Let’s walk through it. 1/ In 24 days - Florida will begin mailing out vote by mail ballots

People will get them, and start returning them - with two stamps to be safe.

The Governor issued an order in June allowing counties to begin canvassing those ballots 22 days out

Dear Democrats - and particularly Florida Democrats, can you pull up a chair for a second? We need to have a little chat about voting, and specifically vote by mail ballots.

1/ I understand everyone's concerns about this election, especially given Trump's admissions regarding the USPS. Yes we should raise Hell. Yes we should push Congress to step in. Yes we should double down on voter protection efforts. But what we can't do: play into their game 2/

A thread about my pup.

When we got him, he was just a goofy 5 month old pup at the shelter. I heard someone else mention they were interested in “Mason” - so I cut in line to get him first. They think he had been born stray. When he came home, he would eat 4-5x a day. He seemed like the sweetest dog on the planet. He’d curl up on floor next to you — but turns out he wasn’t just sweet - he was really sick. An injured eye, worms, you name it, he had it. Stray puppy life has taken a toll.
