I am so curious what you all would think of my actual forks.

I agree on #3 but I honestly don't have #5. Still, need to see the handles for sure.

You're not wrong. And also. My kids and a bunch of my friends still talk about their horror when she said she would turn the US military into the most lethal force the world has known. They all voted for her, but it still comes up in conversation.

Now, imagine being the *parent* of people who can vote and at one that can also legally buy alcohol and marijuana products, at least in our state. 🤪

As someone who's had stones, I am wondering if there is a spell we can cast. I can say for certain that the agony slows you down!

My late neighbor was a teenager when her family was incarcerated. It's rumored that an empty lot in the next block is owned by a Japanese-American family who will never sell it because of the trauma of losing so much back then.

Seems we should develop some new, visible rituals for Remembrance Day.

He was not the candidate in either of those general elections. In 84, it was Mondale. In 88, it was Dukakis. Those two lost those elections all on their own. You may be remembering that Jackson won delegates in the primary, but he did not win the nomination either year. Not a spoiler.

Which general election did he spoil? I'm not aware?

A Dream Deferred: Jesse Jackson and the Fight for Black Political Power From CNN’s Abby Phillip, a triumphant new look at Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns of the 1980s and how they changed Black political power“A joyful, rich, must-read biography of a politician whose flaws and gifts were in constant, intense competition.” —Jake TapperJesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip.Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago, young people on college campuses, and Black people across the South, he created the modern Democratic coalition—one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris.With her expert reporting, natural storytelling skills, and a story so full of humanity, politics, and hope, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon.

A good day to get "A Dream Deferred," the highly readable Abby Phillip biography of Jesse Jackson that came out last October. For those who remember what a significant figure he was in his time and those too young to remember.
