Draconian voting restrictions. Texas just advanced a bill that among other things would make it a felony, you heard that right, a felony for an official to give a voter an Absentee Ballot Application if they didnt request one. As of march 24th theyve introduced 360 Voter Restriction Bills in 47 states. In many states these restrictions will specifically be hard on black voters. Look, i want to make this clear.

Im just patiently waiting, but im wondering, as i talk to friends who live in other states and theyre my age or younger and healthy and in the gym every day, im like, how did you get the vaccine . I dont really get it. We dont have a national plan. One of the things id like to see one of my tobe inlaws, theyre getting it this week and theyre in their 70s. I dont und
