82. Wrong place

As the great grandchild of slaves in South Georgia I have learned we must always fight. If we give up our children will suffer. Republicans in Texas did their usual rat f. They want to wear us down so we don’t vote but if we don’t vote we will lose far more than we can imagine. We must vote for everyone because children in cages will continue if we give up. Oh yeah it will be our children in cages next.
