Sen. Booker on Juneteenth, Jan 6, and our gun violence affliction

June 21, 2022 By jconway Leave a Comment

These feel like gloomy times and I may come across as very pessimistic about the Democrats and our democracy enduring after two more looming and divisive elections where neither seems to have the advantage to the forces of darkness that are once again ascendant. I think Sen. Booker does a great job in these three clips reminding us that Jan 6 was not just an attack on Democrats but an attack on our very democracy, that working to reduce gun violence requires compromises that will save lives and lay down the foundation for stronger bills to come, and that Juneteenth is a day for celebration and reflection.

Say Amen, Somebody! @TommyVitolo has always been effective at building winning coalitions to deliver on his program which is progressive in the best Brookline traditions. Vote for him! Like @PaulJWarren that’s how I’m voting! #mapoli

PaulWarren @PaulJWarren

No surprises tonight. Tommy is collaborative, effective and he delivers for Brookline. I’m voting Vitolo. @TommyVitolo

.@LizCheney and @MittRomney recognize the threat to our freedom. It is a an anti-democracy movement that uses tactics from the fascist playbook. Many elected officials are too afraid of being cancelled to act in defense of our Republic. #mapoli

Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney

Millions of Americans across our nation – Republicans, Democrats, Independents – stand united in the cause of freedom. We are stronger, more dedicated, and more determined than those trying to destroy our Republic.

This is our great task and we will prevail.
