I miss John Lewis and his limitless devotion to democracy and equality. He was a man of deep integrity and compassion. Fortunate to have had the honor of knowing him.

Lorenzo's spirit lives on through all of us who've followed, and gotten to know him through his "mom lady" too! Glad that she decided to keep this page going, as I've missed his feline musings, and pics of his Ukranian "cat cousins." #Lorenzo #Cats #Spirit

Indiscriminate mass layoffs by Elon Musk are ravaging key programs, depriving our people of nuclear safety inspectors, air traffic controllers and food safety inspectors. These cuts crush democracy and devastate the livelihood of tens of thousands of public servants.
