60 years ago today, on "Bloody Sunday," peaceful marchers in Selma, Alabama, were violently attacked while demanding voting rights.

There has never been a better time to ignore all the Republican fake culture war bullshit they are rolling out to distract from what Trump is doing to our economy and national security. Focus on the stuff that matters - that people are feeling. We can’t let nonsense distract us.
