John Lewis is bringing all of us to church today. Such a powerful man, who will be greatly missed.

Does anyone know why Hilary and Michelle aren’t there? I'm assuming social distancing. I'm not surprised by Hilary but I am about Michelle.

I was wondering if HRC or Mrs Obama have a health condition that puts them at higher risk of covid so they were advised to stay home

If that didn't have you moved, you might want to check your heartbeat because you might be dead.

Not just passing the Voting Rights Act again, but marching further to make Election Day a national holiday, automatic voter registration, representation for PR and DC...

I appreciate the rebuttal to all GOP statements about John Lewis' life and legacy that were completely divorced from the reality of what the GOP has pushed. Especially when it comes to voting rights.

I was feeling so sad about losing him but this absolutely joyful send off is reminding me to be grateful that we had him for as long as we did.
