RIP to John Lewis

I'm ignorant, but I didn't even know he was sick. Sad day. Great man.

I would like to watch the recent documentary. Anyone know where it is available?

I watched his interview with Letterman on Netflix. Thought it was pretty powerful and gave me pretty good insight into the courage that guy had. A great American and what a loss.

RIP, hero.

Legend. RIP

People like AOC and her cohort are stepping up to carry on his legacy. If you think that’s hyperbole check out what people said about his generation as they were coming up.

RIP.

What a true leader.

Guess they all look the same?

Marco Rubio is a toolbag but for about thirty seconds I went “wait didn’t that guy die like 6 months ago. Civil war icons, both served in the house for a long time, both beating on Trump like a war drum in the last few years. Both black. True, it took me no time to remember I was wrong, and I didn’t work with them, and I didn’t blast my ignorance on social media, but still.....

Wait, yeah. Rubio is a stupid asshole.

Judy Woodruff rememberers.

So much to learn from him, what he stood for and his courage to make this country a better place.

I have a feeling a lot of things are going to be named after him but I agree with the pundits the best tribute is to pass the voters rights act.

Powerful.

I'm sure you are all deeply surprised by this.

to his credit, at least he's not going to go and pretend that he cares about human rights and civil rights.

The problem is, he'll say something ridiculous like he's not going because of the pandemic, forgetting that he's already agreed that wearing a mask is a good thing. #StableGeniusPersonWomanManCameraTV
