Tonight, my under 3 yo will, pajama clad, clutch and read along to a book from @dollyslibrary. And she will at the end, as we taught her, softly touch the small headshot on the cover flap and intone, to herself, to us, and to the ether: "Thank you, Dolly Parton." 📖💫

My father understood that the ballot is not passive. It is one way we help shape justice, leadership, and the future of our communities. On Election Day, let us not only remember his call to march on ballot boxes. Let us answer it. Vote. Stay engaged. Encourage someone else to do the same. #MLK #Vote #ElectionDay

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about California’s election — including from the President. This explainer is worth a watch. And yes, for the record: we wish the votes were counted faster, too.
Why does California take so long to count ballots? In short, the state’s leaders have prioritized expanding last minute options to vote by mail over a quick count.

I think we literally need to pay for every elected official and policymaker to visit places with high speed rail if we want our country to not be so far behind.
