Biden in NC today: "I know I'm not a young man. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to ... [but] I know how to tell the truth. I know right from wrong. I know how to do this job ... I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down you get back up!"

They asked Reggie Jackson a question about overcoming racism in baseball. They expected a candy coated, saccharine answer, but he gave them that raw uncut. 👍🏿 Don't ask the question if you're not ready for the answer. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Making emancipation a US war aim transformed the Civil War, James A. Garfield declared in 1868 on Decoration Day (the precursor to Memorial Day). It "made the soul of John Brown the marching companion of our soldiers," he said. "The struggle consecrated...every man who bore a worthy part.” 🗃️
