Georgia's WIN List

An Interesting read about the legacy of a famous name: The weight of having that name has always been on me. Not in a negative way, but I was always conscious of the fact of who I was named after and whose shoes I was walking in. https://www.ajc.com//coretta-l/H26XZMIDNZE43DN5BU6IL6PZJY/

The reports underscore "the need to address health inequities in our country, including and our vaccination efforts," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Monday during a White House Covid-19 briefing. "We must acknowledge the disparities that exist and commit to an equitable distribution of vaccines, particularly to those communities that have been hardest hit by the virus."

The economic consequences continue: It is unclear what the financial toll will be for moving the project’s production out of Georgia, but having Fuqua and Smith, who are both Black and major players in Hollywood and internationally, support the decision could put more pressure on other productions to leave the state. https://www.cnbc.com//will-smith-antoine-fuqua-will-no-lon

Thoughtful reflections on today’s gun culture: The adrenaline in today’s gun culture clearly lies in paramilitary posturing, signaling to the world the ability to bring mayhem and destruction. Add a twisted mind with the urge to actually bring mayhem and destruction, and tragedy awaits. Even after the tragic spa shootings, Georgia Republicans refused to even hold hearings on gun safety measures.

Rep. Patty Bentley brings first hand experience to discussions of Georgia’s post COVID healthcare crisis: That’s the gist of this virus,’' she said. It’s not over.

State legislatures got redder in 2020. Georgia ranks 18th and our Democrat women outnumber GOP colleagues 3.3 to 1.

A creative way to call attention to the lack of a mask mandate on the Iowa House floor! The jeans are "brand-new, they’re clean, they don’t have any holes in them. They’re not hurting anybody. Not wearing a mask can kill people. So if they can enforce a denim dress code they can also enforce a mask mandate."

The cartoon below by Pulitzer Prize winning Washington Post cartoonist Ann Telnaes was printed earlier this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment.

Obama came to Georgia yesterday: Georgia could be the state. Georgia could be the place where we put this country back on track. And not just because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a chance to win Georgia. But you’ve got the chance to flip two Senate seats.

Interesting analysis on Rural Georgia and Metro-Atlanta turnout: If Georgia can gain "that much ground again this year, Biden will carry Georgia and win its 16 electoral votes."
