Rep. John Lewis

A great American.

Uh oh, someone may have jumped the gun.

U.S. Rep Alma Adams tweeted, then deleted.

Sadly, this may be confirmed by the end of the day.
Another Trumpist day of jubilee.

Still with us, according to AJC

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

I hope you're right.

If there's no confirmation or clarification in the next half-hour or so, maybe we need a title revision.

Remain In Place??

I'd kind of like to hear from the Good Representative himself, a la Mark Twain and Paul McCartney.

Why do people do this stuff?

Remember when Florio did this with Terry Bradshaw?

 

[Starman]

You get major twitter credit if you're first on this stuff by 30 seconds.

Ooh boy!!! Don't make me so horny in public!

I want to fit in with Cool Twitter even less than I did in high school, if possible.

It happened long before Twitter (Joe DiMaggio) and will happen long after Twitter.

I'll just write this now, because I feel bad that we often only praise people after they have died:

John Lewis is such an inspirational figure. Immense courage. A legendary link to an era which predates my life. I highly recommend his memoir, Walking With the Wind.

The Black Abe Vigoda?

He gave up his health 60 years ago for something that Trumpists still disparage.
I hope he lives to see Trump and his klan thrown out of office if for no other reason than that he can get a proper sendoff upon his passing. Trump and Ted Cruz and Todd Hawley and all other SEC Senators will spit on his corpse if given the chance.
