The 3/5’s of a person thing: I understood that was a compromise done so that the South would have LESS power in government than would have been the case if slaves were counted as full humans. There are features of the system now, including partisan gerrymandering, voter suppression and counting prisoners (disproportionately people of color) as residents of conservative communities where prisons are located rather than as residents of the place where they lived prior to incarceration that are just as egregious. Then there is the Electoral College and the fact the each State has two Senators to further reduce the impact of voters in larger States. Money pouring in to smaller states from corporate donors and the 1% combined with the seniority system in the Senate lead to things like Mitch McConnell (ouch!).
Being in moment… open. To me that is not procrastination. Procrastination is when I choose not to do something “until later” that would best be done now.
Anderson Cooper was channeling Sadie… and she doesn’t realize it (amazing).
