VOTE!

09.30-10.07.20

Let’s be honest. We can do better. 

Here’s how we can do it together.

Encourage women leaders with the Happy Dog, learn how to Stop the Hate with the Maltz, party for justice with the CMA, protest with the City Club, celebrate civil rights with the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, and RememberWhatTheyDid.

Take time to enjoy the autumn colors on the newly restarted Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, join an after-dark ride on the Towpath Trail, jump on a two-day fall sale at Dru Christine Fabric & Design, learn to plant trees for the environment, celebrate Halfway to CIFF, and drive through St. Stanislaus to bring your feast home for the online polka party.

We are not standing down from this fight: CoolCleveland political correspondent Jenna Thomas talks with Cleveland Municipal Judge Emanuella Groves, CoolCleveland columnist Mansfield Frazier offers four perspectives on lies, bigotry, oppression and moral cowardice, while CoolCleveland columnist Judge C. Ellen Connally wonders how Nina Turner expects anyone to trust or hire her, plus offers a review of Bob Woodward’s new book detailing how we have the wrong person for the job at the top of the ticket. We can do better.

Mon 10/5 is the last day to register to vote. Let’s get real, and get out the vote.

She recently called Joe Biden “half a bowl of shit.” The former Cleveland rising political star has now announced that she’s starting consulting firm.

Bob Woodward Does it Again

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were the journalists who blew the cover on Watergate and helped drive Richard Nixon from office. Woodward took on the current president his 2019 book Fear, but for his new book Rage, he got Trump on tape in 18 interviews in which he blows his OWN cover. “The final sentence of the epilogue summarizes the whole book: Trump is the wrong man for the job,” says reviewer C. Ellen Connally, who strongly recommends the book. Read More
