Georgia turned blue; Senate should, too.

***************
▶ The state of Georgia has not elected a Democratic senator since 1996. On 5 January 2021, that could change. Georgia citizens, voting in two runoff elections, will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate.
▶ Nationally, Republics have 50 Senate seats, while Democrats have flipped one net seat, for a total of 48 seats. If Democrats win both Georgia races in January, the Senate would be divided, 50-50. Under the Constitution, Vice President Kamala Harris would then be the tiebreaking vote, thus giving the Democratic Party unified control of the White House and Congress, allowing President Joe Biden to undo some of the damage wreaked by tRump and his Republic accomplices.
▶ On 5 January, vote for BOTH:
☞ Reverend Raphael Warnock (pastor, MLK's Ebennezer Baptist Church)
☞ Jon Ossoff (fellow Lithuanian-American!)
▶ UPDATE:
Both Warnock and Ossoff were elected to the U.S. Senate.
