Repeat after me: Never bring facts to a feelings fight. Never bring facts to a feelings fight.
Excellent @nytimes dataviz (on IG) about how #misinformation spreads in right-wing media

Ladies: If some piece of shit tells you this at school, or in the workplace or even on the street - FILE A SEXUAL HARASSMENT REPORT - It's SEXUAL HARASSMENT. File a report, press charges.
At school, file a report.
At work, contact HR and file a report.

PARENTS I need you to teach your daughters that if a boy ever says this to them, go and IMMEDIATELY tell the school that they wanna press charges for sexual harassment. And if the school does nothing about it, sue tf outta them too. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

There is one critical takeaway here. Kamala Harris was not the problem. She had great policy. She had strong values. She had a superb message. She had a stellar ground game. She had immense energy and compassion and love for America. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
So how many times is too many times over the next few days to rewatch the #TedLasso #Christmas episode on repeat? Just because that's what I can... Well basically emotionally handle. Asking for about 50% of the electorate #ElectionDay #Election2024

We are NOT asking for our rights.
We are NOT asking for our freedom.
We are not asking for EQUALITY.
We are TAKING it.

Louder for those in the back: If the penalty for having an #abortion is more severe than the penalty for #rape, then it's just fucking about controlling women! #psa #RoeYourVote

Katherine Graham stood up to Nixon.
Jeff Bezos cowered before Donald Trump.
I guess women are tougher.

I have 0 children, and I will gladly pay my fair share of taxes if that means someone else child will get free lunch.
It's not free. It's paid for by taxpayers.
And why should people pay for the "free" lunch of other people's children?
Feeding your kids is the responsibility of parents.
And if there are cases of social disadvantage where some kids aren't getting fed then we have a welfare system that needs to deal with it.
Oh come on! #Wordle 1,205 X/6 #Wordle1205
