Item 2 from the Key Findings of Catalist's analysis of the election: partisan shift. "Many voters changed their partisan preferences. Harris lost vote share among younger voters, men, voters of color, and infrequent voters. Trump did particularly well among these groups of voters." 1/2

The physics of materials defines their resistance and behavior. Density affects buoyancy, elasticity allows deformation, and thermal conductivity determines heat transfer. Each material has unique properties that govern its use.

I endorse Jennifer Konfrst because she would be the first Congressperson with a surname with 5 consecutive consonants.
Dan is an Iowa community leader and Polk County Dems Central Committee member who’s ready to fight for a better Iowa. Hear from Dan about why he’s on #TeamKonfrst:
“She’s one of the brightest, most articulate, and caring people I know. I’ve got a feeling - we’re done with Nunn.”

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible.

If there's one thing we can thank the Trump administration for, it's for showing to everyone how the government is actually helpful, useful and mostly making things better, by gutting one crucial government agency after another.
Huge opportunity for a political party that believes government can do good things. Public opinion is finally shifting after 50 years of right wing anti-government propaganda. This isn't the time for cowering and throat clearing www.cnn.com/2025/06/01/p...

Summer 1974 and the ferry from Burtonport Co. Donegal to Bran Island has made room for a “precariously perched car”. According to photographer Frank Bodson, the whole caboodle “excited no interest” among those on-board. (Observer magazine, 1/9/74.)

FRIDAY: South Park, San Diego, neighbors weren’t having it. When ICE rolled up on an Italian restaurant in unmarked cars and started grabbing workers, the community hit the streets.

I've been going through "What Happened 2024," a heavily data-driven postmortem of the last U.S. election. catalist.us/whathappened... I think something went terribly wrong in the last elections, and I think this report might help explain it. I wonder if other people find this interesting too.
