Well this is alarming. Passaic is the only NJ county on the list. I’m a poll worker in Essex County, and that job feels even more important these days.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

And yes, I was the last Black full-time columnist in the Opinion section.
Washington Post -- operating in a city which for a long time has been majority Black, is now without any full-time Black opinion writers.

I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.

While I was waiting at the bus stop this morning a woman came up to me asking me to sign what sounded like a petition to require higher restrictions on certain vaccines “because they cause autism,” so I asked “What’s wrong with being autistic?” —

The only prayer that matters when it comes to the regular and repeated murder of American children while they are at school is the kind of prayer that is taking action, the kind of prayer that materially fights for the living, the kind of prayer that says "never again" and means it, from MN to Gaza.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

60 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law.
Now, we have an administration conducting voter suppression in real time. In Texas, Republicans are trying to gut our democracy by redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats—before a single vote is cast.

Deliberately inflicting famine and attacking innocent people trying to feed their families. How can people still say this isn’t a genocide?
More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since May while trying to get food in Gaza, mostly near food sites run by an American contractor, the U.N. human rights office said.

I do this referring to stuffed toys and random animals when talking to my toddler. The default for kids’ things is still “he” and I’m so bothered by it! Still remember years ago working at an educational farm, a kid said of the cow, “look at his udder!”
If I could get all of us, self included (although I try very hard), to use “she” to refer to media voter, typical blue collar worker etc, I would be happy. Just a little shift in our perspective
Your regular reminder that the median voter works in the non-tradable services sector, experiences trade <only> as a consumer, & the illegal, stupid tariffs do nothing but make her poorer by raising prices on everything she buys at Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, & everywhere else.
