There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.

This idea is a myth, in part, because correlation isn't causation. If families are able to homeschool without the kind of financial (or emotional or psychological) hardship that can really hurt kids, it's because they have a great deal of privilege on which to draw.

Seeing negativity about Lindsey Vonn that she shouldn’t have competed due to her age and it was hubris and she shouldn’t have been skiing on an injury, but:
- that’s ableist and ageist
- she was medically cleared
- she hooked the gate, extremely common error and totally unrelated to her ACL or age
