/3 Notice also how thankfully Heritage accepts the gift that people like Ezra Klein give them: if you can frame bigotry as a “debate,” if it’s done in a friendly chat or a podcast or some other stylized forum, then it’s just uncouth and intolerant to call it out. Works out swell for bigots.

Prop 50 is about protecting party power, not democracy

"There's two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It's highly likely because they're given Tylenol." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
So for those keeping score, being a Jewish male and Tylenol are now the leading causes of autism.

The sock puppet orgs behind the No on 50 campaign. #1. The rebuttal was signed by 3 people from "First Citizens Redistricting Commission." This org doesn't seem to exist at all, and is a cynical play on the name of the voter approved Citizens Redistricting Commission, a state org. Sock Puppet!

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide!
It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers.
It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Why are autism rates increasing? Largely definitional, i.e. more sensitive diagnostic tests. The current regime's announcement was hogwash, and very dangerous.

Autism rates rose again. Experts explain why
Autism rates are higher than ever before, probably because of more expansive and sensitive diagnoses. Those numbers highlight the need for more support for people with autism.

Good reminder. I've pushed some businesses to find other suppliers (and they said they would!)
Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.
Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

And every one of those lives was just as important as Charlie Kirk.
