So many concerns. More concerns every day. Was @hasconcerns on that other app. Last person with no podcast.
Well, if this isn’t the best self-own I’ve seen in a while since JD Vance has changed his name three times.
The SAVE Act is systemic misogyny. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of women--those who changed their name after marriage but don't have either a birth certificate or a passport with their new legal name.

The House of Representatives is considering a bill that will lead to voter purges and widespread disenfranchisement of eligible voters.

The SAVE Act stems from baseless claims of voter fraud and is part of a strategic, well-financed effort to suppress voting.

HUGE NEWS: Allison Riggs' win in North Carolina has been confirmed by a second recount.

The race is over. Democrat Allison Riggs will remain a Justice on the Supreme Court.

Congrats Justice Riggs!

Please save NC from these amoral , unscrupulous, unprincipled legislators.
This sort of democratic backsliding, where Republicans seek to overturn the effect of an election by reallocating powers away from positions they have lost, has become almost routine now. But it should remain shocking.
Heads up:

North Carolina Republicans just voted to strip the state's incoming Democratic governor and attorney general of key powers — passing a sweeping bill before the GOP most likely loses its veto-proof supermajority in the Legislature next year.

1. The conventional explanation for food deserts—that these places are too poor or too rural to generate enough spending on groceries, or too Black to overcome racist corporate redlining — fail to grapple with a key fact: food deserts didn’t used to exist. My new piece in The Atlantic.
The Mystery of Food Deserts
They didn’t materialize around the country for no reason. Something happened.

If anyone ever wondered if Marx was on to something in his analysis of class, this is your sign.
Thinks he’s won The Apprentice. I suppose in many ways, he has. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We should find out tomorrow if Allison Ruggs’ 1/4 person per county margin holds 😬
One county reported canvass results to the @ncsbe site last night, so we now have a NC State Supreme Court justice election with a margin of [checks notes] 24 votes.

That's a margin of .00043329% of the votes cast.

A few counties will not complete canvass until Monday.

Just curious, is there such a thing as double jeopardy in impeachments?

A lot of people in Silicon Valley are about to learn what happens to the startup ecosystem when we gut the NIH.

TWENTY-FOUR votes. 24 standing between us and another MAGA judge. This is why we have to vote in every single election, for every single race, up and down the ballot. I don’t always agree with PA or Indy endorsements, but go with those if you don’t have time to research, don’t skip any race!

I paid for a subscription to TweetDeleter to scrub my Twitter account of 13 years' worth of tweets, likes, and retweets, just to spite Elon Musk.

The only thing that's allowing me to hang on is the fact that if we win back the House and Senate, it will kneecap the rest of Trump's term.

The midterm elections are 102 weeks away.

I'm pretty much sure that "Congress stunned after _____" is going to be in the headlines a lot over the next four years.

Is it true that the Onion won the auction for the Infowars assets? 😅

Midterms are going to be here before we know it. Let's start with your local and state races and make sure that there is more than one candidate in reach race. If not, cajole someone good into mounting a challenge. Do some basic and obvious things to things to support them.

I'm not sure what to wish for in the next four years. Such incompetence that nothing gets done? Fast and bitter infighting amongst his team? Trump imupulsively supports some cause or policy that is important to me, because the guy is that random?

Why didn't I do this sooner? It feels great to be back to a place where I may not agree with everyone, but I'm pretty sure that there actually *is* a someone behind most accounts.
