The orange crapcake they’ll shortly install isn’t even a tiny fraction of the man Jimmy Carter was.
Carter was a real man, and a real President.

I am working on something about this! If you faced serious harassment on twitter after the election and want to chat about it, DM me. Looking for people who were harassed outside of the platform - either spilling into in person, or other websites, phone calls, emails, etc.
I'm also gonna suggest again for the op-ed writers than instead of writing the 20th "iS bLuEsKy aN eChO cHaMbEr?" thinkpiece you maybe ought to write about how people left Twitter because they were being threatened with sexual assault. Unless you're too much of a coward to make Daddy Elon mad.

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

The most exhausting thing about this era has been watching people I once respected -- personally, professionally, politically -- steadily migrate toward Trumpism. Even as Trump gets progressively nuttier and more authoritarian. Just a relentless, eight-year barrage of gut punches.

Ladies: If your boyfriend repeats this lie, dump him immediately.
He's letting you know that the only way he can imagine keeping you around in the long run is if he traps you with unwanted childbearing.
What's so wrong with that he knows he has to trap you before you find out his dark secret?

JUST IN: Governor Tony Evers signed new legislative maps for Wisconsin.
Maps give Dems a new shot at winning majorities in WI, undo GOP's hyper-gerrymander.
They were proposed by Evers after state supreme court struck down the gerrymander. GOP passed them last week to avoid court coming back in.
