If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake,
don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year.
Don’t bother.
Please.
And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.
Am I doing this right?

JD Vance destroyed Ohio’s brand & I can prove it.
In 2014 the Ohio Department of Tourism did a study to understand Ohio’s brand. After focus groups & interviews with Americans from outside Ohio they arrived at a (not entirely surprising) conclusion—

Can all the educated, thoughtful people agree NOT to stoop to calling everything we don’t like a “syndrome” because maybe we know better?

I started my career in nonprofits. I do understand all the challenges, truly do.
Here is the challenge for people like me right now—our democracy is in shambles. Our elected officials are either participating in the deconstruction or absent.

One of the nation’s leading medical research institutions has saved countless lives. They aren’t perfect, but they have served the greater good for Americans for a good part of our history. IF American innovation in healthcare is so important, why cut them off at the knees?
The largest private employer in Baltimore just lost $800 million in federal contracts and grants. This recession is going to be a doozy.
Johns Hopkins Plans Staff Layoffs After $800 Million Grant Cuts
Local and international health research efforts are already winding down as the university braces for even more potential cuts.

Hey #storytelling experts—is there a framework for explaining how the story ends after a #shitshow jumps the shark?
I think we’re living that, but I’d appreciate a spoiler so I know what’s coming next. I’m past being entertained by surprises.
