🚨A little less than 2 hours until polls close in Virginia.🚨

A reminder to vote if you are a Virginian who cares about keeping abortion access legal and a lot of other progressive gains we’ve made

Did I mention we have same day voter registration?!

When I was a wee baby lawyer, an associate told me she was in a partner's office getting instructions when suddenly the partner jumped up & told the associate to follow.
To the woman's bathroom. Where the partner proceeded to take the dump of the century, with sound effects.

Just caught a whiff of something that reminded me of the steak cooking at Ponderosa Steakhouse.
Middle school let out half days on Wednesdays. My grandmother would pock me up and treat me to the buffet there. Lovely memory.
[Don't tell my sister I got this treat!]

my “kyrsten sinema is a delusional megomaniac” take is looking better and better www.businessinsider.com/kyrsten-sine...
Kyrsten Sinema said she doesn't care if she loses reelection because she 'saved the Senate by myself...
According to the new Mitt Romney biography, Sinema thinks she single-handedly saved the Senate and can now retreat to a cushy post-Congress life.

Do people not understand that parenting is hard? That it takes work and focus? Thoughtfulness?

Do better. Damn.

This last year has brought home a valuable lesson: fall and winter hiking is more enjoyable than summer hiking.
Fewer bugs and fewer people.

Yesterday, March For Our Lives and UNC students got kicked out of the NC legislature for protesting the lack of gun control laws
Right now, UNC is on lockdown due to an armed person on campus
It's been under 3 weeks

15 minutes before the current active shooter crisis @ UNC Chapel Hill, students received an email requesting feedback on how the university responded to the shooting that occurred on campus just 2.5 weeks ago.
I hope everyone is safe and wish lawmakers actually cared

Always baffling to me when the most science forward people do the most science backward things.

Doesn't it trip out your mind just a little bit that the effort of rendering Black people less than human so that "ownership" of them & their forced labor could be so justified was so wholescale massive & powerful that we are still contending with its real reverberations everywhere to this day?

I also know that many of you will deny this outright without taking time to truly evaluate your biases because you’re one of the “good whites”

E. Bruce was another behind-the-scenes guru, all aw shucks Southern charm but a master manipulator of the public and the government.

Name something you think is an absolute scandal that no one else seems to mind.

I’ll go first: the woman who helped tobacco companies lie about the health effects of cigarettes, came up with “clean coal,” and helped invent greenwashing is the head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting 🤯
