The number of 3-way and 4-ways in itself is extraordinarily unique. There were 8 in 2022; 1 in 2017. There were going to be 311 this year. This is to a great extent a matter of higher turnout because this is indexed to turnout effectively.

My friend the English transwoman is voting for the first time in her life. Voting was not a big thing in her family. She was going to vote Labour, but the candidate did not support her using public restrooms, so she's voting Green. And filling out US naturalization papers.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Desegregation is being unraveled. Separate but “equal” is being reestablished. We can be defensive, or we can step up and ask for more than the preservation of the status quo.

I absolutely refuse to look down on anyone for either leaving or staying to fight, if the worst does happen in the US. Well, everyone who isn’t an able bodied straight white man. Sorry, yeah, will probably look down on you a bit.

i was just going to make a post about this. if trump decides you are an enemy of the state or a “threat to national security” and has you deported, citizenship or not, there’s nothing you can do to get home. he has full legal power to render you stateless.
