First, fuck Bill Kristol Second, and I mean this with my entire being: throw out what the GOP will say. It doesn’t matter. No Democratic candidate for President can win without the Black vote.

We went to the beach a few weeks ago and couldn't swim due to riptides. The lifeguards had to get on their megaphones and repeatedly call back one group of dudes in their 20s who kept creeping too far out. Bros, I assure you, you are not stronger than the ocean!

Ok - this is a question I get a LOT, and am starting to get a lot again. Here are a few tips on calling electeds: 1. Try not to stress too much about the method of contact - e.g. email/calling. The important thing is getting in touch.

I'm pretty sure I saw it because my friends were taking turns showing the best worst movies we'd seen (my contribution was a low budget vampire film called Ankle Biters, I took the assignment differently 😂) but I have a fondness for movies that GO for it, whatever it is

Hello social medias...
You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.
The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.
You can help and make a difference:

This is almost word for word what I tell students. Even if you’ve been disillusioned by what’s happening at the state and federal level, you need to get out and shore up your local politics.

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:

I started my career reporting on how people were using the Internet in dictatorships, and if there's one BIG thing I learned from talking to a bunch of people who literally had served jail time for political blogging, it was "choose your battles wisely, and don't say dumb things in dumb places."

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

This week!! 💀 Folks asked frequently about the document collection when I was at a bigger institution and I calculated it out for fun (assuming a couple FT staff, which they'd never pay for) and started telling people "100 years. At which point we'll have to start all over again."

The other day I found myself saying, "I just read a lot," and I felt like a goober for being so basic, but it's true, sometimes the answer is just to read a lot of things you like and see how they did it.

Seconding wellbefore.com. I like that they have adult and kid sizes, and sometimes colors. And stores like Home Depot carry certified brands (we'd been getting them there for woodworking dust and wildfire smoke long before covid!)

I understood not including it at first, because pub lead times are long and nobody knew how the new normal would shake out. But at this point it's disorienting, like I'm watching an alt universe.
