@KrutikaKuppalli Nope.

Right.
This is going to be an extremely long thread, because the number of ways that Covid can make you more vulnerable to other infections is *loooong*.

I see a lot of “Ladies, no one has to know who you voted for” posts and ads.

I’d like to say: Ladies, if you’re with someone you have to hide your vote from, they don’t deserve to have relational proximity to you and you should strongly consider an alternative.

I’d also like to say: Guys, if you’re voting for a sexual assaulter and/or intimidating or bullying a woman into doing the same, you’re a lousy man and a shitty human being.

@ashleyrattner British baking show, Buffy, Gilmore Girls, the Good Place ( actually don’t these are dumb but ask different questions that might be ok)

As an example of competence in the realm of incompetence you’re trying to avoid, I’m rewatching Madame Secretary

Let’s talk about why having adults in the room matters, shall we?

In the fall of 2022, you might remember Russia accusing Ukraine of preparing to use a dirty bomb against Russian troops.

This was designed as a false flag pretext to Russia using tactical nuclear weapons.

Intelligence estimates had odds at a coin flip - 50/50 - that Russia would use low-yield nuclear weapons to keep Ukraine from retaking Kherson or threatening Crimea.

So, what did the Biden administration do?

They prevented World War 3.

SecDef Austin told Russian Defense Minister Shoigu that we knew exactly what Russia was planning, and that the consequences to crossing THAT Rubicon would be unlike anything Russia had seen.

Jake Sullivan convinced Ukraine to call the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in to inspect Ukraine nuclear facilities and publicly shoot down rumors that they were building a dirty bomb.

Then, members of the administration reached out to literally everyone: China, Israel, Turkey, India, etc. and urged them to reach out to their Russian counterparts to reiterate the point: Russia would be a complete pariah on the world stage if they followed through with this plan.

Biden got President Xi of China on the phone personally, convincing Xi to publicly address the nuclear issue and to tell Putin not to go there.

Was Putin actually going to nuke Ukraine? Obviously, it didn’t happen—and it’s hard to prove a negative—but Western intelligence agencies certainly thought it was possible.

I say all of this to remind you that experience matters. Competence matters.

Trump wants to replace career civil servants with Trump loyalists if he wins. This kind of whole of government approach to any crisis would be impossible to execute in that situation.

Vote accordingly.

@DonEford Better than cold calls! Now *that* is terrifying 😀

The era of tolerating mistreatment of airline passengers with disabilities is over.

Today, our department is announcing a $50 million penalty against American Airlines for numerous serious violations of the rights of wheelchair users. https://t.co/owILXd7aYf
