The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view.

The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

A reminder that Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter — the same Trump who supports giving ALL police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.

This is a crucially important observation:

[Mueller, She Wrote @MuellerSheWrote]

Media will likely tell you that Trump lies too much to be fact checked in real time. But most of us could do it in our sleep because he tells the same lies over and over.

Here are some of the lies we can expect that the moderators should be ready to rebut:

1. Post birth abortions
2. 10-20M immigrants
3. Crime is up
4. Border crossings are up
5. Harris was the “border czar”
6. Harris “turned black”
7. He created more jobs
8. He created more black and Hispanic jobs
9. His unemployment rate was lower
10. Tariffs aren’t a taxes on Americans
11. Climate change is a hoax

These are just some of the extremely predictable lies that @ABC should be prepared to fact check.

Let’s also make sure Harry Dunn has the biggest first day possible for his campaign. Here is his ActBlue: https://t.co/iDmyPos0h6

Please immediately retweet this ad from Jan 6 Police Officer Harry Dunn announcing his campaign for congress. We have all seen how quickly twitter likes to bury these ads and news. Let’s make sure EVERYONE sees this:

Imagine waking up in a world where kids are regularly late to school because districts can't afford to pay bus drivers a living wage and writing an op-ed saying Georgia should pass vouchers since "education is fully funded"

Disprove this "snowflake" garbage once & for all.

Ask your son:

Who is more of a delicate "snowflake" - the person who gets offended by racism/sexism & actively wants to help end bigotry? Or the person who is offended by people saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas?

[R.S. Williams @WilliamsWrite]

Exactly this! Intervene as soon as you see the signs (scroll up/down for entire thread)

[joanna schroeder @iproposethis]

These are often boys from progressive or moderate families - but their online behavior & viewing habits are often ignored.

Here's an early red flag: if your kid says "triggered" as a joke referring to people being sensitive, he's already being exposed & on his way.

Intervene!

[R.S. Williams @WilliamsWrite]

Very important thread here

Do you have white teenage sons?

Listen up.

I've been watching my boys' online behavior & noticed that social media and vloggers are actively laying groundwork in white teens to turn them into alt-right/white supremacists.

Here's how:

Biden aides are going to spend a lot of time on social media over the next day engaged in their favorite pastime - what they call “pundit accountability”

I’ve gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it’s a good day to urgently remind everyone that ALL clothing is handmade. It doesn’t matter if it’s a $2 t-shirt or $20,000 couture, someone had to make it. We don’t have automatic clothes-sewing machines.

What Makes Me Happy

my family, my writing, my breathing, the trees in my back yard, the way the deer wander through them slowly, cereal in the morning, wine in the evening, a back porch that is screened in, a granddaughter who loves to practice her ballet everywhere.
