Shout out to all the election workers who are about to get up and work for 13 hours and then count all the votes while worried about some weirdo threatening them. Thanks.

Not a big NS guy, but he’s right. In local races it’s been happening for weeks. Some really smart people are giving really silly/misinformed/wrong takes bc they’re so committed to their own candidate and/or blinded by desperation and human bias

Bascially everyone loses 25 IQ points in the final 2 weeks of an election campaign, it's like showing up to a party where everyone is 6 drinks in.

@TwiterTwouble I have to regularly remind myself that the RVA Twittersphere does not necessarily reflect RVA at large.

Another day passes and still there are people that don't know that Sweet Home Alabama is a response to Neil Young's anti-lynching song and defends George Wallace fight against desegregation.

The Google commercial where the dad has his daughter use AI to construct a note to her favorite athlete rather than encourage her to write what she actually wants to tell her hero takes a little chunk out of my soul every time I see it.

The #1 most progressive Delegate on our annual scorecard is freshman phenom @Rae_Cousins23! She took on fixing the difficult earned sentence credit problem, reducing indigent defense fees, & we got to hear her talk about bifurcation a bunch 🤪! Thank you for outstanding voting!

Wrote a book about media and democracy in the digital era and one clear takeaway is that any model of democratic politics that still assumes a minimally sound relationship between cause and effect should be discarded immediately

It's often said: White kids, upon being taught the history of racism, will feel guilty or bad about being White. In fact, White kids who receive antiracist history lessons exhibit fewer racist ideas about Black people while their attitudes about White people are unaffected.

While we're talking affirmative action, 43% of white students admitted to Harvard in 2019 were legacies, athletes or related to staff/donors.

“Cisgender” is not a slur. It is a term used used in scientific, legal, medical, and everyday contexts.

The attempt to make “cis” a slur is a blatant attempt to erase trans identities from a supposed “free speech absolutist.”

Trans people exist. Cis people exist.
