i'd vaguely heard about the US election in 2000 actually being "stolen" and i looked it up and it seems consensus is

- the entire US election came down to florida
- the difference in votes was <0.1%, not statistically significant
- polling machine had hardware issues way higher than <0.1%
- florida could have decided to actually and properly hand count the votes
- the state's highest supreme court decided to do that
- bush asked the supreme court to intervene in a state's free & independent ability to run its own elections
- the voting was exactly on partisan lines: the 5 republican judges declared bush the winner
- they cited reasoning that competes for one of the most transparently dishonest rulings of all time
- the single most comprehensive study after the fact found that if the votes had been properly counted, gore would have won
- this is not factoring in a calculated, well-documented attempt by republican governor of florida to suppress thousands of votes, in black counties for al gore, by the official US election commission

.@MichelleObama: "I am asking y'all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously. Please do not put our lives in the hands of politicians, mostly men, who have no clue or do not care about what we as women are going through...Please do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump, who knows nothing about us. Who has shown deep contempt for us. Because a vote for him is a vote against us. Against our health. Against our worth."

If you're 42 years old or older, the most important election of your lifetime was 2000. If you're 26-42, the most important election of your lifetime was 2016.

If you're under 26, but old enough to vote, you haven't fucked up yet, but are about to.

A little weird tho that a private business CAN choose to DENY a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class, but a private university CANNOT choose to ACCEPT a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class.

In December, we passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act.

It filled an important gap in federal protections that require employees to make reasonable accommodations for pregnant women and new moms.

With the panic around the developing Hurricane Ian, I would like to remind everyone to consider Middle Tennessee when planning your evacuation. They seem to handle hurricanes pretty well. #HurricaneIan
