the reason the pundits and polls "missed how mad women are about roe" is because the vast majority of narrative discourse is set by men and anchored by their assumptions, which have a higher likelihood of being wrong bc they're barely pressure-tested

In Krystale Littlejohn’s latest book, Fighting Mad: Resisting the End of Roe v. Wade, she addresses the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned the nearly 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion in the US.

Bruce Springsteen formally endorses Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in a new video where he calls Donald Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime.”

“Hi, I'm Bruce Springsteen. Friends, fans, and the press have asked me who I'm supporting in this most important of elections.

And with full knowledge that my opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens, here's my answer: I'm supporting Kamala Harris for President and Tim Waltz for Vice President and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Here's why.

We are shortly coming upon one of the most consequential elections in our nation's history. Perhaps not since the Civil War has this great country felt as politically, spiritually, and emotionally divided as it does then at this moment.

It doesn't have to be this way.

The common values, the shared stories that make us a great and united nation are waiting to be rediscovered and retold once again.

Now that will take time, hard work, intelligence, faith and women and men with the national good, guiding their hearts.

America's the most powerful nation on earth. Not just because of her overwhelming military strength or economic power, but because of what she stands for, what she means, what she believes in: freedom, social justice, equal opportunity, the right to be and love who you want.

These are the things that make America great.

Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for President in my lifetime. His disdain for the sanctity of our constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law, and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of President ever again.

He doesn't understand the meaning of this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American.

On the other hand, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are committed to a vision of this country that respects and includes everyone regardless of class, religion, race, your political point of view or sexual identity, and they want to grow our economy in a way that benefits all, not just the few like me on top. That's the vision of America I’ve been consistently writing about for 55 years now.

Everybody sees things different, and I respect your choice as a fellow citizen, but like you, I've only got one vote, and it's one of the most precious possessions that I have.

That's why come November 5th, I'll be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Casten: Since we will not be together on Halloween, I thought I would share spooky stories with you. These. all real and lifted from the Project 2025. The Department of Education should be eliminated. Eliminate the head start program… And no public education employee should use a name to address a student other than the name listed on their birth certificate. And this will be a problem for James Donald Bowman, James David Hamel, JD Hamel, or as they now identify J.D. Vance.

Unfortunately, academic inflation and toxic productivity culture has all but done away with this. The effects of this on science advancement will be seen for generations. Slowing down and thinking deeply is essential to solve complex problems and it’s undervalued at every level.

6) Thought experiment: Imagine that in November 2008, immediately after Barack Obama was elected, sweeping in Democratic majorities of 60 seats in the Senate and 256 in the House, you sank into a coma. Revived today, you would be told that Donald Trump was ahead or tied in polling (however unreliable) despite leading an insurrection; that in the next election, after two thirds of Republicans in Congress voted to reject the results of the 2020 election, the GOP flipped control of the House, and elevated successive election-deniers to the Speakership; that the Voting Rights Act was all but repealed; that Roe v. Wade had been overturned; that the wealthy and corporations are free to make unlimited expenditures in elections, more than doubling the cost of federal ones; that the South was again largely in the grip of one-party authoritarian regimes; and that the right to own a AR-15 was the one of the few remaining freedoms Americans could confidently claim.

And then you were told that NONE of those changes were the result of Congressional legislation. What would you conclude?

It’s all fruit of the poisoned tree.

BREAKING: Over 4,000 Volkswagen workers in Tennessee just joined the @UAW in a landslide.

They’re the first American workers to win a union at a non-union car company in decades.

This historic victory will change the auto industry, and the future of American labor.
