Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.
He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.
Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
Because I am getting this question dozens of times in my DMs from trans people/parents... If you're trying to move for safety:
Countries: Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Spain, France.
States: Any blue state on my risk assessment map, which I'll update post-election.
There are a lot of lessons to learn:
- you have to win to wield power
- you can’t “teach your side a lesson” by helping them lose
- other minority groups want to be white & will vote alongside white interests even when it hurts them
- black people consistently vote pragmatically
On CNN, @davidplouffe said that after reviewing latest EV data, ED projections & how undecideds are breaking, “we have a credible pathway to all 7 states" to go for Harris, "but we think they’re all going to be close.”
You think you could win all 7?
“Yes," Plouffe said.
@AshaRangappa_@Uber I can relate but yes, I have been in cars that reek of cigarettes & stinky scents designed to cover it up. The combo is cloying & sickly - makes me queasy & headachy. Any strong aroma = not good! I feel bad re single driver; they need to make a living. a policy would be welcome!
So much for “Democracy Dies in Darkness”. This is the most hypocritical, chicken shit move from a publication that is supposed to hold people in power to account.
If you are not sure who to vote for, just understand that a bunch of billionaires want Donald Trump to win and a bunch of unions want Kamala Harris to win.
Kamala Harris: Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable. And in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions.
