I will literally add this in my head every time I read some iteration of "the data came from a nationally representative survey" going forward. Anyone who thinks data can't lie has never actually worked closely with data.

[David Powell @thedavidpowell]

Our data set is composed of a nationally-representative sample of people who answer calls from unknown numbers and then provide personal information about themselves.

dude is a barely coherent convicted sex predator whose only platform is wanting to do more crimes, what is fucking happening

I can play it by ear if I have advance notice that we are going to be playing it by ear

So far today we learned that Trump secretly gave away our COVID supplies to Putin, that Trump quashed the 4500 tips about Kavanaugh’s rape allegations, & that Kamala Harris is going to expand Medicare to cover home care for seniors and hearing/vision.

So those are your options.

I hate having to share this, but I know I’m not alone. I had a miscarriage post-Roe while visiting family in Texas in 2022. I almost died — after 7-8 hours of begging, I got an emergency D&C and transfusion. They don’t mind letting women die. https://t.co/2LzCD12XNC

I bring a sort of “why do we do it this way” vibe to the work place that most don’t like

We're getting our first look at the devastation in Western NC, what officials are now calling "Buncombe County's own Hurricane Katrina."
County Emergency Management held a press conference this afternoon, calling the damage "biblical." Here's what we learned:

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

In America, freedom is not to be given. It is not to be bestowed. It is our right.

That includes the fundamental freedom of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Wow.

Remember—they have to stigmatize us bc we are happier without them

Just your regular reminder that the $15/hr debate has been going on for so long that the actual living wage is now around $26/hr.

[Sara Spector @Miriam2626]

I prosecuted sexual assault cases in Texas.
I prosecuted these cases for 17 years.
I never prosecuted an undocumented immigrant for rape.
I prosecuted multiple Christian pastors for rape.
As a descendant of a holocaust survivor, I have to speak up against this hate.

we should put air purifiers in literally every building

[The United States versus Elon Reed Musk @Needle_of_Arya]

The entire student loan issue is a thing because 55-45 years ago, nearly every American state slowly stopped fully supporting higher education and making students bear more of the burden just as segregation was melting away and more minority students began attending college.

[Cat Herding Science Nerd @catladyactivist]

I take ALL precautions.

But I'm grateful for those who take SOME precautions.

Because most people are taking NONE.

Don't dogpile those who don't do it 100%. This is likely to push them to "fine, f*ck it" not "gee, being treated like sh*t makes me want to try harder".

Charge. The. Fucking. Parents.

Then unseat every lawmaker who made it easy for this child to kill four people at school with a weapon of war.

[Ben Wexler @mrbenwexler]

Democrats are having fun, talking like normal human beings, playing offense, and incredibly united. I’ve been waiting my whole adult life to see this.
