This morning I cross-referenced our school opening safety checklist vs what district agreed to, calculated that you’d need approx 198 hrs to read names of all dead from COVID19 & wrote a song called “Mike Pence Can Eat a Dick” so on the whole I’m having a pretty productive Friday
@mattyglesias No, they should not. I'm still alive and make royalties I earned on my books. My kids should inherit my work, not be given free to freeloaders.
The disappointing performance of a number of House Dem challengers in different places as well as Senate candidates suggests to me something akin to a fairly significant polling miss rather than everyone of those races were run poorly.
@caulkthewagon I actually think I can get critical mass in my office to do this, presuming anyone’s still willing to look at their phones tomorrow morning.
@prisonculture He has a militia & he has some militarized police forces. He does *not* have the US military. (As an anti-war activist & sister of an active combat vet, I cannot BELIEVE that that’s what’s comforting me right now, but it is 2020 so I dunno why I’m surprised by anything anymore.)
@AmanitheTender1@schuylerocks@prisonculture There are lots and lots of working class kids who enlist to pay for school or because it’s their best option. They will not protect this man. And fwiw, even the leadership of the US military is not into chaos, or being handed unilateral decrees by an uninformed dotard.
This is the biggest decarceration moment in NJ history, and the most pivotal criminal justice reform during the pandemic. I’ve received calls from leaders across the US asking how they can replicate this in their states. We can’t allow detractors to distract us. Don’t lose focus.
Officials: We won't have the vote count we expected tonight in Fulton County, home to Atlanta and a tenth of all Georgians. Absentee-by-mail processing at State Farm Arena was delayed 4 hours because a water pipe burst in a room. Officials say no ballots were damaged. @ajc#gapol
USPS turned down a federal judge’s order this afternoon to sweep mail processing facilities serving 15 states after the agency disclosed that more than 300,000 ballots nationwide could not be traced.
