I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein. When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention. I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life. Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different. When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation. But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense. Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process. Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession. He was a terrible president. In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way. This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege. My point is: Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000. Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos. There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two. Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.

What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!

When asked how fascism starts, Bertrand Russell replied: "First they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent."

Some folks think we’re just running against Trump. We’re not, we’re running against SCOTUS, Musk, Kushner, Koch Bros, Leonard Leo, Putin, KSA, Harlan Crow, Ken Griffin and a hundred other bozo billionaires. Vote Blue.

Mikey, listen to me I have CONCEPTS of a plan

@BasedMikeLee You ran to make one of the worst people in the history of the country a dictator and end democracy. Keep your eye on the ball.

Senate and House Republicans: don’t sell your soul for an omnibus you haven’t seen. Don’t support a bill you’ll never have a chance to read. Just say “no” to The Firm™️ and its manipulative, soul-crushing tactics. You didn’t run for office to be servile acolytes to The Firm™️.

There's genuine confusion about why the Christian right wants to ban IVF. "Don't they want women to be mothers?" folks ask. No. They want women to be second class. Forced childbirth is one weapon. But so is denying motherhood to others. My explainer. salon.com/2024/02/23/ala…

Also in the Alabama ruling on frozen embryos is this: “Doctors must create just one embryo at a time. Each embryo, no matter how poor its quality, must be transferred. Only one embryo may be transferred at a time. If the cycle fails, the whole process must start all over again. IVF patients would have to accept the transfer of a single low-quality embryo that is certain to fail—and to do so one embryo at a time. Each transfer requires months’ worth of expensive medication, including injectable, both before and after the procedure. And each failed cycle requires the patient to start all over again. Most states (including Alabama) do not require insurance to cover IVF, and each cycle can cost up to $30,000. This would force patients—the ones who can afford it—to undergo doomed, single-embryo transfers, one by one.” If you know ANYONE who has been through IVF, you know exactly how fucking cruel this is.
