Leaving this account up for now, untended but existing. You can find me in the elsewhere spaces.

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

Check up on your good-in-a-crisis folks this week. They are digging deep right now.

This is not a line outside a poll site. This is a line of Harris volunteers filling up six buses on W. 62nd St., headed to PA this a.m. This is why we are gonna win it.

Dan Rather is right

If you're someone who's concealing your Harris vote from people in your life, even from people in your own home, just know that SO MANY of us are cheering for your choice. Take heart and vote your conscience.

overheard at work today: "university of north carolina, chappell roan"

When I was on line to vote yesterday in North Carolina , there was a poll worker making an announcement that " Only one person is allowed in the booth and husbands and wives MAY NOT go in together." Wow. ( This is 2024, right? ) And God Bless you, Sir.

Agreed. So much deeper than Dobbs. They won't stop taking whatever they can. Project 2025 proves that.

If Trump loses, Republicans will unite to blame one single ugly joke about Puerto Rico, because it will be too painful to face the truth about Dobbs, January 6, and the toxic repulsiveness of the MAGA movement.

Can't stop thinking about that Selzer Iowa poll. You could be voting in a battleground state, no matter where you are, without knowing it. Show up accordingly.

Sen. Raphael Warnock tells @NBCNews Trump's 'protect women' comment "sounds rather ominous coming from the mouth of a convicted sexual predator. We don't need a predator, we need a president in the Oval Office, and that person is clearly Kamala Harris."

If Selzer is correct, and the rest of the polls are off, then we need to have a reckoning for how the media was deliberately creating a situation that would fuel conspiracy theories and violent riots. This is the third time in eight years. People's careers need to end over this.

Trump just said he wouldn’t mind if the press gets shot while talking about gaps in the bulletproof glass around him. “I don't have a piece of glass there…and to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news & I don't mind that much. I don't mind that.”
