@UrbanOutfitters, I ordered three hoodies from you on 12/7. Tracking info says that it was returned to sender on 12/14? How come? And apparently, no one at @UOHelpMe can help me because, although I purchased on your site, it was a marketplace seller? #UOHelpme

I hate to admit this, but I woke up at 2 am with a pit in my stomach and I was like... did it happen? And it did.

"I think what we're finding is that the presence of those ballot initiatives actually gave some subset of women voters a permission structure that allowed them to go into the ballot booth and vote their interests on securing abortion rights and then pivot..." - @ProfMMurray

@alikat747 I did not ever say that referenda are a panacea. In fact, I said the opposite.In this election they allowed a certain subset of women voter to vindicate their interest in abortion rights while pivoting to vindicate their economic interests w/ Trump.

@alikat747 Walk that back, friend. I did not say that. I said it is likely that ballot referenda can be more effectively used in the midterms. And then I laid out the hellscape that will unfold across three branches of government. Keep my name outta this nonsense.

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY. Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.

K-Hive to Ann Selzer RN:

No matter where you are, stay in line. Your vote matters.

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

Worth repeating: The Florida amendment is sitting at 57% approval, which is enough to pass in any other state. It only failed because of the threshold.
