The Gaineses donated to the β€œanti-CRT” school board campaign of Chip’s sister, and once elected, she voted to adopt a sweeping policy that bans discussions of LGBTQ identities, limits lessons about racism and permits teachers to deadname trans children against parents’ wishes.

If you’re a politician or media figure who sets up the LGBTQ community to be hated and feared - not because any of us ever harmed you but because you find it useful - then don’t you dare act surprised when this kind of violence follows. Don’t you dare act surprised.

stop telling your trans friend that she’s so brave. she didn’t sign up to be brave. it’s time for you to be brave. you can start small - push back against transphobia everywhere you see it, even if it makes people uncomfortable. especially then.

important to add that part of being able to love surprise is not to always operate at max capacity. my therapist taught me that 80% of your full capacity *is* your max operating capacity. then 20% is left for when you get surprised.

Matrix multiplication is not easy to understand. Even looking at the definition used to make me sweat, let alone trying to comprehend the pattern. Yet, there is a stunningly simple explanation behind it. Let's pull back the curtain!

Warnock needs to make decisions on staffing and ad buys this week. If you haven’t given yet, today is the day. If you’ve already donated, can you do one more? It matters.
The main thing you need to know about Trump announcing for re-election is that Raphael Warnock is in a runoff and it’s exactly 3 weeks from now and we don’t just need money we need it kinda fast. secure.actblue.com/donate/wf…

Looking at the summary, it appears that what this bill would do is mandate federal recognition for marriages performed in states where it remained legal, but NOT codify the federal right to marriage set out in Obergefell.
Bipartisan group of senators say they have a deal on bill to codify same-sex marriage, and backers expect to have 60 votes needed to break a filibuster. They released details of their bill, which the Senate punted until after the elections

Millions of us walked out of our middle and high schools in 2018 demanding stronger gun laws and an end to gun violence. Few of us could vote then. Now most of us can. Fucking vote so the next generation doesn’t have to walk out.

Whatever people think of masks for covid, the evidence is super duper clear that when we all wore masks there was no flu. Epidemics dont have to β€œrun their course”—we can cut this flu season short anytime we want with masking, hand-washing, and flu vaccines.
The U.S. is officially in a flu epidemic, federal health officials say. They’re preparing to deploy troops and ventilators if necessary fortune.com/well/2022/11/04/…

The disparity between the FiveThirtyEight macro/empirical view on polling and the reality of conducting high-quality research right now is outright comical at this point nitter.gq/NateSilver538/status/1…
Replying to @NateSilver538
The barriers to entry right now in polling are fairly low. If someone thinks the averages are wrong because other firms are "flooding the zone", they can do their own polling and will get to look smart and get lots of business in 2024/26 if they're right.
