The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view.
The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

A reminder that Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins, is a huge Donald Trump supporter — the same Trump who supports giving ALL police immunity from prosecution. Do with that what you will.

This is a crucially important observation:
.@RadioFreeTom says JD Vance's comments on childcare underscore his apparent belief that "everyone else is just there to be a supporting player in the life of people like [him]. Your grandmother, your aunt and uncle, they don't really have lives, they're just there to help you."

Media will likely tell you that Trump lies too much to be fact checked in real time. But most of us could do it in our sleep because he tells the same lies over and over.
Here are some of the lies we can expect that the moderators should be ready to rebut:
1. Post birth abortions
2. 10-20M immigrants
3. Crime is up
4. Border crossings are up
5. Harris was the “border czar”
6. Harris “turned black”
7. He created more jobs
8. He created more black and Hispanic jobs
9. His unemployment rate was lower
10. Tariffs aren’t a taxes on Americans
11. Climate change is a hoax
These are just some of the extremely predictable lies that @ABC should be prepared to fact check.

Please immediately retweet this ad from Jan 6 Police Officer Harry Dunn announcing his campaign for congress. We have all seen how quickly twitter likes to bury these ads and news. Let’s make sure EVERYONE sees this:

Imagine waking up in a world where kids are regularly late to school because districts can't afford to pay bus drivers a living wage and writing an op-ed saying Georgia should pass vouchers since "education is fully funded"

Disprove this "snowflake" garbage once & for all.
Ask your son:
Who is more of a delicate "snowflake" - the person who gets offended by racism/sexism & actively wants to help end bigotry? Or the person who is offended by people saying happy holidays instead of merry Christmas?

I’ve gotten a lot of new followers lately, so it’s a good day to urgently remind everyone that ALL clothing is handmade. It doesn’t matter if it’s a $2 t-shirt or $20,000 couture, someone had to make it. We don’t have automatic clothes-sewing machines.

What Makes Me Happy
my family, my writing, my breathing, the trees in my back yard, the way the deer wander through them slowly, cereal in the morning, wine in the evening, a back porch that is screened in, a granddaughter who loves to practice her ballet everywhere.

Gov. Tate Reeves cut off a federal program that helps poor Mississippians afford rent in an effort to "improve our workforce participation rate."
But 80% of applicants are employed or looking. The other 20% are disabled or elderly. Most are Black women.mississippifreepress.org/262…

Someone just asked me if it’s true that ADD meds are more addictive than heroin. I’ve forgotten to take my ADD meds for the last three days in a row. If you can forget you’re addicted to heroin then yeah, it’s probably the same thing.

"There’s something about grandmothers."
So starts the latest post on our LSU Press blog, in which @TheTackySouth authors Katharine A. Burnett and @MonicaCMiller are inspired by a phenomenon they've noticed at their book's publicity events. bit.ly/lsupburnettmillerblog
