Last night I met up with my favorite English teacher, a lifelong friend who teaches both high school and college courses. In thirty-five years of teaching, she has never been more worried about her students.

This viral tweet and accompanying video is a textbook example of how racists distort and manipulate media to incite pile-ons. Their target seems to be a lovely young woman but she isn't white and that's all the excuse these racists need. Here's the truth behind the video: /1

So Cobb County just mailed absentee ballots out today, a judge said they have until the 8th by 5 to get them in long as they’re post marked by the 5th; but Cobb County GOP appealed & the GA Supreme Court just ruled they have to be in tomorrow by 7pm. This is voter suppression

I asked MAGA “How much do you think undocumented immigrants pay in taxes?” They all answered ZERO. I explained that in 2022 undocumented immigrants paid $95 billion into Social Security and Medicare even though they don’t qualify for either.

If you were going to choose a metaphor for the 2024 Republican Party, a garbage truck chauffeuring around a billionaire traveling around in circles and going nowhere, all for a photo op, is pretty spot on.
He’s just out on the tarmac having someone drive him around in circles. Why do I feel like this will become the defining meme for his entire campaign?

This is the single best thing I've read about our politcal economics & how voters are consistently wrong about a subject they've never studied.
My close friend, David Shreve, who I often refer to as the smartest person I have ever known, explains why voting for Republicans because of “the economy” is completely insane.

"We are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised." -- That was a really strong speech from Kamala Harris. Here's how she brought it home.

Rudy Giuliani: “The Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old. They won’t let a Palestinian in Jordan.. in Egypt. And Harris wants to bring them to you. “They may have good people. I’m sorry, I don’t take a risk with people that are taught to kill Americans at two.”
