Great photo essay on @SpeakerPelosi, who credits having raised 5 kids before entering politics with teaching her everything she needed to know about how to be effective in her role. #NancyPelosi

Good job America! In praise of not burning down a #democracy. Thanks @Phil_Elliot. #MidtermElections2022 #uspoli

The age of #SocialMedia is ending. Perhaps it should never have begun. The possible downfall of @Facebook and @Twitter (and others) is an opportunity – not to shift to some equivalent platform, but to embrace their ruination. #SocialNetworks

In his #concession speech, the Democrat Senate candidate in Ohio, @TimRyan, graciously explained how #democracy works, exercising the "privilege to concede." #MidtermElections2022 #uspoli
Tim Ryan: "I have the privilege to concede this race to JD Vance, bc the way this country operates is that when you lose an election you concede. You respect the will of the people. We can't have a system where if you win it's a legitimate election & if you lose someone stole it"

Cesspool or civility? Elon Musk's @Twitter at a crossroads. Users and advertisers sit tight as billionaire cleans house and take #SocialMedia platform in a new direction. #Twitter #ElonMusk

The discourse was never all that civil on Twitter. The loudest voices often drown out softer and more nuanced takes — after all, it’s much easier to rage-tweet at a perceived enemy than to try to...

Why #facts don’t change our mind. New discoveries about the human mind show the limitations of reason. Nevertheless, on Tuesday, #ElectionDay, we wish our American friends: open, mindedness, accurate, information, and intellectual integrity. #Midterms
