It is okay to be a vigilant anti-war activist. It is okay to oppose militarism. It is okay to acknowledge that state violence begets more violence. Wage peace. Be unapologetic. Speak up.

You're talking about women of every race who for 6 years have organized & organized and donated & donated, without kudos, and saved this country from the GOP. Your job as a D leader is to listen to them, align yourself with them, and lead them into battle. Harris-Walz did this.

“I always tell people, buy the worst copy you can find…” A 1605 Geneva “breeches” Bible, owned by a Naomy Richman, with her initials to the boards. It looks as if it is trying to simultaneously eat itself & spit itself out, and, if I tried to collate it, would probably eat me.

if you were a mopey 20-year-old in 1983, certain that sweet spot new order circa 1983 was the soundtrack to your life, you now have the exquisite pleasure, forty years on, to hear sweet spot new order circa 1983 as the soundtrack to your . . . cannibal love-story road film

This is a lie. I’m unapologetically pro-life and I’ll keep working to save as many lives as possible. I support exceptions for rape, incest, & life of the mom. @LizMathis1 supports elective abortion up until birth - she’s the only one in this race who is extreme on abortion.

By deputizing teachers to police families and denying trans students any semblance of safety, Glenn Youngkin is being very clear: If you don't raise your children to his liking, then he doesn't want Virginia to be a safe place to raise those children.

Who tf “wanted” a student loan?
Nobody *wanted* a PPP loan, people took them as a lifeline when the government forced their businesses to close during the pandemic. Comparing that to student loan forgiveness seems shaky to me

The government helps rich people pay their loans every day
Here's a chart showing the distribution of benefits from student loan forgiveness. Just, kidding, it's the distribution of benefits from the mortgage interest deduction, which costs about $250 billion every 10 years (and will cost more if TCJA isn't extended after 2025)
