What I've learned from Heated Rivalry discourse, it's that women are fucking SAD. Like in a bone-deep, trenchfoot-of-the-heart kind of way — there's a hopelessness that has been buried in the backyard of our minds for years, and it feels like the dog just dug it up, so to speak.

Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, etc. are not required to be accessible to people with disabilities — A carve out in the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is an even bigger problem than usual when religious institutions are polling places.
Something you may not know: religious institutions like churches are exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act. But 20 percent of all polling places are in religious institutions, meaning many people with disabilities are denied the right to vote msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opin…
