11/11 So Trump and his team *in their own words*: -Knew they lost -Knew it was not legal for Pence to over turn -Knew the states did not have fraud issues -Researched "alternative electors" a month in advanced of those claims -Knew the documents were unofficial -Took part in the transfer process -And attempted to pass off forged documents directly to the VP -Because of a pre-meditated plan to steal the election. The first volumes represent 1889 pages of evidence, 70% still under seal. This is just from the 30% unsealed, and there are more volumes to go. The case could not be more clear. And as a reminder, Trump's team refused to dispute the authenticity of any of this evidence, they only ask for it to be delayed as it would "hurt their client" during the election.

For those on the fence about voting, I'll share something my grandma told me before she passed. Always remember that you aren't just bringing yourself to The Ballot Box when you vote. You bring with you everyone who died so that you have the right to vote, everyone who sacrificed and risked their lives so that we all have an equal seat at the table, and the people no longer with us who would vote if they could. It is completely understandable to be hesitant about the people running for president, but we cannot lose sight of the fact that we have to vote so that we aren't stuck fighting battles our parents and grandparents already won.

Watch how young men today don't know that a woman couldn't get a credit card until 1974 — explains huge gender gap among Gen Z! Mom couldn't get credit until year my sister was born. After Roe gave woman bodily autonomy in 1972, it led to more financial equality in just 2 years. Prior to that, women needed their husbands, fathers, or brothers to cosign for a loan or credit card. When one right of a woman is under attack, all women's rights are under attack. There is a direct correlation. Please vote accordingly. #DemVoice1 #wtpBLUE #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

This is such an amazing answer from Kamala Harris on Sarah Huckabee Sanders insulting her “I don't think she understands that there are a whole lot of women out here who are not aspiring to be humble. This is not the 1950s anymore.” Spot on.

Thank you for doing so much for the #glycotime community! @TranslGlycOmics! Wonderful meeting so many talented glycoscientists and catching up with familiar faces. That Mannose cookie was delicious!
Aaron Petry - glycosaminoglycans and platelets - you are missing Glyco-cookies as well!
