There might be an essay in this issue where I meditate on the idea of motherhood, and loss, and my hometown serial killer. Just maybe 😉

150 billionaire families spent $1.9B on the 2024 election through October. It's a huge amount of money — but it represents just 0.07% of their overall wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in cash. We must get big money out of our politics.

Stop buying books from this man. – at Mebane, NC
Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory. No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love.

If they had a lick of sense and an ounce of bravery they would go scorched earth in these final months. Lost the presidency and the senate? Just do it. But I don’t think they have it in them.
The Biden administration should cancel all federal student debt tomorrow. Ignore the courts. Use immunity powers. Get it done.

To all the young trans people who are understandably scared right now, my best advice is to learn your history. Read everything you can. Read about all the awful and terrible ways this country has tried to suppress us and read about all the ways we've survived in spite of it all.

Stay alive. Even if it’s out of spite, stay alive. Be present. People care about you, even if your country doesn’t.

There are a lot of people that are terrified right now. Yes, that includes me and my family…what I’m saying is hang onto each other and be there for each other. We are all processing this.

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

If your vote didn’t matter, there wouldn’t be fake bomb threats.

Students are having their votes massively suppressed by the DeSantis Regime at the biggest school in Florida of over 50,000 students. This needs to be a national news story. This is blatant election interference by @RonDeSantis and his appointed minion @OCFElections
The lines to vote at the University of Central Florida are 2 to 3 hours long and have been for the past week. Meanwhile, at other early voting locations with older populations it’s 10 minutes. ⁦@OCFElections⁩ is suppressing the youth vote. This is election interference.

Women have been collectively convinced that pregnancy is a health-neutral event and I am here to tell you that this is a tactic used to suppress freedom of informed choice.

The number of people who are fooled by posts that are very obviously AI is frankly terrifying.
