BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Yes. I have extended family in these communities, many who were fractured by the rise of Trumpism. But the alliance runs deep and share beliefs in shared Aryan identity w superiority complexes that run back to the roots of Nazi ideology. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/201....

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this: Ryan Murphy is the white analog for Tyler Perry (or Lee Daniels, depending on the project)

Everybody opposed to authoritarianism and oligarchy should needs to stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are likely going on strike starting November 13 This is a winnable fight — but it'll take all of our support to help workers get past the finish line

wish I was here

As a Chicagoan it's against the law for me to be happy for/envious of NYC, but I'll allow it tonight, as a li'l treat

I could not disagree more. There are many reasons that MMR is given as one shot. Separating it out means: -Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason -Three times as many doc visits -Three times more shitty days for baby -Three times more copays -Three times more work absences

Future opinion is uncertain, and conditioning too many of your decisions on current surveys will lead you to craft bad strategies that leave you stuck in the past (in this case, for Dems, that means losing) www.gelliottmorris.com/p/how-much-s...

yes, what i look for when assessing the quality of a poll is crosstab errors that are at least 90 points. preferably more. if your subgroup estimates are close to the result, that’s actually bad

We launched just five months ago, and since then, we’ve led the way in fearless reporting on the reproductive rights and justice beat. We've done that as a team of two working part-time—now we need your help to make our work sustainable. Help us raise $50,000 by 12/31 with a tax-deductible gift:

worth noting that tear gas is associated with a variety of reproductive health issues

“An inanimate object is not inherently lethal or less lethal. It’s the intent of the operator ... If I take a 40 mm [rubber baton] and shoot you in the face with the intent of killing you, is that less lethal launcher now a lethal launcher?” The weapons feds use in/around Chicago (by Bob Chiarito)

Abortion access is pretty directly on the ballot right now in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia—and the California ballot measure, Prop 50, could have nationwide implications for reproductive freedom. Me in @democracydocket.com

I feel as though it’s not calling out of work if you’re not getting paid to work in the first place.

One of the disconnects between academic and not-academia is that there are still Professors giving assignments to their students to interview very busy people. It's so unfair to the busy people and to the students.

good piece. and nirav shah gets it exactly right — grievance and retribution are trump’s motivations for destroying our nation’s public health agency. as simple and horrific as that.

BREAKING: economist discovers “second shift,” a concept coined by sociologists almost 50 years ago; gives it new, stupider, and less explicitly labor-oriented name

Yesterday, the Associated Press published a story about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers that illustrates perfectly how traditional notions of journalistic objectivity and “both sides” coverage fail to meet the current moment—and even facilitate the spread of disinformation.

i am busy moving for the third time in three days so i haven’t clocked in for a lot of things but i genuinely hope every org doing good things in their community managed to recruit new and excited people to their membership today
