Considering the previous "draw down" was purely symbolic, I'm skeptical about what this will functionally mean. That said, for the sake of the people of Minnesota, I pray it's true and that this campaign of terror will soon be over.

i get why people are rolling their eyes ("he's just an incel who lives in his mom's basement" etc) but i've discovered thru teaching "gender & popular culture" class that Fuentes has really shaped how (at least some) young people conceptualize masculinity

Watching people fall for Josh Hawley's schtick over and over is breaking my brain

Props to @san.com for being the first news org I've seen to cite our stories debunking the claim that staffers at the Medgar and Myrlie Evers National Monument removed brochures describing Medgar Evers' assassin as racist. Dozens of other news orgs uncritically repeated the erroneous claim.

A quick note: if u find yourself face-to-face with a Mattress Firm ad starring my lovable memepooch, know that it was a legit licensing agreement and it's all on the up and up. Thank you!

lotta folks still trapped in the idea of American exceptionalism, "it can't happen here, they won't get away with it" folks it can happen, it is happening, and they are getting away with it

For a story I'm working on, I'd love to talk to VOTERS who: -Live in MISSISSIPPI & have been sent to the wrong polling place on Election Day, either due to the polling place locator or a precinct change -Live in NEVADA or COLORADO & vote at a vote center of your choice -Live in OREGON or WASHINGTON
