California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Old school cast iron will always be the best. And I do love my Le Creuset. But I love my antique made-to-sit-in-a-wood-fire-stove pieces better.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

GOALS. I want a tattoo with some kind of knitting image that says 'knit fast die warm' in a combination of Latin and Old English.

Yeeeesssssssss.....also, if you've ever been to Canada, we have a glorious institution called the Bulk Barn, where they not only sell candy corn, but all sorts of Hallowe'en-esque shapes in individual flavours.

Love it!! What a fantastic range. Out of curiosity, are you bringing in gender-fluidity/non-human discussions? Something I've always been curious about in Mediaeval texts.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: β€œI have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

"The president was never inappropriate with anyone."

Pardon me if I don't consider Ghislaine Maxwell, someone who used to prowl Middle Schools looking for young girls to rape, an expert on what's appropriate behavior.

If someone tells you that they are running a reproductive justice organization but there are no Black women at the organizationβ€”only white womenβ€”they're not running a reproductive justice organization. End of.

We can't just unquestioningly accept people's labels for themselves. It's ridiculous.
