To recap. Democrats lost:
-White House
-US Senate
-Electoral College
-Governors Races
-Popular Vote
-Are on cusp of losing the House
If anyone really thinks its because 51% of the country is xenophobicβ€”& not because Dems ignored their own baseβ€”it explains why Dems lost so badly.

It is estimated that we spend $322,000 for each enemy we kill, while we spend in the so-called War on Poverty in America only about $53 for each person classified as "poor." And much of that $53 goes for salaries of people who are not poor...

Maryland faces last-minute decision on troubled prison health care provider A deadline is looming at the end of the year for Maryland to decide whether to keep or replace the troubled, for-profit company that provides medical care in state prisons and the Baltimore City jail ...

Maryland waited until the last minute to seek alternatives to its troubled prison health care provider.

The current provider is a for-profit company spun off from a company in bankruptcy that’s been sued in Maryland and elsewhere for poor quality care.

A photo of a seat in an Alaska Airlines 737 Max showing all the black padding ripped off, there's a huge but neat hole in the plane showing a car outside parked on the tarmac. The oxygen masks are deployed.

apparently yet another 737 MAX experienced an incident, the side blew out and nearly took a seat with it in flight, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282. The mother had to hold onto their child in that seat who lost their shirt. Several phones were ripped out of passenger hands.

your neighborhood software girl here. none of this should be a priority now, especially not stuff like circles and video. instead:

- first-class accessibility
- app-based auth code 2FA
- notification tab needs a deep rethink
- search needs investment (this includes tags as part of feature work)
