“Men are 100% responsible for pregnancies,” says SC Sen. Katrina Shealy, R- Lexington, “Men are fertile 100% of the time. So it is time for men in this chamber- and the ones across that hall and all across the state of South Carolina- to take some ejaculation responsibility.”

So,
@BubbaWallace

This was the “garage pull” NASCAR said it found in (only) the 43 garage

Last week, I had a miscarriage.
I didn't plan on publicly discussing the loss of our twins... but the silence & lack of "real" information surrounding losing a pregnancy made me feel isolated, exacerbating one of the most physically & emotionally excruciating times of my life

Georgia Secretary of State Brad
Raffensperger says that he and his wife have received death threats, mostly on her cell phone, over the past two weeks.
The first ones were subtle, he said, and got more graphic and “vulgar” over time.
He said it's "unsettling" for his wife
I’m glad she’s ok.
Having said that…
STOP SENDING REPORTERS OUT ALONE TO RUN THEIR OWN LIVE SHOTS. Especially in the dark. Especially on the side of the road. Especially in severe weather. But really, in any circumstance, it’s usafe and unfair to the journalist AND community.

A divided Supreme Court said Monday that ballots in Wisconsin could be counted only if they are received by Election Day amidst the pandemic, dealing a victory to the Republican-led Wisconsin state legislature.
The vote was 5-3,
@Arianedevogue
reports.
Democrats lawyers argued ”confidence in Wisconsin’s electoral process will be shattered if tens of thousands of valid, timely cast absentee ballots are not counted because they arrived 2 or 3days after the election due to mail delays & other factors beyond the voters’ control.“
"A lot of people have asked me, you know, my thoughts on the individuals in the crowd that, you know, helped me or try to offer some assistance. And I think kind of the conclusion I've come to is like.... thank you. But fuck you for being there."

Both of Georgia’s (Republican) Senators are calling on the (Republican) Secretary of State to resign because they claim he "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections” — but offer zero evidence or even examples from last week to support it
Shealy's amendment fails by vote of 21-25.

According to the Dayton Police Chief, that’s how much time passed between the the shooter firing the first shot & being “neutralized” by officers.
9 people were murdered and at least 26 others were injured in THIRTY SECONDS.
I’m here.
Our camera didn’t stop recording.
More importantly, neither did the transmission pool network camera...which provides the direct, head-on camera that goes out to all 5 networks.
These lies are so crazy to me: Trump, as he has multiple times before, looked at the back of the room and claimed he just saw CNN had turned off its camera -- "the red light" went off, he said -- as he was bashing CNN. CNN did not turn off any camera.
When talking about UNCC student Riley Howell’s last living moments, his aunt tells CNN she wasn’t surprised he “ran directly at the shooter as he opened fire, and was shot "point blank" trying to take the shooter down”
Please share this beautiful statement from his family.

Why is Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger working so hard to add drop boxes and take other steps to make it harder for Republicans to win. Is he really that intimidated by Stacey Abrams?
I wish the same algorithms that targeted ads based on my "preparing for twins" & pregnancy tips searches would just as quickly notice those searches were replaced by "does a twin miscarriage last longer" & pregnancy loss-

I'm still experiencing the physical aftermath (yep. A week later, still bleeding. Had no idea how drawn out a miscarriage can be) but choosing to speak even a little, to be open about losing our twins feels like a good step for now

Jordan Anchondo died shielding her 2-month-old son from gunfire in El Paso- her aunt, Liz Terry, told CNN. The baby survived.
The 24 y/o mother of three was shopping for back to school supplies when she was murdered.
Her husband, Andre Anchondo, is still unaccounted for.
I get angry when I think about so many people suffering in silence b/c society implies that it's too messy, too uncomfortable, too sad to mention.
And I just can't justify feeling slighted by a vague society-imposed silence anymore if I, too, am silent for these reasons.
Quoting an order penned by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Kagan said that voters must now opt between “braving the polls with all the risk that entails , and losing their right to vote.”

"The baby still had her blood on him. You watch these things and see these things and you never think this is going to happen to your family. How do parents go school shopping and then die shielding their baby from bullets?"
