Kate Sills for Congress (CA-05)
www.katesills.com
My name is Kate Sills, and I'm running for Congress for my brother.
He's in the Navy & our military is being asked to kill civilians.
These are unlawful orders.
Now Trump has called for people like me, who are standing up for our military, to be hanged.
Can you help me?

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Ooh, just saw “without Asimov there would be no science fiction,” and no, you stale crouton, you waterlogged saltine, without Mary Shelley—harassed by her husband and Lord Byron—there would be no science fiction.
You’re confusing fandom for canon.

We must rein in ICE

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

So much of GOP conspiracy land is simply not understanding how counting works. No one is ever “ahead” or “behind” until the counting is over.
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is:
The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

I will say again, for the people in the back: the art of politics in a democracy is not merely counting votes. It is reframing issues in a way that CHANGES votes. It is making the case for what is impossible today, so it becomes more possible tomorrow.

You go to the polls saying "Look at all the terrible stuff we uncovered, and they absolutely REFUSE to fix it or hold anyone accountable. So your only option left is to throw THEM out."

That is why strategically selective impeachment matters, even when you "fail" to win conviction and removal. In fact, failing to get conviction and removal may be the whole point, if you want to portray your opposition as unwilling or unable to address real wrongs.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

This is the business in Uptown that got randomly tear-gassed by ICE a few weeks ago. Guess they didn’t like it
Large banner hangs over a building at Lake Street and Lyndale Avenue on a snowy morning.
It reads "ICE OUT OF MN" "FOR GOOD" with the names of those killed by federal agents.

Starting to suspect that the reason women are so underrepresented at the highest echelons of society may not be our timid socialization....
I was curious about the fact that there were seemingly no women scientists mentioned, even of equivalent caliber, and came across what is, seemingly, beef between Epstein and Brockman debating whether "the women are all weak" or not
