Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Folks: please be diligent about not disseminating Ann Telnaes' cartoon in a way that she's not getting the clicks on it (until she says differently). Her IP matters now more than ever.

Make it go viral but make sure she benefits.

Just 10 years ago not one of us was worried we would ever face the potential of falling under autocratic rule.

I defended my dissertation on polarization in 2015 and I would not have ever believed what is happening was possible.

Swift decline.

Wait till 2025

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.

This is what they wrote.

MUST WATCH: The race for the North Carolina Supreme Court isn't over. After the GOP candidate lost he requested two recounts that did not change the outcome. Now, he and the GOP are challenging the validity of over 60,000 ballots.

Justice Riggs and I discuss.

Pete Hegseth is unfit, unqualified & a threat to our military! This will never be “normal”!

Hegseth has a history of alleged sexual misconduct & misuse of alcohol. He holds “regressive” views on women’s freedoms, “joking that women shouldn’t have the right to vote”, opposes women serving in combat!

Three reports issued by the agency’s inspector general detailed personal attacks suffered by the scientists — including being called “stupid,” “piranhas” and “pot-stirrers” — and called on the EPA to…
