Access to accurate sex ed, birth control, and education in general reduce abortion rates. Not something they’re actually interested in. This is about punishing women and patriarchy. Full stop.

Thank you!

I agree that keeping Ryan in district pays off in the bigger picture. Glad to hear he’s a decent candidate, we so often have a hard time getting decent folks to run in hard to win districts. Thanks for the local context, it’s very informative!

I noticed that too, it’s a good sign.

Might I point you towards AZ 2 (after what looks like a long painful primary) and Heller’s race in NV, and thank you!

A couple thoughts, yes generally. For instance I live in Arizona which is traditionally just to the right of Atilla the Hun. However, we do have competitive congressional districts (3 of 9). Of those Dems hold 2 and traditionally money and other resources pours into those 3 races. As a result Dems hold 4 of AZ’s 9…

Yeah, I’m curious what the demographics of the district are. That said, it would be great to make Ryan have to really work to keep his seat.

Anthony Bourdain referred to Springsteen as the saint of Ashbury, which I find delightful.

Red velvet.

Just had to do this for the first time, and I must say I enjoyed it. And I hope this isn’t creepy, but thank you for the work you do.

No More Deaths sets up camps on the border that exist solely to save lives. It will hit 120 in the desert this week. ICE has started arresting people at the camps. It’s inhuman and people will die.

My Dad & I happened to be in the same city at the same time a while back on work trips. He took me out for a fancy dinner & after a martini and a glass of wine or two told me I was smarter than my siblings & proceeded to offer advice which he still does even though I’ve never taken it. Best dinner ever.

I’m so sorry you feel this way. As I texted a dear friend today, happy you do that job too day. Stay strong.

I never call my astronomer dad on Father’s Day because for the life of me I couldn’t tell you what continent he is on.

Ohhhh QEII shade is a highly entertaining thought that I am here for.

Thank you, what a read.

NPR reported that firefighters couldn’t get above the third or fourth story. There will be many many more.

I have been following this all day and it is simply heartbreaking. Just unimaginably horrific for all those involved. My heart goes out to all of you in London.

So are lobster & crabs, which are delicious.

I think the tap water in Flynt is inherently racist so covered!
