Senator #Warnock’s victory speech illustrates the stark contrast between these candidates. It’s absurd that this was even close. Nonetheless, he’s using his national spotlight to point out the voter suppression that his campaign had to overcome. There’s still time to restore the Voting Rights Act during the lame duck session. brennancenter.org/our-work/res

RIP to our Benjamin. 2014-2022. The universe threw him a crappy dice roll of bad genes that ultimately caused his early demise from illness. He was such a little cathole and we loved his spirit deeply. It’s been a rough couple days, we took him to the vet yesterday evening to help him cross the bridge as it was time. I just need to throw this to the cloud to know he was beloved.

@bigMouthCommie @evangreer JCPA was a bill that would have forced a link tax on news aggregator sites. Link taxes in general backfire horribly and are counterproductive.

The Jan. 6th Committee will be making criminal referrals! Yes, that’s plural. Besides the orange one, who else might be in the barrel with him?

Do you know how serious you have to be about white nationalism to be called a "White Nationalist" by the Washington Post? This is not a drill. Uber is going to hate this.

Can’t remember when anything made me so angry as this New Yorker piece by @AvaKofman about how hospice became a racket. During the past 2 decades hospice went from being mostly nonprofit to being mostly for-profit; the number owned by hedge funds tripled. propublica.org/article/hospice

Hello to all.
I no longer feel safe on Twitter.
Please be patient as I learn a new format!

Done with the first of three final exams.
The next exam is tomorrow. The third is on the 12th.
I seem to have forgotten the stress of exams after 3 years of working on a doctorate and 2 years of looking for work during a recession.

I just read all 103 pages of the EU regulations that would cover #Twitter.
It's time to start reporting to them the actions #Musk is taking that harm people. They won't act immediately, but they need to see how he's enabling "actual & foreseeable negative effects in relation to gender-based violence, the protection of public health & minors & serious negative consequences to the person's physical & mental well-being"
