Barack Obama made an unannounced stop at the Harris-Walz field office in Pittsburgh today and said a few things about misogyny (I believe directed toward Black men)(via Erica L. Green for pool) "Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president."

Yes please.

It’s true AND it’s a great shirt. Hearing my son read “Stand Up, Speak Up, Show Up” off the back was a teaching moment and 👩‍🍳😘

just a reminder that "Trump is a Scab" is not a metaphor or analogy, he literally walked crossed an IATSE picket line when he was on THE APPRENTICE. You might not hear that reported in the many "Kamala's problem with labor" pieces and it's worth thinking about why that's the case!

NWS warnings like the country is losing a limb

He *asked for nuclear options* twice during his Presidency. No, seriously. He did. The CHIEF OF STAFF had to OFF-THE-BOOKS call his Chinese counterpart to reassure him that he would NOT FOLLOW AN ORDER TO NUKE CHINA. And you think there's no difference. I have reason to doubt your judgement.

If you're curious as to how they got this footage from so close to the eye of the hurricane, the woman who got this into my timeline also wrote a fantastic feature on Saildrones.

It’s incredibly frustrating that there are no discernible consequences for this major federal contractor who consistently acts against the interests of the united states, on disaster relief and a whole host of other issues. www.politico.com/news/2024/10...

Elon Musk is piling onto all the hurricane disinformation, hampering relief efforts

The billionaire is using the power of his social media platform to spread falsehoods that officials say are hampering recovery efforts.

Again, I ask you to note how "women" are implicitly & explicitly excluded from "people." Menstruation is a normal bodily function that happens, convenient or not, for anyone who menstruates, 4-7 days every month, for 35-40 YEARS. The people of Appalachia give a big goddamn fuck about tampons rn.
