Leave Twitter just because its entire infrastructure is crumbling, its revenue sources have been slashed recently, and it's now run by business bros with zero understanding of humanity or the common good? Babe I'm already in academia.

But everything changed for women this summer. Everything. Why would you possibly care about gas prices when you understood a fight had begun to take away your your right to live your life as you see fit? To make you "less than" the other 50% of the population can?

Three tips for migrating to Mastodon h/t @jaztrophysicist. Lesson #1: Choice of server or “instance” is important in that each has different moderation policies, but does not balkanize the content. (1/3)

Know some folks are wondering why @tbonier and I have talking so much about the early vote.
Simply, the goal of an election is to get more votes than the other side.
So far, that's what Democrats are doing. And that's good. 1/

Morning everyone! Some thoughts on where we are 7 days before last day of voting.
Early vote remains encouraging. At this point in 2018 Rs had 300k national vote lead. Today Ds lead by 2.6m.
Ds are above 20 share in GA, IA, MI, NM, NV, NC, OH, PA, TX, WI, almost in AZ, WA. 1/

D enthusiastic embrace of early vote is making 2022 very different from 2018.
Using updated TargetEarly data, at this point in 18 Rs had 250k vote lead in the early vote.
Right now Ds have a 2.2m vote lead, growing leads in key battlegrounds.

Happy Friday all. A thread w/things I'm seeing this am:

Ds outperforming 2020 share in GA, MI, NV, OH, PA, VA, WI.
