I should add that all of my MAGA-hat high school friends who love gleefully ‘owning’ the libs can SUCK IT! I’ll be on Facebook posting critical race theory memes back in their faces.

Don Young was a political adversary of my family in Alaska from the day he won his special election in 1973. My dad, uncle and aunt didn’t live to see Democrat Mary Peltola elected to Congress but they’d rejoice. Alaska is bluer than it seems! Beating Palin is icing on the cake. twitter.com/palafo/status/…

Our maternal Grandma (aka Grandma Seaside), before she married Grandpa, had a boyfriend called Jimmy, who was a soldier & amateur artist. His travelling sketchbook from 1934 (a gift to him from Grandma) is such a lovely insight into the era. Thread:

I’d never push messaging like “this person has all the answers, please trust them blindly,” but the one person but I can confidently say has been overwhelmingly and SHOCKINGLY correct for a decade about almost everything social media is doing and will do to us, is Zaynep Tufecki. twitter.com/zeynep/status/…

This is a great thread. A lot to celebrate.

This is a very big deal, another massive achievement for Biden and the Democrats, another triumph executed without any GOP support. It is a major step forward in combatting climate change, providing more affordable healthcare, getting companies to pay their fair share of taxes. twitter.com/voxdotcom/stat
