100%. I’d go a step further and say take the laptops away and give kids books and paper again. Let teens use computers for research and word processor, but keep giving them books and paper too.

It struck me during Covid when people were outraged at being asked to wear a piece of cloth to protect others that this is the fundamental divide. People who feel a responsibility to others and people who don’t.

Is it unreasonable to think that a woman shouldn’t have to prove she didn’t consent to penetration by 7 men, that such an act causes serious harm in any case?

It’s the same tactic they tried with Talerico. They have no record or policy to run on and can’t dig up any dirt on these guys, so they accuse them of not being masculine enough. I think, I hope, it shows that all the $ they have to throw on ads won’t help.

The No Kings coalition wants everyone who is able to vote early. They will be preparing people to do so on October 17th, but early voting has already started in some states. If you are physically able & your state has early voting, please consider doing it for any of the good reasons listed below.
WHY VOTING EARLY MATTERS:
1. AVOID LONG LINES, AVOID LINES CAST YOUR BALLOT AND BE DONE.
2. RESOLVE REGISTRATION ISSUES. GIVES TIME TO CLEAR UP ANY ISSUES WITH YOUR STATUS.
3. HELP GOTV EFFORTS. ENABLES GET OUT THE VOTE TO FOCUS RESOURCES WHERE NEEDED MOST.
4. BANK YOUR VOTE. SECURE IT FROM LAST-MINUTE ILLNESSES, BAD WEATHER, OR OTHER SHENANIGANS.
5. REDUCE CAMPAIGNS MAIL. HELP CAMPAIGNS REMOVE YOU FROM TARGET LISTS, REDUCING UNWANTED OUTREACH. 
7. PROTECT THE VOTE!! VOLUNTEER ON ELECTION DAY, HAVING ALRE3ADY SECURED YOUR OWN VOTE.
6. BUILD MOMENTUM. STRONG EARLY VOTE CREATES MOMENTUM THT IS “TOO BIG TO RIG”  VOTE.ORG

They’ve been giving him the bullhorn for too long, no matter that all that comes out of his mouth is lies and insults. I’m glad they’re finally standing up to him and really hope they keep some spine and won’t go back to business as usual if he’s ordered to let them back.

Yes. They should have boycotted him and his spokespeople a long time ago. They only lie, hedge, insult, and obfuscate. Resources are better spent investigating what is happening than reporting what he says.
