A German language institution announced the short list for the 2019 "youth word of the year" (they do this every year), i.e. a new word used by adolescents. My favorite:
"brexiten" (to brexit)
Definition: To say good-bye and then not leave.

In case I haven't thoroughly annoyed you all about tomorrow's election, if we flip the VA legislature blue, VA will likely become the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, allowing the House to move forward toward ratifying it on the federal level

I'm in KY. I haven't seen these people around personally, but I'm not surprised they're doing this. The anti-choice movement here is pretty strong, I've seen a lot of people who hate Bevin but won't vote against him because he's "pro-life". It's frustrating to say the least. I'm on pins and needles about this election tomorrow as we really need to get Bevin out but voter turnout here has historically been terrible.

I ran into some anti choice people volunteering for a Republican delegate here in VA. They literally tried to get my vote while I was in the actual process of canvassing for his challenger. I was wearing 2 buttons w/ the challengers name and one that says, "I'm liberal, just like Jesus." So, clearly the brightest of the bright.

I know here the off year election system started during Jim Crow and was specifically designed to depress turnout. A Constitutional amendment changing that is one of the things ny delegate is pushing for if we take back the HOD. Any chance of a similar push in KY?

We have two ladies who sit in lawn chairs near the capitol lawn here in North Dakota. They each have a sign that says "Pray to end abortion". They are quite elderly and half the time when I drive by I am pretty sure they have died where they sit.

There have been bills introduced that proposed eliminating the off-year schedule and they've been voted down, mostly by the democrats so that is frustrating. It does make me wonder if they'll change their tune if Bevin is reelected and turnout is low again. I believe it was somewhere around 20% when he was elected for this first term.

I've been followed by two dudes with a bunch of numbers after their name on Twitter. No followers, no posts. Time to break out the block stick.

I heard in the piece he is one of the most unpopular govenors right now so that kind of seems like a nail in the coffin but you never know who the republicans are going to pay off to get the vote out. Or complain about political trickery..... Or complain about voter fraud....

2nd Circuit rules unanimously that Cy Vance can get Trump's tax returns
JUST IN: A federal appeals court has rejected Trump’s effort to prevent Manhattan prosecutors from obtaining his tax records. Appeals Court rules 3-0 in favor of Manhattan DA Cy Vance.

Given how multinational clubhouses are these days, I'd think open support of Trump by a professional athlete could really impair team dynamics.

I've been followed by two dudes with a bunch of numbers after their name on Twitter. No followers, no posts. Time to break out the block stick. Between FB, IG and Twitter, I've gotten a disturbing number of bots trying to request a follow. Nope, and I'mma report you now. Lots of military looking guys, guys who claim to be doctors, women with multiple children and WWJD in their About Me. People I could see someone like my evangelical cousin accepting because they're "one with the Lord".
