People bemoan national division and call for unity all across the political spectrum. But they mean very different things by "unity."

For some, unity means: Stop trying to set one group of people against each other, make some people superior and others inferior, dividing by race and gender, language and religion, class, sexuality, and national origin; look instead to our common values and common humanity.

But to others, unity means: Shut up and do as I say.

These are not the same.

He noted that ocean carriers have made record profits since the pandemic—sometimes in excess of 800% over prepandemic levels—and that executive compensation and shareholder profits have reflected those profits. “It’s only fair that workers, who put themselves at risk during the pandemic to keep ports open, see a meaningful increase in their wages as well.”

Women who are voting for Harris have likely also taken note of how (and why) she is commonly referred to as “Kamala” and not Harris. No one ever said they were voting for “Ronald, Bill,” “George,” “Barack,” or “Donald.”

Female physicians know this scenario all too well.

Mike Pence took notes about Trump's conspiracy. And Jack Smith has them.
