What Stacy Abrams has done in Georgia is undeniable proof that America has very few red states and too many voter suppression states.
Every Dem state lead should follow the Abrams mode for 2022 and beyond. America is a blue country.

I hate that I need to know about this shit.
OK CoSo let's huddle.
Today has dealt heavy blows with this BS ruling about Jacob Blake and the awful political theater in PA.
Things will likely get worse tonight/tomorrow with protests in our streets and in our government spaces.
Please regulate your exposure to the news and the ensuing opinions.
Stay grounded in the things/people/activity that matter to you and comfort you.
Take small actions that feel effective & helpful--however you can.
Breathe. Be kind to yourself.

I'm always amazed by the intimate knowledge ppl assume I have of the data in the dbs I maintain. I do a lot of reporting, but that doesn't imbue me with off-top knowledge of e.g., what proportion of primary care visits were virtual last month.
I can find it out if you can define what you mean by primary care, but nope, I do not know that type of thing of the top of my head.
Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call.

mpb: Pelosi needs to start impeachment hearings today.
Ida just hung up on his nasty ass
"Trump did most of the talking on the call. He was angry and impatient, calling Raffensperger a “child” and “either dishonest or incompetent” for not believing there was widespread ballot fraud in Atlanta — and twice calling himself a “schmuck” for endorsing Kemp, whom Trump holds in particular contempt for not embracing his claims of fraud."
