Yesterday I helped my bestie Kira, a NASA employee in Houston, with this letter she wrote following passage of Texas’ abortion ban. Her ideas resonated with me & I think they are worth a read. Voices are stronger together, so if you can, share this to show your support.

I'm back from a week at my mom's house and now I'm getting ads for her toothpaste brand, the brand I've been putting in my mouth for a week. We never talked about this brand or googled it or anything like that. As a privacy tech worker, let me explain why this is happening. 🧵

This figure is striking. It shows the relationship between where people think they are in the income distribution and where they actually are. Observations below the line indicate that people think they are poorer than they really are (and the reverse above the line).

"If [Republicans] want to heal our divisions, they should come together with Democrats to expel Trump and prevent him from running for office again." "If they fail to do that, they are the ones promoting disunity — and subverting our democracy."

Coup now?

The insurrectionists were attempting to kill the first and second people in line to succeed the President and to prevent Congress from certifying the President’s electoral defeat. Sorry Republicans, but we’re not “moving on” from this anytime soon.

"We, the undersigned political scientists, call on the U.S. Congress, Vice President Mike Pence, and the Cabinet to immediately remove President Donald J. Trump from office through the impeachment process or by invoking the 25th Amendment."

More than *2,000* political scientists have now signed our open letter calling for President Trump to be removed from office immediately. His actions show he is unwilling or unable to fulfill his oath to protect and defend the Constitution. docs.google.com/document/d/e/2…
