White US voters have voted for Republicans since Democrats passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Every election.

- For some reason Eliann got a tad upset at how I cut this cake 🍰🤷🏾

- Y'all. Check expiry dates on your skincare, especially if you switch back and forth or over-buy. Sometimes it oxidizes. Sometimes the pH changes (and it has to be at the right pH to work). Especially if it's not in an opaque container or you dig it out with your fingers, it can go off quickly.
- I have seen two complaints tonight that the Democratic Party isn't "light" enough. 🙄 Are you fucking kidding me? White people have been screaming at Dems for MONTHS to "do something," and David Hogg is relentlessly negative. But because he went sad incel on Maher, now we need to be fun?
- Voting is how we shape our democracy. None of us are ever going to get our way 100% because other people have opinions too. The populist left sneering at incremental progress—the only kind of progress there is—works in Republicans' favor. Insist on all or nothing? You get nothing. Every time.

- One thing we do know is we cannot rely on people to self-report or even understand the degree to which they are influenced by racism or misogyny.
