Donna Shalala flipping the Miami (District 27) House seat from red to blue is a big deal b/c that one was a true tossup! By the way, that our first #GrabYourBallot election to be called. Fingers crossed it bodes well for the night's additional returns.
Hey hey! Democratic Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island just won herself a second term in a tossup race against Republican Allan Fung. Second #GrabYourBallot election to be called. Second win! wgem.com/2018/11/06/dem…
Sharice Davids just won her house race in KS🙌 unseating GOP incumbent in a traditionally VERY red state! One of 1st Native American women elected to Congress (NM's Deb Haaland could also) & KS' 1st LGBTQ congressp. 3rd #GrabYourBallot candidate to win! thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Just went through full #GrabYourBallot list. 42% of the candidates we backed won their races, most against incumbent Republicans! 3 races still too close to call. Most excited about Jacky Rosen, Antonio Delgado, & Katie Hill's victories! Full results here: medium.com/@shannoncoulte…
Correction: I guess the Katie Hill race is still too close to call and at last count she was ahead by just 56 votes. Eep! All eyes on Katie.

"Consumer privacy has to be a topline national security issue." Senator @RonWyden on Russia's use of Facebook and other social media platforms to influence the 2016 election 🙌
Only potential problem: advertisers can hyper-target in the way that won the election for Donald without a user's privacy being compromised... In majority of cases, you're targeting people without getting to know who they are, based on past behavior. It's FB's whole model.
Hope the proposed legislation was written in consultation w/ agency professionals who actually use the platform this way. Here's the link to the story in which Senator Wyden discusses it: npr.org/2018/12/18/677…

My feminism sprung partly from my mother's influence, partly from being a voracious reader, partly from interactions like those you describe (I was told not to worry about understanding 💰 b/c my future husband would handle #FirstFeministMemory), & partly from my immutable soul.
And, of course, the work and sacrifices and intelligence of every single feminist before me.
I really love the idea of a feminist origin story or #FirstFeministMemory. Want to know everyone's now!

Today I'm ignoring that embarrassing sideshow of a president in favor of writing a thread about just a few of the many things about last night's election that are making me *really* happy today. Feel free to add on to it!
First, I just want to point out that for the Dems to have re-taken the House in an economy this strong is very impressive. Unseating incumbents is *really* hard to do & doing so in a strong economy, nearly impossible. Many candidates who did it were 1st timers too. Uh. May. Zing.
Next, I’m thrilled Dems gained SIX new state trifectas, states where they control gov's office & both legislature chambers. Like CA, these states can now push back hard against the horror show coming out of DC, especially NY, which is now _officially_ East Coast Resistance HQ.

On Fox News, @LindseyGrahamSC downplays Flynn lying to FBI: "This is all post-election intrigue. I don't know why it's a crime to talk to the Russians when you are in transition... if I'm the Trump people, I'm thinking this is all process stuff."
Graham deflects from Flynn's lies with whataboutism: "They did a sit-down interview with Hillary Clinton, unrecorded, right? They never flipped anybody in the Clinton investigation to try to find out what happened with the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One."
Graham argues that illegal hush money payments the president directed to women aren't a big deal b/c it's not evidence of collusion.

"I never advocate violating the law, but from Trump's point of view, he signed nondisclosure agreements before to protect his family & brand."

1/ Some suitably freaked out or annoyed by Apple’s marketing slide on iPad “versus” notebooks. A couple of notes here because I think it is important to consider iPads in the context of the massive shift of where computing happens.
2/ For me, slide basically says Apple is largest single vendor of portable computing that isn’t a “phone”.

That’s a big deal no matter the chart. It’s especially a big deal b/c Apple sells basically one device compared to myriad of devices shown in chart.

iOS is one thing.
This is very much the same slide Apple used to talk about the largest phone maker...way back.

Ppl had a meltdown over this slide trying to define phones, OS similarity, vendor, etc. This is what marketing does. NBD. Pie chart of phone sales with Steve Job. Point is Apple is really big.

I would like to say something about the #Miami MLS proposal.

Firstly, forget the merits, there's a big problem.

The process.

I do not trust it.

Residents must make a final decision on a complex multi-million dollar real estate transaction.

1/
Thus far, the @MiamiHerald's @joeflech was stonewalled when requesting the public records to report on it during the last month.

The vote is Thursday.

Then it goes to a referendum where competing groups will dump millions of dollars into lobbying a plan nobody has seen yet.

2/
Residents of @CityofMiami have seen the failure of the backwards approach to business time & time again.

Not just from failed developments.

But from MLS very specifically, who has already announced another stadium deal with the City of Miami in 2015
