Since Don Lemon is trending for saying that we need to get rid of the electoral college...it's a common misconception that the electoral college can only be changed by constitutional amendment.
We don't need an amendment.
We need 74 more electoral votes.
The National Popular Vote bill will take effect nationwide when enacted into law by states possessing 270 electoral votes
As of 7/20, it's been enacted into law in 16 jurisdictions possessing 196 electoral votes, DE, HI, RI, VT, CO, CT, MD, MA, NJ, NM, OR, WA,CA, IL, NY, and DC
2/ Since then, he's endured countless rounds of chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, and a stroke. As he's recovering from all of this, it's become clear that he will not be returning to work anytime soon.
3/ Because my work in political consulting and organizing has always been unpaid work for non-profit organizations, because I am disabled, and because I need to be home to take care of my husband, I decided to start a home-based business.
Millionaire shortbread with a twist: freshly baked shortbread cookie base, a layer of handcrafted caramel, a boozy bourbon marshmallow center, enrobed in the best Belgian chocolate on the planet. Made for a custom order today, only 3 orders left!
New in the store today: Triple Gingerdoodles, like snickerdoodles but instead of cinnamon, they are made with stem ginger, crystallized ginger, and rolled in buffalo ginger and sugar. Crispy edges and soft in the middle.
2/ I won't be posting every day about chocolates or caramel or cookies, but about once a week, I will add things to my store and will post about them. Pictured here: home made caramels in the best Belgian dark chocolate on the market.
3/ If someone told me I'd become a chocolatier in my 50's, I would have said...yeah, that sounds about right. 🤣 When one door shuts, a window opens, which is great unless you get too fat from eating the "mistakes" to fit through a window. ➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…
1/ My husband is officially 6 months cancer free, according to last week's bone marrow biopsy.
He had a stem cell transplant for AML last June.
The day he was diagnosed, his white count was 135k. (Normal is between 4k-11k.)
2/He went into respiratory failure, had a heart attack, was put on life support, and as he crashed, I was told his prospects were "not good" by his doctor.
I was told over the phone, because COVID was in full swing on 1/13/21, the day he got sick.
I could not be with him.
3/ To everyone's shock and delight, he woke up 3 days later.
He was in the hospital for 3 weeks, getting his first round of chemo, scared and alone. I was not allowed to be there. Because of COVID.
This was when vaccinations were mostly for people who worked in healthcare.
