ⓘ This Nonsense Claim About Election Fraud Is Disputed By Reality:

Trump’s flagrant lies about the election are undermining democracy and stoking tensions that could turn deadly.

Twitter’s labels on them are pathetic: buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
According to Twitter policy: "Not all false or untrue information about politics or civic processes constitutes manipulation or interference."

But at what point will Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the election qualify as interference in a peaceful transition of power?
Although Trump has not explicitly called on supporters to take up arms in his defense, thousands of Americans have engaged with Trump's tweets with promises to fight to keep him in power.
Election officials across the US are receiving threats of violence from people who believe Trump’s lies about fraud.

Last night, a GA official begged Trump to condemn the threats and stop fueling the flames.

Trump RTed a video of the speech w/ the comment "Rigged Election."

I think a lot about what Mr. Rogers said and did when he accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmys:
As @TomJunod so beautifully put it in @esquire's November 1998 issue:

web.archive.org/web/2003030118…
In his final broadcast, Mr. Rogers said:

"I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are."

Shoutout to all the people who've chosen not to attend a small family gathering in a pandemic and are being guilt-tripped for it!
Here's the story: cnn.com/2020/10/14/hea…
In case you may need more things to forward along to those who don't understand why you're following CDC guidelines in a pandemic: washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/advi…

I’m outside the White House with @kadiagoba, covering tonight’s protests in Washington, DC for @BuzzFeedNews:

#DCprotest #GeorgeFloydProtests
Police / Secret Service have closed off Lafayette Square Park (park in front of White House) and 16th street (which leads to it). Huge law enforcement presence:
A few minutes ago, protesters tore down one of the fences around Lafayette Square Park and tear gas was deployed.

Police have moved up closer to the protesters now. #dcprotests #georgefloydprotests

Compare These 20 Headlines To See How Differently Royal Reporters Treated Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle: buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
THREAD: I've been reading about / covering the royal family for years + I've been thinking about publishing a piece like this for a while now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I've read thousands of headlines/stories about the royals, particularly about Kate, over the years.
When Meghan came on the scene, I noticed a bit of a slow shift in terms of stories that were written. Don't get me wrong. There have been "why is this a story" stories written about Kate — TONS of them, but they were always fluffier? Silly, maybe. But not obviously negative.

#MuellerMemos: Hope Hicks told the FBI about an incident where she received a 3am phone call from a "foreign person" with a 202 (DC) area code —

"Hicks had a hard time understanding the person but she could make out the words 'Putin call'" (pg 203)
The person on the other end of the line was Sergey Kuznetsov, an official at the Russian embassy.

After the call, he sent Hope Hicks this email with the subject line "Extremely urgent message from president putin"

The email was sent at 4:06am on 11/9/2016
#MuellerMemos (244)
Hope Hicks told the FBI that Trump was "angry, surprised, and frustrated" the day Mueller was appointed special counsel, and that she had only seen him like this on one other occasion — when the Access Hollywood tape came out during the campaign:

I published my story about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, guest-editing the September issue of British Vogue 3 hours ago and I already have a reader email in my inbox referring to her as "a half breed American mediocre actress."
To be clear, I'm not surprised.

I write about the royal family quite frequently (lol) and nearly every time I post something about Meghan, I get reader emails attacking her — and me for daring to write about her.
This reader email was in response to the post I did about baby Archie's christening photos:
