On @ABCNewsLive just now, there was a dust up when I said that JD Vance wanted women to stay in violent marriages for the sake of their kids. Here is Vance's direct quote: /1
"This is one of the great tricks that I think the sexual revolution pulled on the American populace, which is the idea that like, ‘well, OK, these marriages were fundamentally, you know, they were maybe even violent, but certainly they were unhappy. And so getting rid of them /2
"and making it easier for people to shift spouses like they change their underwear, that’s going to make people happier in the long term. And maybe it worked out for the moms and dads, though I’m skeptical. But it really didn’t work out for the kids of those marriages." /3
Sounds pretty clear to me. And while I am neither in a violent marriage nor was raised in one, as a mother I can assure Senator Vance that watching your dad beat the hell out of your mom is probably more traumatic for a kid than divorce. vice.com/en/article/93a…

I've been hearing lots of back and forth about how outrageous it is that Fox knowingly lied to its audience about the 2020 election but all this analysis is missing something important: Fox's viewers *want* Fox to lie to them. /1
It is a safe space for same MAGA crowd that spent years mocking colleges and other liberal institutions for having safe spaces for "snowflakes." But the real snowflakes are Fox viewers who crave validation of their views, even if it involves being fed fairy tales. /2
Like all good fairy tales, the ones Fox feeds its audience have a familiar arc. The MAGA hero sets out on a quest to make America great again, only to be waylaid by an evil liberal. At this point, as in all fairy tales, the plot gets scary. /3

What we are up against: I received email notice that I can opt out of Venmo's forced arbitration process if I scrolled through reams of disclaimer language, clicked on several links, printed out a hard copy of an opt-out form, FILL OUT the paper form by hand and mail it back /1
Then, I need to put it in an envelope, place a stamp on it and mail it back via snail mail to PayPal's litigation department in San Francisco. Ok, fine. But what record will I have that they received it unless I want to pay for for certified mail or FedEx/UPS? /2
Of course, Venmo could easily have allowed me to do all this online, since they sent me the original notice online, but that would make it easier for consumers to opt out of forced arb. This is how hard companies work to ensure that they have the upper hand in any legal dispute.

The EU freezing Putin's assets is performative. He doesn't officially have many, if any, assets abroad. Now, if they were to seize the assets of his oligarchs, that would mean something. Start with Chelsea United, move on to Mayfair and all the yachts still docked in the Med.
Chelsea United owes Abramovich $2 billion. Will the Brits be prepared to let the team go under for the sake of geopolitical stability if he calls in the loan?
Was just informed that it's called Chelsea FC now.

A short history of Russian land grabs over the last century and its effects on domestic politics: the Russo-Japanese War, which Russia thought it would win in a walk, resulted in a humiliating loss that led to the 1905 Revolution, a dress rehearsal for the Russian Revolution.
WWI led to the Russian Revolution and the overthrow of the Tsar. The land grab in Finland in 1939 led to a humiliating loss at the start of WWII. The land grab of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact certainly didn't end as well for Stalin as he would have thought.
The land grab in Afghanistan in 1979 led to Soviet GDP drastically falling and the inability to fund basic domestic and international priorities, which was a major cause for the demise of the USSR. The Soviet Union collapsed from within.

Let's use this site to crowdsource helpful info for a change. Does anyone know anything about hawks? This guy has been hanging out on our deck and won't respond or move, no matter how close we get. Worried that it might be hurt. Image
It is definitely not well. When we gently tried to prod it, it was annoyed but too lethargic to fly or move. Bugs all over its body. Wildlife rescue won't come out to get it and we aren't sure whether it will try to scratch/bite if we try to transport. Suggestions/ideas welcome.
I (wo)manned up, put on gloves, wrapped it in a towel, put it in a box and we drove it to an animal rehab center. Poor thing has severe head trauma and is malnourished. They are going to intubate it to feed it until he can hold down food & release it into the wild once he is well

Now that this election is in the bag, let me discuss something I think Dems might benefit from:
In 2015, before Trump rode down the golden escalator, a client of mine grew concerned that Dems were losing races in towns where the party had an outsized voter advantage.
These towns were largely white, so this thread applies largely to this cohort. (AA women delivered for the Dems -- AGAIN -- in ways that white people never have in my lifetime. And we need to dispel the notion that Latinos are a monolith, but that's a thread for another day.)
Polling could not explain the phenomenon of why Dems were not winning there. So we did focus groups. Lots and lots of focus groups. And here is what we heard from these Dem and Dem-leaning independents, especially women:
