Last night I couldn’t sleep (what’s new), so naturally I spent 3 hours going down the Twitter rabbit hole of white women in the suburbs who love Harris but are married to a male Trump supporter.
It’s this whole other world of women of all ages sharing their plans and fears. 🧵

You think we’re being hyperbolic when we say our democracy is under attack.
This is what we mean.

As a disabled law professor who has benefited from accommodations, I vehemently reject this article's claims. The rise in accommodations isn't fraud—it's progress. It means more disabled students are accessing higher education. This is cause for celebration, not suspicion. (1/5)
My latest about disability accommodations in higher ed for @chronicle @ChronicleReview.
It's a very controversial topic, to say the least, and inspires strong opinions. I hope this will help shift the conversation in a productive direction:

Proud to be that woman!
Seattle Public Schools has a crappy concept of a plan that closes schools, ignoring the needs of students furthest from educational justice and harms the communities they are supposed to serve. #saveourschools @SeaPubSchools

Trump knows nothing about Seattle (or much else for that matter). Keep the name of my beautiful city out of your mouth.
We have one of the highest minimum wages. We have one of the strongest economies of cities across the country. We are one of the cities ranked best to live in across the world.

My heart is broken. A 16-year-old high school student in Georgia texted her mom, "I know I've not been a perfect daughter. I love you. I'm sorry." Enough is enough.

Volunteering as an election observer @kcelections - it was incredibly interesting and such important work. But rather disheartening when my shirt that says EVERYONE was deemed too political. @hrcseattle @humanrightscampaign @kingcountydems @washdems @DaveUpthegrove
