I wrote about this! "The disenfranchisement of marginalized voters is a feature, not a bug, of the American reality. Denying these groups full & free participation in democracy isn’t breaking news—in fact, it’s a problem as old as journalistic myopia itself." electorette.substack.com/p/from-econo...

The “President” of the U.S. is posting bizarre, deranged videos and images on social media, and is clearly going through some worrying episode — **AND there’s no coverage of it.** In short, everything is truly broken.

Sending an all-female crew into outer space for a few minutes, at the cost of millions — while women down here on earth are dying without reproductive care… is a choice.

Will we still have elections? The fear of cancelled elections won’t go away—mostly bc the admin wants us to be afraid. They keep that fear alive through chaos & disinformation campaigns. Check out my convo with Rebekah Caruthers on why we should vote anyway. electorette.substack.com/p/they-want-...

I don’t believe Trump’s locker-room antics with the hockey team were just his usual off-the-cuff misogyny—they were a deliberate attempt to redirect male anger toward women & place fresh targets on our backs, at a time when the culture wars are already aimed at us. electorette.substack.com

It’s time to talk about Michael Wolff. What do those emails reveal about wealth, power & the layers of complicity that keep it all going? Is Wolff acting as heroic truth-teller or is he part of the same machinery that protects problematic men? Let’s talk about it… open.substack.com/pub/electore...

Don’t forget! Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear Callais v. Landry — a case that could gut the Voting Rights Act by stripping key protections against racial discrimination. I spoke with Sophia Lin Lakin of the @aclu.org about what this could mean for voters.

The Supreme Court is back in session 🫤 — and one of the first major cases on its docket could gut what’s left of the Voting Rights Act. Callais v. Landry (Oct 15) targets Section 2, which protects voters from racial discrimination. I spoke with Sophia Lin Lakin of @aclu.org about what’s at stake.

He’s done a lot of terrible things, but undoubtedly the cruelest was his resurfacing after we’d all but written his obituary. What a joyful long weekend that was.

That meeting between tech CEOs and Trump reminded me of one thing: We need more women in STEM. We need more women-owned tech companies.
