It's time for the job hunt again. If anyone has NY-based or remote #UX or #ProductManagement roles at the Lead/Manager/Director level, please sent them my way!

And if not - I'd still appreciate the signal boost.

#FactCheck

#Trump: “We should have paper ballots, we should have voter ID & we should have proof of citizenship.”

He is again implying that #undocumented #immigrants are #voting.

FALSE

Every single federal election voter, in every state, in every district is required to be a #citizen of the #UnitedStates.

It is the #law

The Illegal Immigration Reform & Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, explicitly prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections

Wow, did #Maddow just say #HarrisWalz2024 pulled in $20 million just since the VP announcement??

MSNBC:
Gov. Tim Walz’s first speech as Kamala Harris’ running mate

“Some of us are old enough to remember when it was Republicans who were talking about freedom. It turns out now what they meant was, the government should be free to invade your doctor's office. In Minnesota we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule! mind your own damn business!”

"You see what I did there?

I have to tell you, pointing out just an observation of mine, I just have to say it. You know it, you feel it. These guys are creepy and, yes, just weird as hell. That's what you see."

👏 👏 👏

Should #Harris and #Walz win in November, prompting Walz to step down from the governorship, Lieutenant Governor #PeggyFlanagan, a citizen of the #WhiteEarthBand of #Ojibwe, would take his place. That means that Flanagan would become the first #NativeAmerican #woman to serve as a U.S. governor, as well as #Minnesota’s first female governor

#Walz signed a #PublicSafety package including a "#RedFlag" #law that allows family members, roommates or law enforcement to petition the courts to remove #firearms from the possession of anyone deemed a danger to themselves or others.

Another law in the package required private gun transfers to be subject to #BackgroundChecks.

"This is NOT about the #SecondAmendment," Walz said. "This is about the #safety & #security of our communities. That's what's happening here today."
