@kolev That’s unusual. I don’t know anyone who’s ever gotten rid of one. Usually they stay in the family forever.

Josh Marshall posted some analysis of NYT and WaPo's #swiftboating of Tim #Walz. The full piece is paywalled at Talking Points Memo, but here's the free part, below.

Bottom line: It's all lies, told by two MAGA extremists who used to be in Walz's unit, and coordinated by literally the same guy who swiftboated John Kerry in 2004. And then breathlessly amplified by NYT and WaPo, which are supposed to be legitimate newspapers, but aren't.

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

I’m looking for work.

My experience doesn't neatly fit standard job titles or categories - the closest might be ‘empathetic interdisciplinary engineering leader’ developing new or complex things.

"Elections aren't just about policy ideas. What's at stake here is what it would feel like to be an American... We don't want to go back to feeling like we get punched in the face every time we watch the news."

In #novascotia we provide free school lunches & menstrual products to kids in school. It's just a decent caring thing to do - not "radical"

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

ADDED:

Yep. Griffin:

Team Harris-Walz has raised more than $20 million since the announcement of Gov. Walz as Vice President Harris' running mate, according to campaign.

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!”

#Walz addresses #Vance:

"And I gotta tell ya, I can't wait to debate the guy... that is, if he's willing to *get off the couch* and show up"

"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."
