Making sure all votes are counted isn't 'a win for Democrats'—it's a win for all Americans

[Making sure all votes are counted isn't 'a win for Democrats'—it's a win for all Americans]( As I was doomscrolling through Twitter yesterday, the wording of an Associated Press post caught my eye. "The Supreme Court will allow absentee ballots in North Carolina to be received and counted up to 9 days after Election Day, in a win for Democrats," it read. A win for Democrats? Surely they meant a win for Americans? For voters? For democracy? I wasn't the only one who noticed that phrase, as comment after comment expressed the same reaction. What the heck, AP?

And then they even agree on something.]( Former Democratic presidential candidate and two-term South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg has been a valuable surrogate for the Biden-Harris campaign this election cycle. He helped Kamala Harris prepare for the debates by playing Mike Pence in rehearsals. He's appeared on Fox News multiple times to represent the Biden-Harris campaign, and crisscrossed the country speaking on behalf of the ticket. He's also made a lot of headlines for his snappy comebacks on his Fox News appearances. Wednesday night, he appeared at an event in Saint Petersburg, Florida in an attempt to mobilize LGBT support for the campaign in the pivotal state. Buttigieg came out in 2015 and married his husband, Chasten, in 2018. During his speech, a heckler wearing cargo shorts and two red hats, one that reads: Keep America Great 2020, was shouting in front of the podium and holding his camera up to live stream. Nothing says "I love Trump" like two red hats. Dude went double-MAGA.

As many people holed up in their homes, some essential workers had to make the impossible choice of going to work or quitting their jobs— a choice they continue to make each day. Because over 80 percent of working Hispanic adults provide essential services for the U.S. economy, the Hispanic community is disproportionately affected. Hispanic families are also much more likely to live in multigenerational households, carrying the extra risk of infecting the most vulnerable. In fact, Hispanics are 20 times more likely than other patients to test positive for COVID-19. Claudia Romo Edelman saw a community in desperate need of guidance and support. And she created Hispanic Star, a non-profit designed to help Hispanic people in the U.S. pull together as a proud, unified group and overcome barriers — the most pressing of which is the effects of the pandemic.

Approximately 24,000 babies are born stillbirth each year. And while stillbirths are rare, the experience can be emotionally painful for those who have to go through it. Last month, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend lost their third child, Jack, at 20 weeks. Teigen suffered a partial placenta abruption, a rare diagnosis in which the placenta and the lining of the uterus separate. It prevents the fetus from receiving oxygen and nutrients and causes bleeding in the mother. Now, Teigen is opening up about her experiences with the loss in a heart wrenching Medium essay.

When complaints are met with inaction, protests are met with inaction, and direct action is met with inaction, maybe it's time to get specific in who needs to be held accountable for issues in law enforcement. That's exactly what Keiajah (KJ) Brooks did at a Board of Police Commissioners meeting in her hometown of Kansas City this week. The 20-year-old used her approximately four minutes with the microphone—and with the commissioners' undivided attention—to unequivocally lay out her position to each and every one of the officials in that room. "Fair warning, I'm not nice and I don't seek to be respectable," she began. "I'm not asking y'all for anything because y'all can't and won't be both my savior and my oppressor. I don't want reform. I want to turn this building into luxury low-cost housing. These would make some really nice apartments."
