I posted an article over at the Daily Kos:

"We Are All Trapped in a Teenage Romantic Comedy"

"Bullying is a normal part of growing up."

Is the same as saying:

1) It's normal for my child to assault others when they don't like someone.

2) It's normal for schools be a place where beatings and emotional abuse take place.

3) Being beaten and traumatized is a normal learning experience for children, both for the child who assaults others and for the children being assaulted.

4) There is something wrong with a child who doesn't prosper under conditions of emotional and physical abuse.

The national election protection hotline (I do legal volunteer work for them) asked me to share information about them on social media.

Here is their website: https://866ourvote.org

If you are a lawyer and want to volunteer, there is a place to contact them.

(I like doing back office research, so I spent a few dozen hours last year researching changes in state election laws and writing up summaries so the lawyers working the hotline have the information handy.)
