Statistics show that voter turnout is significantly lower for midterm elections than presidential ones, which impacts the overall election results. Only 37% of eligible voters cast ballots in the 2014 midterm elections; the lowest voter turnout since WWII.

For Nicolas, 23, Friends makes everything feel okay — even when it’s clearly not. This is not about a feeling of relatability ('It’s not relatable,' he says), nor about it being good TV ('It’s not as good as Seinfeld or Frasier') but about the fact that Friends unites people.

For me, holiday celebrations are never as fulfilling as the promise of holiday cheer suggests. So I made a choice: Instead of investing in complicated dynamics and being reminded of unresolved shit, I stayed in Alabama, 1,000 miles away from my real home and closest blood relative.

I like to imagine that this person is truly invested in thinking through the ways humans and technology interact. That they’ve read Audre Lorde, believe a relationship is sharing deeply any pursuit with another person, and have purposefully created a boundary between their Instagram persona and their personal life to uphold that definition.

I believe survivors. Those who can and do come forward, and those who cannot or do not choose to. I stand behind Anita Hill, Christine Ford, Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick and all of those whose names I do not know. And I’m eager for this conversation, and the action it inspires, to broaden and deepen in every direction.

In our culture, the act of celebrating is very tied to specific reasons for celebration — birthdays, graduations, marriages and the like. There are certain markers that are universally understood: We eat cake. We dance. We break piñatas. 'But shame-eating a cake in your crib because you’re stressed and lonely is different than eating cake with your best friends because someone had a baby,' Sarah says. 'In that sense, celebration is an energy, an awareness, it is possible at all times and is present wherever there is a human spirit.'

I got into elfing — I use it as a verb — because I’m an actress. I was doing a little show and my director who also works as a Santa Claus would come to rehearsal after a full day of sitting, they call it, as Santa, and he would bring gifts and letters that he got from kids and tell us hilarious stories. I just thought it sounded like a really funny, weird thing to do around the holidays. Turns out: It is. It’s so hilarious being an elf.

The passion for office among members of Congress is very great, if not absolutely disreputable, and greatly embarrasses the operations of the government. They create offices by their own votes and then seek to fill them themselves.

A man's rights rest in three boxes. The ballot box, jury box and the cartridge box. Let no man be kept from the ballot box because of his color. Let no woman be kept from the ballot box because of her sex.

Cause I just don't know what difference it makes

Politicians are so afraid of losing power that some are doing anything they can to diminish the rights of people who threaten their power...meaning voters. Meaning constituents. Meaning the people who put them in power in the first place.

The biggest hurdle that our communities have is cynicism - saying it's a done deal, who cares; there's no point to voting. If we can get somebody to care, it's a huge victory for the movement and the causes we're trying to advance.
