I've talked with a lot of voters this election, but one conversation has stuck with me. James Johnson is 46, white, from Mississippi. He's never voted in his life, but he's voting this year, for Harris, because of abortion.
Here's what he told me:

I personally would much rather live in a world where the cat litter was a nice gesture to furries, rather than the reality, where its there in case kids need to defecate while barricaded inside a classroom for hours because there is an active shooter on campus.
Cat litter was handed out in Columbine's school district for active shooter situations five years ago.
Since then, the "litter boxes in schools" rumor has evolved into a way to mock LGBTQ youth.
It's now being used as a culture war ammo by over 20 GOP politicians nationwide.

Anti-abortion orgs think women are just going to forget what the GOP is doing. “The last election [was] the high watermark for the side in favor of abortion bc they were angry, and anger is a big motivator… It doesn’t get better for them. They can’t keep up the anger forever.”
