After 15 yrs, think I’ll leave this cesspool of garbage ads, bots & vitriol. Exodus of many eloquent voices is too much. Kicker is Musk running this as a disinfo machine. Guess I’ll try #Bluesky, #Threads but prob just enjoy more real-life experiences! Fare thee well!

@atrupar Hate to say it, but it is good politics for them. That one issue main cause of Black and Latino men swinging votes. I have a trans kid, happy for her. But my views on trans athletes not doctrine enough for left. Every big ‘progressive win’ is a rally cry for the right.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar·20 Kas

The reason Nancy Mace is posting nonstop today and trans people and bathrooms is because Republicans just won an election where transphobia was one of their central messages and she thinks it’s good politics.

@matt_vanswol @HistoryBoutique FEMA is not a cleanup crew, dude. They are meeting with hundreds of locals daily. We had an excellent experience with them regarding home damage. Stop this false narrative, it’s not helping anyone.

Asheville’s River Arts District looks even worse than it did a month ago. I’ve been driving through all the hardest hit areas for weeks and I’ve yet to meet anyone from FEMA in #WNC. Not one.

Two very unpleasant games in five days. Tough. But, we were only in position to feel this way because things were going so much better than expected. Everybody rest up.

@granthpaulsen WTF was that choice to not kick a FG?!?

English

Grant Paulsen@granthpaulsen·15 Kas

Commanders defense wearing down. They kept the team in it all night. Philly has scored TDs on consecutive drives and leads 19-10. WSH offense has 4:58 to change the narrative but this has been a complete and utter dud.

What could go wrong with an extreme Christian Nationalist as head of our Defense Department? I’m sure it’ll be just fine. 😒

Matthew D. Taylor@TaylorMatthewD

Yesterday Trump announced he's nominating Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense. Hegseth's a prominent Fox News personality & veterans advocate, but he also has strong ties to the Christian far right that I've not seen fully exposed yet. Here's a thread w/ receipts... 1/

@CptAncapistan @DrNeilStone It’s all a debate until kids die.

Captain Ⓐncapistan@CptAncapistan·11 Kas

RFK has never claimed that vaccines do not work. The claim is that taking so many of them so close together can have negative effects (adjuvants getting into the brain), and that people need to stop acting like there are zero trade-offs. Also, that *some* vaccines, like Hep-B, do not need to be on the schedule.

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. I can see why RFK Jr is so concerned. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

Frank and stark analysis from someone who knows what’s up.

Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT

Spent last week licking wounds. Now it's time to get to work. Some thoughts on the path forward. In short, we need to rebuild the left. No band aids. Admit that our policies don't connect with people emotionally. Stop being so afraid of populist fights. Build a bigger tent.

@RadioFreeTom I live in Asheville, NC and people here believed Trump's lies about the FEMA response (he said there were no helicopters) even though there were Airborne troops on the ground and more helicopters than I ever dreamed I would see

TRUMP WINS AMERICA LOSES WHAT ELSE IS NEW

English

James Fisher@Fishstix66·7 Kas

Trump 2.0 will be stacked with the most brazen Q-Anon madmen possible. Perhaps this is what it takes: an actual #idiocracy that tears the nation down to the ground?

Tom Santos@tommysantos14

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere. And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time. When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime. What then? Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden? You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy. You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military. You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda. You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy. You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for. You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming. You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation. You just made women less safe and less free. You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now. You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket! You just ushered in Fascism. Because your cereal costs more. Congratulations.

We are set for dark times. Trump 2.0 will bring an alignment with authoritarians worldwide, evangelical fundamentalism at home & a free for all economically for the rich. And @SCOTUS will be packed for 30 years. I don’t care about why. This is real.

Anonymous@YourAnonNews

Regardless of who wins, this will be your next 4 years in the USA.

@SimonWDC Agreed but lots of bad results coming in. Underperforming results in orettt much every state.

Friends, we've been through this before in both 2016 and 2020. It is early, votes still need to be counted, as we saw in 2020 our vote comes in late, and Harris has multiple paths to 270. Lots of Dem vote out everywhere. It's hard but we need to be patient.
