Shannon Craig Straw

The utter fiasco of the last 48 hours is just a taste of the chaos Russ Vought would unleash. It is clear that no responsible Senator of any party should vote to confirm Vought to OMB. ☎️ Contact your Senator and tell them to vote NO on his confirmation: senate.gov/senators/senat…

@manisha_sun I was hoping this was a joke because of the abbreviation. I should have known better.

God, Keep my anger from becoming meanness. Keep my sorrow from collapsing into self-pity. Keep my heart soft enough to keep breaking. Keep my anger turned towards justice, not cruelty. Remind me that all of this, every bit of it, is for love. Keep me fiercely kind. Amen. A prayer for days like today from @LauraJeanTruman

My message about the election results:

"We stand on the shoulders of our ancestors as we follow God’s command to seek justice and protect the most vulnerable. We commit to organizing with all our power to confront & blunt white Christian nationalism, hate, and the promised authoritarianism to come." - @ddroyster

@amyspitalnick Telling my almost 10-year-old and my 5-year-old was really, really hard

About to get my two-year-old daughter up and it has just broken me. She’s too young to understand how badly we’ve failed her.

I’ll never understand how we all watched this live on television and didn’t immediately disqualify Donald Trump from public office for the rest of his life.

If you're in line when polls close, STAY IN LINE. You can vote. If someone tells you differently, call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

Why do we still have early exit polls? They're ALWAYS wrong.

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today: – Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them.  – Don’t share things before checking your sources.  – Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.

@SRuhle My kids' elementary school does an election between book characters instead of the real candidates. This year it was Gerald and Piggy vs Jelly and Narwhal

Remember when we used to have mock election day in schools- students would actually vote, there would be a count, results & they'd teach about how the process works - and kids would have to research who rhey were voting for a why. It was a fun, educational & memorable exercise... How exactly would that work today?

Save this graphic. Then share it with friends. Every eligible voter has the freedom to vote and have their vote counted.

Along these same lines, the Cubs won in 2016 and so did Trump. In 2020, the Cubs made the playoffs but lost. It was tight but Trump lost too. This year, the Cubs did not even make the playoffs.

"A vote for Kamala Harris is not an endorsement of US funding for the war. Voting for Kamala Harris does not mean you are forsaking your right to protest her actions and policies." @BerniceKing thenation.com/article/politi…

@jackmjenkins Turns out there are consequences when your tagline is "Democracy dies in darkness" and you opt to not endorse in an election with a candidate who has essentially made promises to kill democracy

This is brutal and irrefutable: all the issues plaguing journalism notwithstanding, losing 250,000 subscribers at the Post is, reportedly, the direct result of Bezos' decision — not the industry.

@ScottThuman @WashProbs Can someone explain the logic behind this? Religious insult but in what way?

The Trump ‘Golden Calf’ balloon just popped up at the site of VP Harris’ closing argument rally outside the White House.

Every 4 years it’s the same charade with political pastors vouching for a Godless heathen to their flocks while said heathen stands there thinking about his next Big Mac, thankful that he’s able to pull this scam off without ever attending a church service.

I sort of remember editorial boards having no problem asking Biden to step aside.

Fascism masquerading as Christianity is still fascism.
