I am a staunch liberal, had been worried about Biden, and then initially skeptical of Harris. It was these kinds of messages, about lifting each other up, and sometimes kicking the fucking door down that drew me to her. Then, I was all in. Thank you @KamalaHarris 🩷
ESSENCE@Essence

Thank you. Kamala Harris, your historic run has inspired us all, showing that our dreams are valid. You have shattered barriers and paved the way for generations of Black women to rise. And that’s exactly what we’ll do. From all of us, Thank You.

Someone suggested that I ask all my followers to request inauguration tickets from their Congress members and then NOT GO. I dunno. Seems rude. 🤷‍♀️

Palestinians are still going to die, probably at a greater rate than before, but at least Jill Stein made enough money this election not to have to dip into her $14M estate to pay her own bills. Congratulations, suckers! You got played, again.

Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011. What happened? "The need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700% at the Alberta Children’s Hospital." - Dr. James Dickinson @ University of Calgary calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-plan…
Steve Inskeep@NPRinskeep

Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people. He was the worst POTUS in history. Impeached twice. Convicted felon. Tried to stage a coup. Sold state secrets. But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

Tonight I learned something I’ve always suspected. Most people will support a rapist over a woman.

I immigrated the “right way.” I am privileged. I had resources. It still sucked. It was hard. Because of my experience, I want to make immigration easier. I can’t understand why ppl who experienced it the “right” way want to create barriers for those who come after them
