Not a “Karen”

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did. As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet. It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law. I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all. I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation. I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever. We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be. There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will. I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me. I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

Notice, by the way, that Trump’s claims of “cheating” in Pennsylvania have magically dissipated. He’s a liar to the core—but our country doesn’t mind.

@BeingHelpish I’m so disheartened.

@BMeiselas it’s been going on for decades

If you want to know what it looks like when an elderly racist whose understanding of Black Americans hails from the Jim Crow era tries to scare Black voters away from the polls, it looks *exactly* like this (and to be clear, there is neither cheating nor law enforcement present):

To GA Voters - STAY IN LINE!! 🇺🇸

But @JDVance said he wouldn’t ban or censor reporters?

😆

@flacachica1105 @JoshSchwerin Wouldn’t it be great if it was towed while he was in there?!

@JoshSchwerin And Rudy Giuliani pulling up to vote in a vehicle that was ordered to be seized in defiance of a court order. Definitely a violation of federal law. x.com/arogDC/status/…

If Harris wins North Carolina, it shuts Trump the fuck up early. North Carolina, you know what to do.

Unfriendly reminder that three of the conservative justices on the Supreme Court —Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett—worked for Team Bush on the Bush v. Gore litigation that handed the 2000 election to Bush.

If Harris wins, will Congress certify the results? There are now 172 election deniers in Congress. But the new Congress gets sworn in before the presidential election is certified. Your down ballot votes could decide whether your presidential vote is respected or discarded.

Really is a tough call. On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman Quite the dilemma

Dan Rather is right

Oh.

Riot fencing is being installed in DC ahead of the election. This isn’t normal and the press needs to be clear why. Trump incited a violent insurrection and continues to present an ongoing threat to our democracy. The security measures are entirely due to the danger he presents.

Oh hell no.

@acnewsitics Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that infant deaths in Texas increased by 12.9% in the year following the states ban on abortion attributed to the law.

Donald Trump likes to claim that he’s done more for Black folks than any president since Abraham Lincoln. But as this piece outlines, that is another one of his shameless lies. On Tuesday, let’s make the right choice and elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz! thehill.com/opinion/campai…

WE RIDE AT DAWN! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 #VoteBlue #YourVoteMatters
