RT @gtconway3d: Bill is exactly right. There are a lot of micro-explanations and micro-excuses for what happened. And on the margins, any…

Check out this @Ipsos poll from last month. People who answered factual questions about inflation, crime, and immigration incorrectly were "more likely to opt for Trump," Ipsos said, while those who answered correctly preferred Harris. https://t.co/eHzrIb0TLi

.@RadioFreeTom: “In the end, a majority of American voters chose Trump because they wanted what he was selling: a nonstop reality show of rage and resentment. Some Democrats, still gripped by the lure of wonkery, continue to scratch their heads over which policy proposals might have unlocked more votes, but that was always a mug’s game. Trump voters never cared about policies, and he rarely gave them any. (Choosing to be eaten by a shark rather than electrocuted might be a personal preference, but it’s not a policy.) His rallies involved long rants about the way he’s been treated, like a giant therapy session or a huge family gathering around a bellowing, impaired grandpa.”

Awful: Trump allies are already saying mass deportations will begin on Day One, and hinting persecution of enemies/purging of govt will begin immediately.

Trump openly advertised authoritarian rule. Did voters choose it knowingly?

NEW: Trump’s allies and some in the private sector have been quietly preparing to detain and deport migrants residing in the United States on a large scale, sources tell me.

Those preparations are now expected to ramp up. https://t.co/L1stdtuM8r

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

“Every American knew, or should have known. The man elected president last night is a depraved and brazen pathological liar, a shameless con man, a sociopathic criminal, a man who has no moral or social conscience, empathy, or remorse. He has no respect for the Constitution and laws he will swear to uphold, and on top of all that, he exhibits emotional and cognitive deficiencies that seem to be intensifying, and that will only make his turpitude worse. He represents everything we should aspire not to be, and everything we should teach our children not to emulate. The only hope is that he’s utterly incompetent, and even that is a double-edged sword, because his incompetence often can do as much as harm as his malevolence. His government will be filled with corrupt grifters, spiteful maniacs, and morally bankrupt sycophants, who will follow in his example and carry his directives out, because that’s who they are and want to be.”

A seismic shift in US immigration policy is expected once President-elect Trump takes office.

He, his team have vowed to conduct the largest mass deportation in US history; end birthright citizenship; militarize the border; enact ideological screenings for legal immigrants; 1/

[Nicolette Glazer @NicoletteGlazer]

America has handed Trump a dark mandate on immigration; there is no way to escape the conclusion.

If you are a non-citizen without a green card in hand and are still thinking there are sunny days ahead, well, think again!

Buckle up, it will be a depressing 🧵

It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.

I appreciate this important report, particularly its recognition of the needs of immigrants with disabilities, including the need for improved language access and restored CHIRP funding. I look forward to the future work of the California Disability Leadership Alliance!

[Disability Rights California @DisabilityCA]

As National Disability Employment Awareness Month comes to a close, we're excited to announce the formation of the California Disability Leadership Alliance. The Alliance is made up of disability and Deaf leaders from disability-led organizations with the goal of building cross-disability collaboration, solidarity, and political power to influence and improve policies for disabled people in California.

Today The Alliance published its first report: State of the State: California Disability Policy in 2024. The report identifies policy areas like health care, education, transportation, housing, and employment in which lawmakers, state agency leaders, and advocates can partner to advance disability community interests.

Something you may not know: religious institutions like churches are exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act. But 20 percent of all polling places are in religious institutions, meaning many people with disabilities are denied the right to vote https://t.co/ftoHyZWNmg

.@propublica is doing some incredible work focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism.

Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
