Regardless of the outcome, I need to make one thing clear. FUCK TRUMP.

[dmg04 @A_dmg04]

This message is for those who had a lot to lose with this election, and for those with empathy. There’s hurt, there’s embarrassment, there’s fear, and there’s so much more.

There will be a lot of time for messages of hope, unity, protection and support as we move forward. Right now, it’s all about feeling.

Everyone needs that room. Everyone needs that moment to let feelings exist, and that moment to acknowledge them for what they are.

You’re allowed to feel. You’re allowed to fear. You’re allowed to worry about your friends, family, or anyone who may be impacted by changes in laws and policy to come.

I’m not going to sit here and convince anyone that they need to change how they’re feeling. I’m not going to say that everything will be “fine” for education, healthcare, gender equality or other important issues under the impending administration.

My only request is to remain rational, to remain as healthy as possible, and to frankly keep breathing.

We’re all tired. We know how hard it is to work for a better future. We just… can’t let go of that dream.

We can’t let go of that better future for all.

We’ll talk again soon. I’ll always want to do everything possible to help communities in need, to push for that better future for you and everyone around… but even I need that time to feel right now. As do you.

Much love, all. 💛

Don't be alarmed by Trump taking an early lead in the electoral vote count. We knew Kentucky, West Virginia, and other deep red states would be the first to be called. Hang in there. And if you're still in line to vote, stay there.

Do NOT panic during this first part of the evening.

Rural counties report first because they have fewer votes to count -- tends to result in Republicans coming out to early leads.

Democratic count tends to come in later in the evening.

Keep Kamala and carry on a la.

Stay in line.

If you're in line when the polls close, you have the right to vote.

Stay in line.

Don't be deterred. Your vote will be counted.

Stay in line.

Making my snack list for tonight as I plan to watch as the states are called in the election. Going to be a long night for sure but I'm hopeful.

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein.

When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention.

I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life.

Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different.

When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation.

But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense.

Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process.

Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession.

He was a terrible president.

In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way.

This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege.

My point is:

Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000.

Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos.

There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two.

Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.

@notcapnamerica People feigning anger over a squirrel and raccoon being killed but not be outraged when a human life is needlessly lost will always confound me.
