Hey all. I am a bit shellshocked. I cannot quite process the multi-pronged reality of what his victory means for America, its place in the world and so much more that is hard to even fathom right now. I hope eventually our country comes out of this era in one piece and we learn from and study how this all happened.
I am not remotely as tough of a human as many of you are, due to a lot of complex life experiences I have had. I admire so many of you who have given it your all to stand up for what you believe and know is right, against so much hate and so many lies—and all that has gone with it. It has been incredibly draining since 2016—and to have this happen tonight, its just….impossible to believe & process.
Many of you will choose to continue to fight the fight in big or small ways —I wish I had that strength of mind. I don’t. My mental health comes first. Its all going to be way, way too toxic to keep devoting so much time & energy to try to keep up with every insane thing going on like I have for 7.5 years on here, wanting to educate people on the news that mattered most—because its most likely going to get worse & very dark at times for a long period. I apologize profusely that I just don’t have it in me.
Politics and the way it entwines into our lives in the Trump era is just *so* incredibly toxic. I will not post on politics anymore. Going forward, I will focus on fighting anti-semitism, educating people via history as I have done for years. If you want to continue to follow me, that is awesome. If you don’t, I totally respect that and thank you for the love these past years. Complex PTSD sucks and tonight has blown mine up all over again for the first time in several years and I suspect done the same for millions who have experienced it before.
DJT is just too toxic. He has torn the country apart and it will only get much worse before someday it hopefully gets better again. Love and support those around you and who matter you the most. There are still so many amazing people in our midsts in all aspects of life. Be the best human you can be. Speak out when you feel you need to. Its all we can do to try to keep some normalcy in a country I was always proud of. Tonight, I feel shame and embarrassment and hurt for ~50% of us and how we must look to the rest of the world and what is store for our country and our allies and Ukraine and so much more. My god.
I have to just somehow accept this country is just overwhelmed with millions upon millions of people who are so angry and wrapped up in their hatreds that it blinds them to everything else. I want to try to find some peace and joy in whatever areas I can—please do the same. And fight the fight as hard as feels right but also take care of yourselves, all of you.
Russia is actively undermining our elections. We must return the favor, tonight. Let Ukraine target Russia. Do it now. There is no deterrence. Putin doesn’t fear the United States. 👇
This is the result of not holding Russia accountable. I don’t understand when the U.S. and Europe will finally understand that Russia escalates when they are allowed to act with impunity
My middle daughter, currently a freshman at Lehigh University, has been on line to vote for 6.5 hours and counting. She did meet Jonathan Groff, which was nice, but it sure smells like voter suppression to me.
@mpdillon Look, in 2020 Russia encouraged enough disinformation to kill an extra million people in the US. The US may not be at war with Russia but Russia is most certainly at war with the US and has been for a LONG TIME
for 80 millionth time, the only reason Pennsylvania can't do this is because Republicans blocked a bill that would've allowed the pre-processing of early votes
Do we have a @TheJusticeDept statement on the in-real-time Russian/Trump election interference bomb threats or is Merrick Garland in another coma? @POTUS? Anybody going to
I cannot emphasize enough how disturbing it is that Fulton and Dekalb county voting precincts were targeted for bomb threats.
These are the biggest, Blackest counties in Georgia. A quarter of the state's Black population between them.
MSNBC is reporting that the FBI is investigating multiple FAKE bomb threats that have been made to polling locations in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin all attributed to Russia. DON’T LET THEM SCARE YOU! There are no bombs! VOTE VOTE VOTE!
@KlassCarol Counties in every single part of PA are being targeted. Even small rural ones like Clearfield, Blair, and Cameron. It’s a large-scale, coordinated attack by Russia. Despicable!
🚨CHESTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA: Voters who were assigned to vote at the Government Services Center have been redirected to neighboring polling locations due to bomb threats. Voting is extended to 10 pm for affected voters only at the neighboring polling locations.
Polling places in black majority precincts in Georgia are staying open because the United States is currently under a terrorist attack from Russia interfering with our elections to install their asset back int he White House.
It's an overt act of war.
Holy fuck I am tired of hearing how Harris is "running behind the Biden numbers"...the FINAL Biden numbers. Holy shit. People are still voting. I hate this micro analysis of rural counties with 10,000 total votes like its a huge shift.
BREAKING NEWS UPDATE: Official Police Report regarding the evacuation of the Willowbank Building. It has been confirmed as a bomb threat received via email to the Elections Office.
