This is Monroe Nichols. He was just elected the first black Mayor of Tulsa, Oklahoma, 103 years after the Tulsa Race Massacre.
RETWEET to congratulate Mayor Nichols on his historic victory!
@JakeWallinger It was. I was in my first real office job. It was at a staffing firm—an industry hit bad by the 08-09 recession. But on Inauguration Day, the CEO and owner brought in crates of champagne and we watched on TV. She said we were witnessing history. I would give anything to be there
Former Trump aide Griffin: For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris. I don't agree with all of her policies, but today it's about a brighter future. I think the best thing for the country is that Donald Trump loses and Kamala Harris is elected
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.

Trump confirms he would give anti-vaxxer RFK Jr total control of public health agencies: “He's gonna do pretty much what he wants as far as I'm concerned. He wants health for women.”
This should scare the hell out of you. Vote!
If you ever want a quick way to test if you’re on the wrong side of history, just check in with universally beloved travel educator and PBS host Rick Steves.
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
