This is evil.

every news cycle for the next four years is just going to be

Monday: Trump has fired all the people who were responsible for keeping poo out of the drinking water

Tuesday: okay for some reason there is now a lot of poo in the drinking water

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is Trump’s first major loss.
When we fight, we win.

We may not have majorities in the House and the Senate, but we DO have the power to loudly educate and mobilize against the mass looting the Trump admin is attempting against our veterans, healthcare, education, and more.

.@jrchangstrom: That Christmas prince guy looks mean. He's not mean, right?"

"No, he's allegedly hot though."

Incredible news. Zooey Zephyr, my fiancée, was re-elected to the Montana House of Representatives, getting 83% of the vote.

Many of you will remember her for standing up for trans people in Montana, and then getting censured and kicked off the House floor.

I'm so proud of her.

all i can say is live. you have to live. if you’re trans, queer, a woman, bipoc, disabled, an immigrant: you must live. we have to support each other. we have to be visible and loud if and when we can. and above all else we have to live

There's a lot of hopelessness among trans people right now. This election was and is existential for us.

I want to reach out to all the people out there who are struggling tonight and tell my story.

I was 12 when I first realized I was trans. It was 1999 in rural Louisiana...

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

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.

So how many of y'all are having "red mirage" PTSD.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

It took several days to count every ballot in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the outcome tonight either. So please keep a few things in mind as you make your voice heard today:

– Thousands of election workers around the country are working hard today. Respect them. Thank them. 

– Don’t share things before checking your sources. 

– Let the process run its course. It takes time to count every ballot.
