I’m joining the mass exodus to threads. Please, please join me there. You can actually block. Really block. I’m going to leave this up for a few days in hopes of finding my people. I would be so grateful if you’d retweet this because it won’t be seen if you don’t. Leaving you with peace, love and understanding. 💙

@GregTSargent @speechboy71 I disagree. This is the column that gets it exactly right:

I just pulled my friend out of the bed that hasn’t showered and been crying since Tuesday and we made a plan. So can you💙

The challenge, after a loss, is to learn something *new.* Most people aren't doing that right now. They're taking in information and trying to fit that within their prevailing world view.

The NEW thing I'm learning is: People do not and will not vote for harm mitigation...

Hey @washingtonpost she went wrong being born a black female in a white, misogynistic, patriarchal society. Hope this helps🙄

My gay kid just called me at 3am to check on me…they said I’m together with all my friends, everyone is upset.. one friend is throwing up..but mom, we’re all gonna be ok…because we’re all here for each other. And I’m dying inside.

Have Mike Johnson and Trump revealed that secret yet?

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

There’s no just giving up or tuning out. Authoritarianism doesn’t just stop because you quit looking at it. And there are so many people who deserve your help and support and solidarity who don’t have the privilege to give up.

It’s not about Dobbs, not about Roe… it’s about the patriarchy and controlling women. They were NEVER going to elect a woman much less a black woman.

Put @ElieNYC and @DeeTwoCents on MSNBC and CNN tonight. No need to hear from all the Republicans and "centrists" who were wrong about everything. Talk to Black folks who were right about everything.

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

Whatever happens tonight, the targeting of polling places and election officials should serve as a massive red flag.

Democracy isn’t just in danger at the political level. There’s a concerted effort to interfere in the carrying out of free and fair elections.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...

Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.

A thread

[RustBeltRefugee @RaveOn56]

@JYSexton Cheers to that!

[Jared Yates Sexton @JYSexton]

Third time I’ve voted against that racist, sexist, fascist piece of shit.

Here’s to never having to do it again.

Our back porch is now metaphorically an airport lounge. It’s 9:50 am and my husband just put wild Turkey in his coffee🤣
