I sent a text to friends this morning & some asked me to share more widely, so here it is 🧵:
I woke up just feeling like he doesn’t get to take anything more from me than he’s going to take no matter what I do. If he kills us all, then I die. But he doesn’t get my mind too.
It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won. Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases won. Vladimir Putin won. Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won. Most of all: Fear Won. That's what hurts.
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
I’ll never understand how we all watched this live on television and didn’t immediately disqualify Donald Trump from public office for the rest of his life.
I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.
It’s crazy how no one knows this, but the tax law currently in place is because of Trump and it completely fucked over the middle class. Doing any sliver of research would do this country wonders.
He's got the senate, he's got the house, he's got the Supreme Court, and he's got the Presidency.
He can do what he wants now. There will be no checks and balances.
The dictatorship is here.
Some will applaud it, but even they will suffer under it too.
Think about how fast this country sent hordes of riot police with tear gas, batons, and tasers to arrest anti-war students & their teachers.
Now think about every medical bill you've paid, every homeless person you've seen, every school that relies on bake sales to buy supplies.
The latest posts from Motaz, Bisan, Ismail Jood and more Palestinian journalists are heartbreaking. They have lost any hope of surviving.
They have done everything they could just to share what's happening with us while trying to survive a genocide. I have no words.
watching them use of OUR tax money while simultaneously telling us they “don’t have it” when we demand for a better life HERE. should radicalized everyone.
This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.

In the past 20 minutes, Palestinian and Israeli media are reporting that the Israeli Air Force (IAF) has launched what appears to be the most violent and massive air campaign against targets inside the Gaza Strip.
According to the Palestinians, this is the heaviest and unprecedented attack by Israeli warplanes since hostilities began earlier this month.
Local media reports a complete disruption of communication and internet systems throughout the Palestinian territory.
All regions of the Gaza Strip are now under airstrikes, as the sound of massive explosions was heard everywhere.
