Remember when Trump said they already had the votes?
Remember when Trump said no one would ever have to vote again?
Remember when Trump said he & Mike Johnson had "a little secret"?
Remember how fast Elon & Trump became friends?
I definitely do 😡
Countless Americans are endangered now on a scale and intensity almost unheard of in modern America. Our first responsibility is to protect these people and resist these forces.
This is perhaps the hardest part about today: realizing that our fellow Americans saw all of that; watched all of that; listened to all of that, and still said, “Yes, that’s what we want.” That’s who we are. https://t.co/FAWqPet9GI
Donald Trump is a historic national emergency, and should be treated as a historic national emergency. And America is quite simply not the country some of us thought it was for having elected him. The answer now is not to bend to his contemptible nihilism or pander to bad people.
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.
.@clairecmc: "Turns out fear and anger were the most powerful political tools right now in America... and we got to come to grips with that. This isn't as much about Donald Trump as it is about America." https://t.co/6ImLvKzM7u
"This was a conquering of the nation not by force but with a permission slip," writes @llerer. "Now, America stands on the precipice of an authoritarian style of governance never before seen in its 248-year history." https://t.co/2P0ZVLp2o0
Thought this morning of Sir Edward Grey's famous line on the eve of WWI: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime." But we cannot let the lamps go out, and we must continue to try to light them.
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.
Wow. This new Kamala Harris ad narrated by Viola Davis is one of the most powerful things I’ve watched. It tells the story, experience, & vision of Kamala Harris & why she is ready for this. It’s a masterpiece & it sent chills down my body. Watch & share.
Richard Gere wants voters in his home state to know that this election is extremely important and it's not too late to get involved.
