Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.

Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.

What a devastating indictment of our country.

“And when will we hold these elections?”

“On a Tuesday. During work.”

[Dana Goldberg @DGComedy]

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

[Grace Van Dien @GraceVanDien]

All the men on the tl joking lightheartedly about the election and all the women actually being scared and nauseous. what in the dystopia

[Rachel Bitecofer 🗽🦆 @RachelBitecofer]

In Florida both Amendment 3 and 4 have majority support but both with fail because Florida Republicans rigged the system to require 60% to pass citizen initiatives.

They essentially filibustered direct democracy in FL.

Lisa Blunt Rochester won election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware, becoming the state's first Black and first woman to serve in the role.

She is the fourth-ever Black woman to serve in the Senate.

[zodiac is on blacksky @TheZodiacHeir]

Let’s be very clear.

Y’all got played so hard.

She co-opted your politic and language hoping for the progressive vote and y’all bought into it, meanwhile she is equally committed to preserving Israel, her running mate turned out to be a transphobe and anti-abortion.

Jordan did not endorse Trump. Brady did not endorse Trump. Tony Hawk did not endorse Trump. No Community Note.

ever since i was a little girl, i knew i wanted rights

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

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.

[Trey Ferguson @PastorTrey05]

I literally cannot think of a single point in time where I regarded Donald Trump as fit for office.

[PoliticsGirl @IAmPoliticsGirl]

This has to stop. Our elections cannot be for sale. We must reverse Citizen’s United and get dark money out of politics.

Also… while being on Twitter aka X… I noticed the large amount of ad support for the orange guy… like it’s noticeably different. And I don’t follow ANYONE who supports him so whyyy is the algorithm only showing his ads

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Doug Emhoff isn’t running for president.

Your candidate is, and he has been found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers; accused of sexual assault or harassment by over 20 different women; and even publicly engaged in misogynistic abuse against… *checks notes*… you.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Can I ask why it’s not even major news that tapes came out this week in which the most notorious pedophile in American history — who was mysteriously MURDERED while incarcerated — said he was BEST FRIENDS with Donald fucking Trump?
