The media this morning saying Dems need to have a reckoning.

No, we don't. We can't be blamed because we expected Americans to be who they always claim they are.

Democrats don't have a messaging problem. America has a racism problem.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If Harris wins, will Congress certify the results?

There are now 172 election deniers in Congress.

But the new Congress gets sworn in before the presidential election is certified.

Your down ballot votes could decide whether your presidential vote is respected or discarded.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

Folks, I need to reiterate: if Pelosi says we have the House, we have the House. And I am sure there are broader implications for the map and all races. Stay calm but confident, text your friends and make sure they have voted!!! 🗳️🩵💙

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

104 years ago on November 2-3, during Election Day in 1920, the single bloodiest day in modern America political history happened, The Ocoee Massacre.

A black man attempted to vote & the Ku Klux Klan responded with rampage that led to the exile/death of every black person that lived there

—The dark day in Florida's history escalated after one Black citizen tried to exercise his right to vote at a polling location but was turned away on Election Day.

Mose Norman, who had been part of the voter registration drive in Orange County, decided to vote in the national election on November 2. When he attempted to do so, twice, he was turned away from the polls.
When Norman was driven away the second time, a white mob, then numbering over 100 men, decided to hunt him down. Concluding he had taken refuge in the home of another local Black resident, Julius “July” Perry, they rushed Perry’s home hoping to capture both men there. Norman escaped and was never found while Perry defended his home, killing two white men, Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard, who tried to enter through the back door. The mob called for reinforcements from Orlando and surrounding Orange County. Eventually they caught and killed Perry and hung his dead body from a telephone post by the highway from Ocoee to Orlando to intimidate other potential Black voters. Perry’s wife, Estelle Perry, and their daughter were wounded during the attack on the Perry home. They were sent to Tampa by local law enforcement officers.
The mob then turned on the Black community of Ocoee.
Homes and properties of Black families were scorched, burnt to the ground. At least four Black individuals were confirmed killed -- one of which was lynched, his body hanging from a tree limb for all to see.

On June 21, 2019, a historical marker honoring July Perry and others killed in the massacre was placed in Heritage Square outside the Orange County Regional History Center.

Prediction: #HarrisWalz in a landslide.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Ignore the polls. Get out & vote.

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Oh look, LeBron was asked about a public political statement that he made and he explained IN DETAIL why he did it.

Nick Bosa doesn’t have the guts to do this.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

If you let your husband tell you how to vote, it's your marriage, not your choice on the ballot, that you should be questioning.

Lina Khan is amazing. Leon Musk will be fired soon.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

How do we know that Lina Khan has done an excellent job as FTC chair?

Because billionaires and business leaders want her gone.

She's been an avid anti-trust enforcer and defender of working people.

She's also been an oligarch's worst nightmare.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The failure of the press to meet the moment we're in is beyond words.

Then reduce the workforce.

[Tahman Bradley @tahmanbradley]

$300 million property tax hike.

Mayor Johnson will tell City Council that without a property tax increase of $300 million the city would be forced to reduce its workforce by 17%

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)

To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!

Michelle said, "Come on, Cleatus"

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Trump goes on unhinged rant about Michelle Obama and hints at seeking retribution: “Nasty to me... That was a big mistake that she made”

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

I have some real concerns about what another Trump presidency means for women in this country — and I wanted to share some of my thoughts. If this resonates with you, send this video to every single person you know and remind them what’s at stake in this election.
