Just for the record: He is still guilty and is a felon. He's just not facing a punishment for the crimes that he is GUILTY of committing.

It will only further embolden him as he continues his re-enactment of 1930s Germany.

@realTrumpNewsX Lap Dog Trump doesn't have the authority to "eliminate" Pride Month and National Veterans and Military Families Month already exists (November). Organise a parade or some shit if you care that much. (Something not one of my military family or friends have ever shown interest in.)

@Bakari_Sellers He loves the poorly educated... and the poorly educated love him. So it's a win-win for the twice impeached, convicted rapist. 🙁

@MinusPeach I love the Washington system. Pre-paid postage, accessible drop boxes, and an option for in-person voting on election day. Plus overseas/military voters can vote electronically. As an overseas Washingtonian, this makes it so much easier to use my franchise.

Go, Washington!! 💚

We will not cower! Thank you, @BobFergusonAG for working towards fairness and equality!

We’ve been working for months to prepare for another Trump term. 

We’ve gone line by line through Project 2025. We’re ready to take on unconstitutional assaults on your reproductive rights, access to health care, and civil rights. 

Elections have consequences, and presidents have a lot of power — that’s appropriate. But we will not stand by if the President exceeds his authority and acts unlawfully in a manner that harms Washingtonians. We will stand up for the Rule of Law.  

And we won’t stop governing. We have a lot of work to do. I will fight to improve the lives of all Washingtonians, regardless of whom they voted for.

@RichRaho Catholic social teaching coupled with theological thinkers like Aquinas mean I did not, I could not, vote for that man.

I will pray (and act) to keep our vulnerable and marginalized people safe from the harms his policies will cause.

[Frances Ryan (she/her) 🇺🇸in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @cleverfrances]

I am broken now... but we won't sit back and let America burn without a fight! We will come back from this stronger and braver. In the meantime, we need to focus on protecting those who some will seek to harm. 💙

As an overseas voter, I'll be in bed before the first returns come in.

Here's hoping this delicious @diffordsguide Blue Lady helps me to drift off to lovely dreams of joyful blue waves!

This is a non-political post to ease the anxiety... please play along and bring some fun to the day! 🙂

Imagine that time freezes for everyone but you for one day. What do you do? How would you spend those 24 hours?

[Frances Ryan (she/her) 🇺🇸in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @cleverfrances]

I think I'll have a @diffordsguide cocktail after work this evening, but I can't decide which to enjoy!

This Catholic has also voted for #HarrisWalz2024 because that is the ticket that provides the best hope for humanity.

Faithful Catholics must vote for the ticket most likely to promote a dignified quality of life for all and the works of social justice throughout our society. In such a broadened view, this Catholic must vote for @KamalaHarris, says Thomas Groome. https://t.co/HqlNa9zoHf

Today is the day! If you have the franchise, get out and VOTE! If you don't have the franchise, encourage others to get out and VOTE!

This election is for the soul of America! 💙

Your dad's Republican party is dead. Trump and his cronies are dragging its corpse along the campaign trail in hopes the American people won't know the difference, but we do. These aren't real Republicans, they are fascist thugs. Vote for sanity. Vote for Kamala Harris.

[Frances Ryan (she/her) 🇺🇸in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @cleverfrances]

We're in the final stretch. I'm struggling to keep calm, but I'm hopeful we'll keep (a promoted) Kalm! 💙

Live from New York, it's Saturday night.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump’s dirty election night trick doesn’t work if you know it’s coming. Let me explain.

[Frances Ryan (she/her) 🇺🇸in🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @cleverfrances]

I voted... *and* confirmed my ballot has been received/accepted.

Don't forget to check your ballot status, if it's a service available in your state!

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Have you voted yet?
