“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Kamala Harris was the perfect candidate and she ran a beautiful campaign of joy, empathy, and unity.

She just happened to run in a nation that is addicted to nihilism, cruelty, and division.

Tens of millions of families and friendships were irrevocably fractured tonight.

That will never show up in the data, but it will be where some of the greatest damage is felt.

We just witnessed the US collapse and they cheered for their own demise. Poor dumb bastards.

Everyone that voted Kamala, you did your best, stay strong and survive, you are not alone.

You still have 15 minutes to get in line in Wisconsin. Once you're in line you will be allowed to vote.

[Art Candee 🍿🥤 @ArtCandee]

Polls have just closed in the critical swing states of Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin.

If you're in line, STAY THERE!

And vote for VP Kamala Harris!!!!

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.

Right now, local clerks in Michigan are allowing the last people who were in line to vote, checking in absent voter (AV) ballots that arrived before 8PM local time (comparing signatures) and starting to close up precinct locations.

Thank you, San Antonio, for re-electing me to another term in the U.S. House of Representatives!

I'm so proud to represent our hometown and it will be an honor to continue working for you in Congress.

With much love, Joaquin.

The big day’s here. Let’s go make history!

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.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Polls just closed in Wisconsin—except the ones with lines. If you're in line, stay in line.
