@Silv3rhand__ @PabloMakes Ice Wave Impedance should at least be included in his kit because his 2 is pretty useless without it. Maybe Icy Avalanche as well since other warframes have built-in overguard abilities.

@PabloMakes Pablo, as a Frost main since 2017, let me just say that I love you! I've been wanting the portable snow globe for years! But can it please be a tap-and-hold ability instead of another augment, please?

I'm not going to be posting on Twitter any time soon. I don't want to deactivate my account in case someone steals it, so... You can find me on Threads (dtaina3) and Discord (DTaina).

Stay safe, everyone. There are dark times ahead of us with King Trump and his enemies list.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

I'm going to step away from Twitter for a while. Seeing people celebrating someone who threw paper towels while I was in the dark after two back-to-back hurricanes is too much.

This is what you wanted, America. You voted for this. I sincerely hope you don't come to regret it.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@KamalaHarris Thank you for everything, VP Harris. For a while there, I felt hopeful for a brighter future. I dearly wish the American people had done the right thing and elected you as our president.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@MultiversalDork Yeah, we just gotta stick together and do what we can to survive these next four years.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

I'm just so sad. I really thought better of the United States. I really thought we'd be able to look forward to a brighter future. Now... I'm just expecting the worst in the years ahead.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@MultiversalDork Oh, I hear you. Believe me, I feel very jaded right now, too. We want to believe that good will triumph over evil, but the truth is that so many will embrace the evil that's staring them in the face. I just have no hope for the U.S. anymore. I hate feeling this hopeless.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@MultiversalDork There I was, stupidly thinking about how much better things were going to get for us going forward, and today, I just feel gutted. I just didn't expect that the United States would give in to hatred and division. I should've known better.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@Nortyv1 I feel sick, too. There are no words.

@NickKnudsenUS Last ditch effort for sanity...

[Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 @NickKnudsenUS]

I have a confession and a plea to folks who are flirting with voting Jill Stein.

When I was a 20 year old college student in 2000, I voted for Ralph Nader instead of Al Gore. I loved the progressive message Nader offered, and Bush and Gore seemed kinda the same to someone who was paying peripheral attention.

I've regretted that vote for my entire adult life.

Ultimately, George Bush won by a margin of 500+ votes in the state of Florida over Gore. And that was the ballgame. Ralph Nader peeled 97,000+ votes away from Gore. If only 600 of those 90,000 had voted for the major party candidate that more aligned with their values, things would have been very different.

When I was in my senior year of college, 9/11 happened. The country and western world rallied around Bush's resolute response to the traumatizing terror attacks. I was in NY at the time, and it was a terrifying moment for the nation.

But the consequences of Bush being in office at that moment were immense.

Bush's disdain for his dad's nemesis, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, led him to invent a rationale to invade a country that literally had nothing to do with 9/11. End result? He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi people, thousands of American troops, and spent over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money in the process.

Beyond the completely immoral and indefensible Iraq War, Bush was a complete disaster as a president. His "No Child Left Behind" effort turned public schools into standardized testing centers. He tripled down on fossil fuels and ignored climate change. His tax cuts for the rich helped contribute to the 2008 economic downturn that led to the Great Recession.

He was a terrible president.

In an alternate reality, Al Gore would have been president in 2001 when terrorists attacked America. Would he have gone into Iraq? Absolutely not. Would he have ignored global warming? 100% no! Gore was perhaps the preeminent proponent of fighting climate change at that time. Would he have passed massive tax cuts for the wealthy? No way.

This is a sliding doors scenario. What would have happened? We can't be sure. But one thing is for sure: those votes for Ralph Nader (in Florida in particular) were EXCEPTIONALLY consequential for the lives of millions around the world. Gore would have offered a more forward-facing, environmentally conscious & peaceful presidency that wasn't so rooted in grievance and privilege.

My point is:

Either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump will win the election. That is a fact. You might feel the need to submit a "protest vote" as I did in 2000.

Just be ready to wear it when Donald Trump wins, strips away reproductive rights from all Americans, implements an economy-destroying tariff, dismantles the entire federal government, eliminates the Department of Education, prosecutes his perceived enemies, and devolves America into chaos.

There are no perfect choices. But rest assured, there are only two.

Trust me - I've been wearing my vote for a quarter century.

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

Let's elect TWO Harrises tomorrow & end the embarrassment that is Marjorie Taylor Greene once & for all! Georgia, you can do America an enormous favor by electing the FAR superior candidate: SHAWN HARRIS. @ShawnForGeorgia is the ONE!🗳️☑️

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

NEW AD: Tomorrow is our chance to reclaim the American dream and restore the promise of freedom.

Let’s rise.

@WhiskeySlvrBall @DevontayBr75111 @kasie @CNNThisMorning I'm Latina. LOL Seriously, I've got the Puertorican flag next to my name and everything. And it's rich that you're calling a Latina a racist after you stereotyped all Latinos as rapists/murderers. You're the one behaving like a racist, not me. Do better.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@WhiskeySlvrBall @DevontayBr75111 @kasie @CNNThisMorning So you're just going to keep stereotyping all Latinos as murderers/rapists like your boy, Trump. Most Latinos who cross the border are just looking to make a better life for their families, but you're punishing all of them for the actions of a few. It's the Trumpian way, I guess.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@WhiskeySlvrBall @DevontayBr75111 @kasie @CNNThisMorning You realize that you're stereotyping an entire group of people, right? I don't think you do.

[D. Taína 🇵🇷 @dtaina]

@WhiskeySlvrBall @DevontayBr75111 @kasie @CNNThisMorning Yeah, every country has bad people. It doesn't matter what color their skin is, what language they speak, or where they're from. What's your point?

[Mark Hamill @MarkHamill]

Thanks, pal. 👍
