At the cost of all of our lives. I will never find humor in the destruction of our democracy. We should all be afraid, maybe fear might wake everyone up once and for all, if we live to see the end of this disaster.
No one should ever regret voting for the best choice there was, just look at what he is already doing, and he has not even been sworn in. What a mess, sad for all of us. I am proud I put our country first.
Boy, did I mess up. I have to go out into the world 2 days in a row. That should do me for another month. Ever since the lockdown, I don’t care if I ever leave my house or not. Is anyone else in the same boat as I am? Would rather be home than out?
BREAKING: The UK may have to provide troops to Kiev if Trump and Republicans cut aid, per Boris Johnson.
Seems like a step closer to WWIII under Trump.
Eric Hovde, the Republican U.S. Senate candidate in Wisconsin who lost to Sen. Tammy Baldwin, has refused to concede and is now spreading debunked lies about the election online.
In January, for the first time in American history, two Black women will serve in the United States Senate at the same time. These two women double the number of elected Black women in history and are numbers 4 and 5 to ever serve.
They are indeed our ancestors wildest dreams. And perhaps just a century ago, months after women got the rights to vote, and a generation or two from Slavery, too few would have imagined this moment.
I celebrate these two extraordinary public servants: Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland.
Their election also means that there will be a record number (5) of Black Senators serving in the Senate at the same time.
They will also be joining the most racially diverse Senate in history.
When I was first sworn in 11 years ago, the Senate was the least diverse place I had ever worked by any metric – age, gender, background, and race. I am proud to continue to see this broader shift to a body that more closely reflects the America it serves.
This and I will never understand why it was not done. I believe it would have given us more peace, and helped to accept what we could not change. If the counts turned out to be the same.
(📢) FYI—I may be spending more time at Bluesky. I grow so tired of this broken, hateful, utterly soulless platform and its equally vile owner.
I hope that if you have an account over at Bluesky—which is getting very nice—you will consider following.

Bad is the best term for what is coming. We barley scraped by the last time with some guard rails, this time it is wide open spaces and there is no one to help or protect. Once the Supreme Courts were lost to the people we went down from there.
