@WajahatAli I am completely absolved of caring about a country that doesn’t care abt itself
Me & Mine did our part

The way elections work is you get to make demands of the people who won, not the folks y'all gave your a$$ to kiss. So now, with the Republican trifecta solidified, cabinet announcements, and Congressional leaders announced, y'all know who to call. And no, this ain't Who Wants to be a Millionaire, you don't get to phone a friend to save the country from the horrors 76 million people voted to unleash. #electionshaveconsequences #reeciecolbertshow

Chapter 47: The defining story of the 2024 election is the defining story of American history: White voters have consistently chosen white supremacy over democracy.

I don’t know where the dance world would be without Judith Jamison. Alvin Ailey made “Cry” specially for her & all Black Women. Her legacy & what she brought to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater as a dancer & director changed culture as we know it.

Don’t tell Black people how to process this Election. Nobody on earth shares the experience of the Black American. We have historically led the fight for civil rights and equality and are deserted and left behind in return. Let us be.

Sherrod Brown was an old school labor rights Democrat and he lost decisively to a car dealership owner who had to settle several wage theft lawsuits before running for office. This election was not about working class discontent.

[Naima Cochrane @naima]

Dems have an image problem, but I need everybody on the left to finally have a come to Jesus moment:

THIS WAS A VOTE FOR WHITE SUPREMACY & PATRIARCHY.

Y'all doing a whole lot of "wake up" talk while keeping blinders on about the clearest, most key fact in all of this.

[Prentice Penny (FUX YO BLUE CHECK) @The_A_Prentice]

I don’t wanna see no think pieces on why Kamala lost. She lost because America is racist and sexist at its core. That is the truth people refuse to acknowledge.

Can I say something…

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Lisa Blunt Rochester won election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware, becoming the state's first Black and first woman to serve in the role.

She is the fourth-ever Black woman to serve in the Senate.

Something to ponder as you head out to vote today, for free. In the Library's Rosa Parks Papers collection, there's a receipt for the poll tax she had to pay to vote in Alabama in 1956. Poll taxes, a Jim Crow-era voter suppression tool, were not abolished federally until 1964.
