America chose Trump. Fidelity to the Constitution means we must live with that outcome, not plot to overthrow it, violently or otherwise. But that doesn’t mean we should accept the darkest implications of his victory. The choice was binary. The future never was. The work awaits.
It is a breathtaking show of cowardice and irresponsibility if the nation's newspaper refuses to make an endorsement in this existential election. Will Lewis, Jeff Bezos, David Shipley are all complicit in this. Shame on them all.
The cowardly decisions by the billionaire owners of WaPo and the LATimes to withhold their newspapers’ endorsements of Kamala Harris for fear of losing favor with a future President Trump represent pathetic examples of bowing to tyranny without even waiting to be ordered around.

In 2017, Trump’s plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act failed by just one vote in the Senate.
That one vote made the difference for millions of Americans between losing and keeping their health care coverage.
We can’t let Trump back in the White House to try that again.
Since Roe fell, Republicans have blocked @SenateDems bills to:
Protect access to reproductive health care
Protect access to safe abortions
Protect access to IVF
Protect access to birth control
Protect the freedom to travel out of state to get an abortion
Protect doctors who provide reproductive health care
Protect access to reproductive care for servicemembers and veterans
Protect gamete donation, most often used by LBGTQ+ couples
Ensure IVF is covered by insurance
The list goes on and on...
I’ve been really busy today, but if you pay attention to nothing else out of from Trump, pay attention to this.
HE WANTS TO SERIALIZE IMMIGRANTS.
This isn’t just Nazi-ish, it’s full-blown holocaust shit, and if you can’t denounce this, something is seriously wrong with you.
The Supreme Court had all male justices for 192 years until 1981. So to balance that out, and in the interest of fairness, I think it should be nine women for the next 192 years.
Trump and the GOP think women over 50 shouldn't care about reproductive freedom because they can't reproduce. Well, as a man I can't reproduce either. But I care about freedom and the right of all people to control their own bodies. You don't need to be a woman to support choice.
