Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

BREAKING: The CEO of @Hertz wrote a letter to Puerto Rico‘s representative in Congress stating that Hertz has rewritten its policy to make it abundantly clear that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory - not a foreign country - & because of that Puerto Rico driver’s licenses are not international IDs they are just as valid as any ID from any state in this union. This news follows the story I first reported last week, where a Puerto Rican man at the New Orleans international airport was denied a rental car because at least two Hertz workers said his license was international. On top of that, the man who recorded the incident, had the police called on him by a Hertz employee who said he can never rent from Hertz again because he recorded the incident. *She was wrong; he can rent from Hertz again*. The police officer who responded to the call was dismissive and rude and is now the subject of an internal investigation by his police department because the customer, Mr. Humberto Marchand, filed a complaint with the @KennerPolice. Following our report, Representative @Jenniffer wrote a letter to Hertz asking for a companywide educational campaign, and she got it.
Lastly: Puerto Ricans are United States citizens. Please share.
