Building things, telling stories.

To recap last 5 days--it's now known a POTUS elected without plurality, who then lost an elex, wanted to march on the Capitol with his armed supporters, to subvert the will of the people. This POTUS also appointed 3 SCOTUS who dismantled gun control & a woman's right to choose🇺🇸

Sound on.

Amazing to see two women in this picture and looking forward to when it’s 3. #sotu

Who are Turkeys thankful for on Thanksgiving?
Vegans.

#SB202 suppresses voters, criminalizes compassion & seizes election authority from local + state officials. In 11 years, I never witnessed a massive bill approved at such speed and signed in such desperation. This wasn’t efficiency or principle. This is cowardice. #gapol

When Democrats lost in 2016, they knitted pink hats and donated to Planned Parenthood.

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

Yes!!!

There are two Americas.

I want to speak directly to the Black women in our country. Thank you. You are too often overlooked, and yet are asked time and again to step up and be the backbone of our democracy. We could not have done this without you.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

The first one-term president in thirty years, and the only one to lose the popular vote twice.

Congrats on making history, @realDonaldTrump.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Please share with friends and family in Georgia:

If you voted absentee in Georgia, please check the status of your ballot now.

If it was rejected, you have until 5pm on Friday, November 6, to fix it and make sure your vote counts.

"I'm speaking." This should be a 101 taught to all young girls. Nobody taught us this in the '80s.

'Stand back': to take a few steps backwards

'Stand by': to be or to get ready to act

People say it was awful. But return to these basic questions. Biden said if he wins, he’ll keep the ACA, add a public option, support Roe v Wade, enact a climate change plan. Trump defended his record and attacked Hunter Biden, but didn’t really say what he’d do if re-elected.

“Clearly this debate was an embarrassment for the United States of America,” - @wolfblitzer #Debate2020

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump’s refusal to commit to the peaceful transfer of power is the behavior of a desperate would-be dictator who’d cling to office even if it meant destroying our democracy.

It’s pathetic. But because he is the president, we should take his threat seriously.

[Wolf Blitzer @wolfblitzer]

Did you ever think we would wake up and see headlines like these in the @washingtonpost and @nytimes !!
