Funny how people always say “avoid that like the plague” and then the plague shows up and millions of people do very little to avoid it.

We all need to keep two seemingly contradictory facts in mind

1. We are entering the hardest days of the pandemic. The next two months will see a lot of infections and deaths

2. there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Today, that light got a bit brighter

Be safe. Mask up

I’m elated to see people celebrating all over the US right now & so glad that the voters issued a repudiation of Trump. It matters. Yes, there’s a lot more to go but I’m happy for this moment & for people experiencing a sense of relief & breath of fresh air after 4 years of hell.

The Black Belt story is painful but profound. 

The death of plankton led to the life of cotton, which led to the bondage of enslaved people who harvested it, which led to the freedom of the voters who descended from them.  

Death leads to Life leads to Bondage leads to Freedom.

Inescapably crushing.

[Gabriel Sherman @gabrielsherman]

Incredible how competitive Trump is with 230K+ covid deaths and kids being locked in cages and everything else. Even if Biden wins he will have to govern in a Trump country. This is who America is.

They should’ve hosted #PresidentialDebate2020 on Zoom so the moderator could mute whoever’s talking over the other. #willyoushutupman

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

In 2016 & ‘17, I paid thousands of dollars a year in taxes *as a bartender.*

Trump paid $750.

He contributed less to funding our communities than waitresses & undocumented immigrants.

Donald Trump has never cared for our country more than he cares for himself. A walking scam.

As we saw this summer, Trumpism is the violent defense of white male supremacy. Adherents think they are facing a choice between white male supremacy and “anarchy.” Which is to say, white male supremacy is their law and order.
