I’ve been at @nyulangone emergency room since 8pm yesterday. Since 2am this morning my pain has been at a 9 out of 10.

I have been asking the doctors for hours to please follow the pain regiment in my chart and they won’t listen to me.

Thread. What is happening right now at the New York Times is important and dangerous. I've tried to document it thoroughly below.

The Indianapolis Star, Indiana, November 22, 1918

[Morgan Harper @mh4oh]

Law enforcement officers killed a 23 year-old man in Columbus today.

Yes, he was Black.

And yes they shot him in the back.

“The US Marshal confirmed the man who was killed was not the person the task force was searching for.”

Joe Biden quoting this song just now put this former Catholic school kid deep in his feels

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

I know America has worn me the fuck down but is... Joe Biden... killing it???? Like, is this actually a great speech????

[Rhea Boyd MD, MPH @RheaBoydMD]

I'm going to say something that might be hard to hear, but I'm going to say it anyway.

To those who continue to decry the thin margins in this election, you need to de-center whiteness in your analysis.

Brief thread.

People who should not have to buy their own drinks this weekend:
-Stacey Abrams
-Steve Kornacki
-Gritty

[Mary-Pat @MaryPatHector]

For people not from Georgia:

Please stop spreading the narrative that Stacey Abrams turned GA blue by herself🤫

Tamieka Atkins - ProGeorgia
Helen Bulter - GCPA
Nsé Ufot - New GA Project
Deborah Scott- GA Stand-Up

Know their names, learn their work, and give them credit.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

There's a lot of totally correct talk about how @StaceyAbrams was pivotal to winning Georgia. Folks: Stacey & her team were pivotal to flipping Wisconsin too. And every other battleground. They worked with us to build massive, supercharged voter protection teams—starting *early.*

[freeborn Black woman first of her name @TheWayWithAnoa]

Yes give to Georgia but believe in the vision that is flowing through the south, southwest and Midwest. BIPOC led progressive orgs doing year round work and making it happen on thrifty budgets and movement version of coupon clipping.

[Maya Simpson @mayasimps]

Stacey Abrams!

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Sen. Chris Coons tells @MSNBC that Stacey Abrams brought a plan to him 6 years ago to flip Georgia blue: "We've got a very strong ground game in Georgia because of the leadership of Stacey Abrams."
