I pray that someday we may realize that most praying is a palliative chosen in lieu of an action that should be taken.

[Vox @voxdotcom]

55% percent of Americans pray daily. That’s a statistical anomaly. https://t.co/hXxokUqIop

What I read this morning:
- this is a wake-up call for Europe
- we must now take a deep breath and get to grips with it
- 3% for NATO is not enough
- we must do it ourselves
- we must not waste any time
- rich Europe must now support Ukraine
- this will be a stressful phase in transatlantic relations

You are welcome to add to this.

Russia again attacked a US election.

To help Trump.

This should be a big deal.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Tens of millions of families and friendships were irrevocably fractured tonight.

That will never show up in the data, but it will be where some of the greatest damage is felt.

Reminder: Victory for Trump is likely to all but end global hopes of staying below 1.5C, our analysis found in March

The fascists in Moscow feel like all their Christmases have come at once. It's up to Europeans to help Ukraine spoil the party.

An important reminder today for Londoners: our city is - and will always be - for everyone.

We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.

These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners.

Estimates by #Ukraine’s MoD @DefenceU on losses by the invading #Russia|n forces as of 6 November 2024.

While it's not possible to verify these figures, independent observers point to very substantial Russian losses in both personnel and equipment.

@Safetypuppy @johnpavlovitz I feel as you. And I don’t believe we were living in a bubble lying to ourselves either. Something feels off

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

I thought this would hurt more than 2016 but it doesn't.

That was a shock. This is just confirmation.

We now know that 2016 wasn't a fluke or an aberration, that this is what the majority wants: whiteness, patriarchy, nationalism, hatred, nihilism.

Whether I want to spend the rest of my life in such a place is something my mind isn't prepared to consider.

Right now, I just know that I'm seeing the nation with my eyes fully open and there is no mistaking what so many people I Ioved and once respected, actually value.

As heartbreaking as that is, I now know where they stand, and I know it's nowhere I want to be.

Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.

He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.

But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

[Francis Scarr @francis_scarr]

This is one of the strangest things I’ve seen on Russian state TV

Correspondent Valentin Bogdanov finds a Trump supporter in Palm Beach at 3:30am local time who proceeds to give a rendition of the Soviet children’s song ‘May there always be sunshine’

[Dr. Ian Garner @irgarner]

Democrats were too centrist, too left, too right, too pro-Israel, too anti-Israel, too good on the economy, too bad on the economy, too nice to Trump voters, too mean to Trump voters, too ambitious, too unambitious.

Maybe people just like what Trump is selling?

[Henry Foy @HenryJFoy]

“I’m afraid,” said one person involved in the EU's crisis talks over the ramifications of Trump 2.0. “On trade, it will be bad. And Ukraine is in big trouble”

As EU leaders congratulate Trump, their officials are privately freaking out

Rape allegations really “ruin a man’s life” and yet you can still become president of the United States of America 🇺🇸.

[Gustav C. Gressel @GresselGustav]

For those gaffing at what will happen to 🇺🇦 now, let me remind you that for 🇷🇺, conquering and subjugating 🇺🇦 is pre-condition to (re-)establish military dominance over all of Europe (see the December 2021 proposal).

This war will come to all of us. Now sooner than later.

@Osborne__Cox @mehdirhasan @Jones77009368 We are already unrecognizable. That is why he won.

[Milenaac @milenaac]

@jessinwis @mehdirhasan We have had it good these last four years. Inform yourself better. Remember how bad it was under Trump and watch that multiply now with horror

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be.

I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad it’s going to be for years.
