Tuesday night I texted my friends: "Is this what hope feels like or am I dying?"

I wasn't entirely joking. New essay on election night, history-making firsts, and keeping our foot on the gas. 💙

@pophatosy Really feels weirder that you’re taking this all on yourself. You can’t control other people even if you crown yourself the Queen of whatever the fuck this all is.

Woke up on this Monday morning feeling more hopeful than I have in years.

A little shower disco was absolutely called for.

Pete, habibi. Your time is almost up. Who will be next?

The MAGAts melting down saying how bad things are going to get with Democrats taking the House and the Senate….worse than people being murdered on camera? Than people being put in concentration camps? Than people dying because they can’t afford medicine & food?

🚨#BREAKING: It’s being reported that the energy throughout the White House tonight is absolute dread and hopelessness. Trump is reportedly just staring at Fox News in near silence, only occasionally uttering “unbelievable”.

@Cudlitz Feeling hopeful that the big blue wave will cause a certain someone to stroke out and I’ll have to break out my purse confetti.
