We all face moments when things feel overwhelming, and that’s okay. Remember, you are not alone.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

When I took office, we faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Today, we have the greatest economy in the world.

Deseret News Editorial Board: “We do not believe Trump holds the ideals and values of this community or this paper. We are grateful for the courageous decision by many of Utah’s leading Republican politicians to renounce the top of their ticket.” https://t.co/vY4X9CsoK1

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

104 years ago on November 2-3, during Election Day in 1920, the single bloodiest day in modern America political history happened, The Ocoee Massacre.

A black man attempted to vote & the Ku Klux Klan responded with rampage that led to the exile/death of every black person that lived there

—The dark day in Florida's history escalated after one Black citizen tried to exercise his right to vote at a polling location but was turned away on Election Day.

Mose Norman, who had been part of the voter registration drive in Orange County, decided to vote in the national election on November 2. When he attempted to do so, twice, he was turned away from the polls.
When Norman was driven away the second time, a white mob, then numbering over 100 men, decided to hunt him down. Concluding he had taken refuge in the home of another local Black resident, Julius “July” Perry, they rushed Perry’s home hoping to capture both men there. Norman escaped and was never found while Perry defended his home, killing two white men, Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard, who tried to enter through the back door. The mob called for reinforcements from Orlando and surrounding Orange County. Eventually they caught and killed Perry and hung his dead body from a telephone post by the highway from Ocoee to Orlando to intimidate other potential Black voters. Perry’s wife, Estelle Perry, and their daughter were wounded during the attack on the Perry home. They were sent to Tampa by local law enforcement officers.
The mob then turned on the Black community of Ocoee.
Homes and properties of Black families were scorched, burnt to the ground. At least four Black individuals were confirmed killed -- one of which was lynched, his body hanging from a tree limb for all to see.

On June 21, 2019, a historical marker honoring July Perry and others killed in the massacre was placed in Heritage Square outside the Orange County Regional History Center.

Looking forward to the Idaho GOP ensuring that every girls and women’s sports team in Idaho has the same resources as the boys and men’s teams and looking forward to seeing you at the women’s games, now that you’re all big supporters of women’s sports and all

[Brad Little @GovernorLittle]

In Idaho, we know the simple truth – biological men do not belong in women’s sports. We stand committed to defending our female athletes on & off the court.

Every Idaho journalist should ask every R elected official or candidate who has endorsed Trump why this is not disqualifying and whether they still endorse Trump following this statement

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump on Liz Cheney: “Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

The Economist is endorsing Kamala Harris. By making Donald Trump leader of the free world, Americans would gamble with the economy, the rule of law and international peace. Voters who minimise the risks are deluding themselves https://t.co/gRfh5Kg4fe 👇

My close friend, David Shreve, who I often refer to as the smartest person I have ever known, explains why voting for Republicans because of “the economy” is completely insane.

Let your voice be heard 🗣️

VOTE! 🗳️

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

In this election,the silence of editorial boards and business leaders is complicity. This is a moment to stand up for truth, democracy, and the rule of law.

[Matt @nosoupforgeorge]

The NFL can't say "End Racism" in the endzones and also allow Nick Bosa to wear a MAGA hat while in uniform, representing the @49ers and the @NFL.

Can't have it both ways.

[TrumpsTaxes (@trumpstaxes.com on bsky) @TrumpsTaxes]

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama.

It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them.

Profiles in lack of courage. Two of many chapters.

.@KELLYROWLAND: We are grabbing back the pen from those who are trying to write an American story that would deny the right for women to make our own decisions about our bodies. Today that means grabbing that pen and casting my vote for Kamala Harris
