Ten years ago today I buried my brave, beautiful husband. I’m optimistic he is resting in peace—in part because he was a great person whose warmth & goodness shone thru even the most minor interactions, but mostly because he could sleep through anything. I will love him forever.

Guys I’m on Bluesky. Hope you’ll find me there (same handle).

@AlinejadMasih Terrifying. Stay safe. ❤️

Yes we should switch to saying they are poisoning the blood of our nation

[Kurt Bardella @kurtbardella]

This is why Democrats lose when they should win and until they accept this, they’ll keep losing: you cannot label those who disagree with you as sexist, racist, etc. (even if they are) calling them names won’t ever get them to agree with (and vote) for your side.

Oh great

[Jennifer Bendery @jbendery]

So today this guy in DC was taunting people in Navy Yard by shouting pro-Trump messages out of a barely open window in a building, so I asked why he was doing that and it turns out he's a J6 defendant waiting for Trump to pardon him. https://t.co/kRFaY50yVf

He won because of, not despite, those things.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

A majority of votes. After being found liable for sexual abuse, convicted of felonies, and inciting a coup attempt. In a more decrepit and incoherent state than ever. Against a qualified and historic candidate.

It’ll never make sense.

REPORTER: Do you believe the president has the power to fire or demote you?

JEROME POWELL: Not permitted under the law

[Karen Schwartz @pithywidow]

He is right

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. As my dad would say, we all get knocked down—but the measure of our character is how quickly we get up.

A defeat does not mean we are defeated. The America of your dreams is calling for you to get back up.

Oh look it is Mike Pence of hang Mike Pence fame

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

The American people have spoken and Karen and I send our sincere congratulations to President-Elect Donald Trump and his family on his election as 47th President of the United States. We also send our congratulations to Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance and his family on his election as Vice President of the United States.

We extend our congratulations as well to the newly elected members of the Republican majorities in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives and look forward to their efforts to renew American security, prosperity and a respect for life.

We will continue to pray for all those in authority and urge every American to join us in praying for our incoming President, Vice President and elected officials at every level. God Bless America🇺🇸

With the benefit of hindsight: This cake was baked for a while. For all the media/Dem handwringing over Harris's campaign strategy, she may have lost before she even entered the race.

[Karen Schwartz @pithywidow]

Congratulations Polio!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Marco Rubio on CNN on if the Senate would confirm RFK Jr: "Well, I think the Senate is gonna give great deference to a president that just won a stunning what I think is an electoral college landslide when all is said and done, and a mandate."

[Karen Schwartz @pithywidow]

Yes. Americans bought what Trump was selling. That’s it.

[Jed Shugerman @jedshug]

Anyone blaming Harris or Walz today has utterly lost the plot & missed the point.
This is fundamentally about America, toxic masculinity, & white supremacy.
Blaming Harris would be part of that problem, not the solution.
She deserves our thanks.
Thank you, @vp @KamalaHarris

[Karen Schwartz @pithywidow]

A big win for fascism

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Trump gained ground pretty much everywhere.

If you’re blaming Harris or her campaign/stretegy, fuck off.

If you’re blaming Israel-Gaza policy, fuck off.

If you’re blaming one specific demographic group, fuck off.

This was a collective uniform rejection of the last four years.
