There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.
I'm hearing folks on TV saying Trump blaming DEI is “inaccurate,” “inappropriate”, and “there's no evidence.” Huh? Is that all you got? What Trump is saying is ugly. It’s racist. He's blaming brown & black people for the crash. He's saying brown & black people aren't qualified. “Inaccurate” doesn't cut it. What Trump is saying is racist & bigoted.
Here's the deal:
In 2020, well before Election Day, MAGAs were crying "rigged election."
Immediately following the election, Republicans brought 60+ "election integrity" court cases, requested (and received) hand recounts—and despite no election fraud discovered, still rioted at the Capitol and have spent four years perpetuating a stolen election lie.
It is just days following the 2024 election, one where:
- Donald Trump spoke several times in recent months about "already having the votes"
- Elon Musk and Peter Theil (two men with more technology available to them than anyone) have been working alongside Trump and the Russian government.
- dozens of bomb threats were sent by Russia on Election Day, causing shutdowns and delays
- 5 swing states showed results of Dems winning down-ballot and yet a Trump victory in all (a near impossible split-ticket scenario).
- The Trump campaign (always proving a complaint is an accusation, claimed a stolen election until the moment Trump was declared the winner.
In an election as pivotal and Democracy-altering as this one, The Democratic Party owes the American people to fight passionately to ensure the results were fair.
It is reasonable request to do a #handrecount of one of the key swing states, to make sure that the results match the Election Day reports, and to ensure the voting machines' code has not been tampered with.
We won't be the other side, shouting "rigged election" despite having no proof, and we won't content that #TrumpCheated—if an investigation refutes that.
But Kamala Harris, Tim Walz and her campaign, tens of thousands of tireless volunteers, a record number of first-time voters, the women of this country, and the tens of millions who voted Blue, deserve the smallest efforts to ensure that the numbers are correct.
We cannot let America be ceded to those who will dismantle it without assuring it was the will of the majority.
A secure election can withstand scrutiny and a blameless party won't prevent that scrutiny.
Who's going to step up?

@Angry_Staffer Every media outlet that failed the truth I’m prepared to do without. This election was bought by nefarious anti-democratic forces.
It was stolen through an unchecked campaign of fear-mongering, voter suppression and repeated lies to the public. Boycott the worst of them, folks.
We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.
What to expect:
- He will declare victory before all the votes are counted, like last time.
- At the same time, he will continue to push bogus narratives about the election being stolen from him.
- Elon and his propagandists will amplify it on this platform. They're pushing outrageous claims every day, many originating from Russia.
- His supporters will swarm voting precincts trying to intimidate election officials, delay the count, anything to overwhelm the process with chaos and cast doubt on the results.
- It will rain frivolous lawsuits as they try desperately to usurp the will of the people.
Your job:
- Remain resolute. Remain focused. Block the noise.
- Don't let them intimidate you or turn you away from casting your ballot. Your voice will and must be heard. Your vote MUST be counted.
Together, we will withstand what they throw at us.
Together, we will finally move beyond this ugly chapter in our history.
We are not going back.
