Farewell friends. This cesspit has become too much and will only now get infinitely worse. Stay strong. Hold tight to your loved ones. Hold your head up high. And prepare for the long battle against fascism ahead. Over and out. ✊ #USAElection2024 #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

I always try to repost these as a reminder of where fascism inevitably leads. Lest it be repeated. Lest it be repeated. #ElectionDay #USElections2024

Donald Trump crowed very loudly about being able to win New Jersey. Kamala Harris just won New Jersey.

Wow. Working class Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn (who is leading against MAGA Deb Fischer) pulled his car over to help someone change their truck tire. How’s that for a closing message? xitter.cf/emschmeits/status/1853…

The Taliban has banned women from speaking to each other. Did anyone hear the UN condemn it? Did anyone hear from women's organizations? Did anyone hear from world leaders? Does anyone care, or do they only care when Israel is involved?

I noticed a familiar face in the crowd behind Senator JD Vance at his rally last night in Derry, N.H.: The woman with short hair and a red hooded shirt is Kirstyn A. Niemela of Hudson, N.H., who was convicted for joining the crowd that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.🧵

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

In Montana, @jontester has run a hell of an uphill race and has closed the gap on his mendacious MAGA opponent. He’s also has character, and the Senate needs more folks like him. Winning this seat is a big one in a red state.

Taylor Swift wrote a song about my son, Ronan, after he died of cancer. She put me on as a co-writer, and donated the proceeds directly to pediatric cancer -no strings, no hidden motives, just pure compassion and integrity. In stark contrast, the Trump family engaged in significant fundraising efforts for children with cancer through the Eric Trump Foundation. However, reports later revealed that funds were used to pay Trump-owned properties for hosting fundraising events, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and self-dealing. What could have been a mission solely dedicated to supporting children in need became tainted by financial practices that appeared to benefit the Trump Organization, casting a shadow over the charitable intentions initially claimed. This election is a no-brainer. It’s a choice between compassion and corruption, between someone like Kamala Harris, who has spent her career fighting for justice, and Trump, who has exploited the vulnerable at every turn. Kamala has consistently shown a commitment to supporting communities and ensuring people’s rights are protected, while Trump and his family have even stooped to taking funds meant for children with cancer. If integrity, empathy, and basic decency matter, then this choice couldn’t be clearer. Supporting Kamala and her values means standing up for the kind of future where compassion isn’t just talk—it’s action. We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to reject self-interest and stand on the right side of history.

A time may come when our courage fails, when we forsake our friends, our values, and break all bonds of fellowship,  Not this time. A time may come when their hate and lust for power overwhelms our withering light, when our shining city comes crashing down, Not this time.  This time we fight, For all who we love and what we hold dear, For those who fought for us, For those yet to come, This is your time. Let them hear you fucking roar with your vote.
