“White folks gotta live with the fact that you’re asking for a benefit of the doubt that is not supported by the historical record.” — bomani

From my entire life experience as a high risk, immunocompromised person who depends on science to survive, let me put this in simple terms: if someone near me doesn’t wear a mask and unknowingly has the coronavirus, even if I’M wearing a mask, they could kill me. #WearAMask

Not many of us get to live to see our own legacy play out in such a meaningful, remarkable way. John Lewis did: medium.com/@BarackObama/m…

Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg changed her nation for the better. Fairness and justice, especially for those with the least access to power, were her north stars. She was a pioneer for women in the law, and a cultural icon on top of it all. May she rest in peace.

This might feel good. Just a suggestion. secure.actblue.com/donate/getmitch

It is going to be very hard after the procedural violence that Mitch McConnell has inflicted on the Senate and the country for anyone to justify us playing it soft next year just to satisfy pundits. We must use the power that voters give us to deliver the change we are promising.

If Republicans go forward and reverse the precedent they set in 2016, the Senate will never, ever be the same. It will be changed forever. I pray tonight that at least a few of my Republican colleagues understand this.

To summarize the NYT story: Trump got a bunch of $ from his daddy. He lost it all, but then he got paid hundreds of millions to play a billionaire on TV. He tried to use that $ to become a real billionaire, but he lost it all again. Now he's starting over, but we're his daddy.

Keep calm. Be patient. Allow local elections officials to do their jobs. What is most important isn’t the speed of the count; it’s that every eligible vote is counted. Americans made their voices heard in record numbers, and their votes must be counted. #Election2020

Truly insane we’re obsessing over 1,900 votes in Georgia when Biden is leading by 4 million votes nationwide

Brutal. The Arclight Hollywood is the only place that makes LA seem like a small town. You’d go to a movie and run into someone you dated three years ago, an awful boss you never wanted to see again, and Melanie Griffith.

8 states have now vaccinated more than 60% of adults with a first shot. New Hampshire (>70%!) CT Mass NM Maine NJ VT Hawaii All of them have turned the corner on the number of cases & hospitalizations. Well done. Let’s all get there.

California! You’ve got a big choice to make by September 14, and everything is on the line. Your vote could be the difference between protecting our kids or putting them at risk; helping Californians recover or taking us backwards. Vote “no” on the Republican recall.

Get psyched.

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

Here we go...
