all i can say is live. you have to live. if you’re trans, queer, a woman, bipoc, disabled, an immigrant: you must live. we have to support each other. we have to be visible and loud if and when we can. and above all else we have to live

But let’s be clear, people voted for white supremacy. They supported the lies, bigotry, racism and fear.

Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters

your 20s are all about trump being president and that sucks. your 30s are all about trump being president and that sucks

somehow ive found myself in a position where folks come to chuck in times of strife for encouragement. lets get the big part of this conversation out of the way LOVE IS STILL REAL and that is the thing to remember. that north star remains. today there is more to talk about though

but for now, feel those feelings, mourn, prove love, stay safe. do not let the hope i am espousing feel like a distraction from the very real, even deadly consequences of the terrible pit we are plummeting into. it is a horrible day, and FUTURE HOPE does not diminish that, BUT

get ready because that counter culture wave is coming and YOU are a part of it. if you want to shout HECK OFF DEVILS then shout it LOUD, if you want to cry then cry HARD, if you want to love then love with your WHOLE HEART. thats the start of the movement that we dont know yet

The fact that they googled 'Scottish citizenship ' is already a bad sign

Again, you may want to look up the history of societies post 1918 flu pandemic.

What is called when an ethnic group is forcibly expelled from their homes and land and not allowed to return?

I've met a lot of people who were, much to my surprise, leaning toward Trump over the past couple months. They didn't seem like Trump supporters. Their argument was, "Things aren't good. Maybe Trump will be better for the economy. We need change." That was it. It wasn't complex

A murder happened in the replies

From the desk of Rashida Jones today:

none of the fics i follow have been updated since the election. the girls are DISTRAUGHT

I keep reading that she wasn't a good candidate. And I guess I'm confused. Because *that* sentiment seems to imply that 53% of white women thought the OTHER candidate was the good one. The OTHER candidate ofc being that racist, rapist, illiterate, treasonous, dancing candied yam.

“i voted for the felon because i thought we all agreed we liked morally grey men” i need a g*n

I think there may be some real drawbacks to turning “the media” into “whoever among you can get the most attention at any given time.”

The Pod Save America crew was sitting on the knowledge that Biden’s team had internal polling that showed Trump at 400+ electoral votes and still he decided to run anyway. They sat on that until the post election blame game started and point it out trying to deflect blame.

Dead-on

God - these guys are always such cowards
