"They knowingly voted to once again tear families apart and put babies in cages and commit what will almost certainly be horrific human rights abuses against immigrants. They voted to make life harder for me and my daughters because based on their conveniently misogynistic and bigoted interpretation of the Bible. ...
I am done being nice to people just because we are related."

Cancelling Thanksgiving this year
This year, I have decided to cancel Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I see little to be thankful for this year after seeing that the majority of Americans willfully chose fascism—including a lot of my family members. Every year, I have been the cook.Daily Kos
"America was given the opportunity to let a Black and Asian American woman move us beyond a decade of Trump’s racist, sexist, and toxic form of grievance politics with a broad agenda grounded in joy, compassion, and opportunity. And America, specifically the majority of white Americans, said: 'No thanks. We’re good.'”

Opinion | For Black women, the sting of Trump's presidential win
My job may be to sort out what the election means for the Supreme Court, reproductive health care, and the guardrails of our democracy. And I’ll get to that.The Boston Globe
"With the election of Donald Trump, our fellow citizens are about to get exactly what they want. There is nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about it, because we did it to ourselves. …
The American people, which is all of us, got together on Tuesday and chose everything that’s coming for close to the next decade."

With the Election of Donald Trump, Our Fellow Citizens Are About to Get Exactly What They Want
There is nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about the fact that we elected Trump, because we did it to ourselves.Charles P. Pierce (Esquire)
"Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and getting an updated gender marker will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption - If you have a trans kid that is stealth, consider maintaining stealth to get around enforcement of anti-trans laws."
It's going to get very bad for some of us, quickly. Because others have chosen this for us.
Erin Reed reminds us of the practice, life-or-death challenges now facing some of us due to the choice made by the rest of us. She's offering advice to trans people and people who care about them:
"I wanted to share some very practical next steps for my trans readers. Here are the things I recommend:"

Checking in... Let's talk. Hey y'all. We are one day out, and you've already made it 24 hours. That's good. I am so blessed to have been able to spend what was otherwise a horrific night with the company of all of you.Erin In The Morning
"Trump’s predictable return to the presidency—in what is the final American presidential election of our lifetimes (a conservative plan decades in the making, with help from liberal complicity masquerading as incompetence)—was nothing more and nothing less than the majority of white voters confirming that they want to live in a country that adheres to the standards of living as expressed in 1824 rather than 2024."
"The majority of white people knew that a vote for Trump would be a vote against Black people, Brown people, Asian people, queer people, trans people, disabled people, poor people, Black and Brown immigrants, Palestinians, children, the rights of women, unions, literature, art, the environment, and democracy."
"The media will be complicit in protecting the majority of white American voters from being labeled as the staunch and bred bigots that they are."

"Because They Think They Are White"
“But this cowardice, this necessity of justifying a totally false identity and of justifying what must be called a genocidal history, has placed everyone now living into the hands of the most ignorant and powerful people the world has ever seen.Robert Jones, Jr. (Witness)
"America’s long term, festering reactionary racism and white supremacy has threatened democracy throughout US history."

The global anti-incumbent backlash doomed Kamala Harris
Tragically, the beneficiary happened to be Donald Trump.Noah Berlatsky (Public Notice)
"I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America’s better angels.
I want honesty. I want an admission of exactly who we are as a country, and let’s be damn clear about that definition:"

I'm Russian living in Russia. I was 5 when Putin was 'elected'. I'm 30 now. I know that feeling of hopelessness very well. You should never surrender. Autocrats of the world are counting on you being down and depoliticized because all of this. Don't give them an easy win. Always fight, no matter how bad situation seems.

Whatever the post analysis of why a majority of Americans voted for #Trump, for example, was misinformation on social media owned by billionaires a factor? the fact is clear that for whatever personal reasons, & considering that Trump has clearly expressed his plan to "drill, drill, drill" for fossil fuels, a majority of Americans are not voting to mitigate #ClimateChange (quite the opposite)
Implicitly (ignorantly) or not, Americans have voted to make climate change worse. Addicted to #BigOil

>> ""The people who lost the election are the Democratic leaders who have steadfastly refused to invest in advocacy media," Sheffield charged. "The average American is surrounded by partisan brainwashing media. There are now 7 right wing infotainment channels and 1 MSNBC. This is why Harris lost.""

We have the momentum on our side
