Stole this from a friend but I think it really captures my feelings towards people I know still pushing for Trump:

Just for clarity, as some people still don’t get why people unfriend them over what they see as politics.

It is completely possible to reconcile political differences over tax policy or how many dog catchers to have. If you can’t be civil over policy issues, then the problem is internal, not external.

That said, most of the current GOP positions are really judgements on things that have a moral, not political landscape and most of them (gay rights, BLM, immigration, etc) all involve judging the validity of someone else

(is your marriage valid? Are you equally protected? Are you ‘legal’?).

These are moral judgements that aren’t the same class as policy differences. People aren’t really listening to the calls for civility coming from the same mouths that deny their validity as people.

Many Trump supporters like him because he deregulates or lowers taxes or some other reasonable policy choice, not his polemics on social issues. I get that.

As a woman of color & immigrant in higher education & career services - I have some pressing thoughts. Here goes:

A daughter of immigrants as Vice President. The first woman Vice President. The first Black woman Vice President. The first South Asian woman Vice President. 1/X

Of course, we must acknowledge that no candidate is perfect – President-Elect Biden is not perfect. Vice President-Elect Harris is not perfect. There is much work to be done to continue to move forward towards a more progressive and truly inclusive America. 2/X

We cannot back to a version of “normal” that actively excludes certain individuals based on their race, country of origin, immigration status, size, ability, experience with addiction, religion, sexual orientation, gender expression, and more. 3/X

However, it is critical that we, as members of the workforce, take note of a specific aspect of this election that cannot be ignored: the power of sponsorship. 4/X

I long for the day when women of color need not wait for a door of opportunity to open. However, our reality is that sponsorship is currently a critical element of workplace success – and I say this as a woman of color myself. 5/X

The plot to kidnap (and potentially kill) the governor of Michigan isn’t just the feds rolling up a dumbass to pad their statistics. It’s one to note.

This is huge!

Dear Patriots,
Some of you may recognize my name. I have daily briefings with POTUS & have posted here before a handful of times as a "helper".
What I'm about to disclose is the most important post you'll read before the inauguration.

In the past few days some paid hacks operating under different spurious banners and using a few sloppy media platforms have been used to drum up a virulent campaign to smear and call for the head of Ahmad Salkida, Editor-in-Chief of @HumAngle_ Media.

On October 3, 2020, a platform, GCFR NG, seemingly a parody effort out to benefit from the time-honoured national honour rank, ran a misfit of a story, “Beware of Boko Haram agent, Ahmad Salkida-CAFA warns Nigerians.” The said report was derived from a random statement ...

by a group that goes by the name, Citizens Against Fake Activists, (CAFA). One Comrade Richard Adie reportedly signed the statement. The group’s name is, however, not registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria. It does not have any physical address ...

or functional website & has no tangible physical or digital footprints. The names associated with it are shadowy, bearing imaginary ghost emblems. The whole drama is so ghostly that it paid for a hotel hall for a press conference without leaving an address or phone number.

The same day, Blueprint, a local newspaper, ran an opinion, “Ahmed Salkida and his broken video on Nigerian military,” whose author is a subject of a self-embarrassing pointer to the hatchet job. At the end of the piece, the byline states that “Obi is a security expert ...

@realDonaldTrump
Whenever the name Clinton is dropped, rest assured there's something big behind the veil. "Let's dig" into the mystery of Eric Hothem / Eric Hoteham & JP Morgan. 🤓

I am very concerned about what I have learned about @VP Mike Pence's debate preparations.

It's an incomplete view, no doubt, but also a worrying one, given the stakes.

There are a few hours left, so read this thread and RT if you want someone on VP's team to see this.

The basis of this entire crisis is that Republicans are still so upset they got caught in massive amounts of criminal misconduct between 2016-2020 they will do and say anything to smear everyone else with the same accusations that led to their own tarnished reputations.

Michael Cohen, former RNC Fundraising Chair: convicted felon.

Elliot Broidy, former RNC Fundraising Chair: convicted felon.

Roger Stone, former RNC and Trump Advisor: convicted felon.

Paul Manafort, former Republican campaign manager: convicted felon.

Buckle up. This is going to be a long one. Counting votes, knowing presidential outcomes, and general electoral fraud, a thread. 🧵

I had to post this in my class today, and since I wrote it and did the article links already, here you go.

TL;DR: it's not new, it's not illegal, it's perfectly normal, it's not fraud to count them, mail-in voting isn't prone to fraud.

First: The idea that not knowing who the winner is on election night is somehow new or different is patently, absolutely false. Obviously, prior to the advent of modern communication, people didn't know who the president was on election night.

They generally didn't know until after the electoral college met in December. They MIGHT know how their state electoral college votes were being cast, but the idea that they knew what the other states were doing is entirely wrong.

Even with the advent of modern communications, the only way presidential election results have been known on election night is if there is a clear and obvious win in the electoral college - votes still left to count (and we'll get to that) are fewer than the margin of victory

[thread] When our opponents talk about socialism, they either talk about it as though it is some sort of utopian, fantasy idea that can never happen or a dangerous alternative to what we have right now. I just don’t connect with that view at all. (1/8) #GV6 #GrassrootsVoice

My view of socialism is as a political expression of love for one another - a system based on our natural drive to love one another. The truth is, for so many millions of people in the UK & elsewhere in the world this capitalist system is hard, scary & uncertain.(2/8)

Socialism is a set of principles, a different way to organise the world. It is based on a common love for our fellow human beings - not about seeing other people as competition, but as others we can work with, who can enrich our experience in life. (3/8)

Socialism is about not accepting suffering, pain, exploitation, embarrassment, malnourishment, monotony, dissatisfaction, loneliness, injustice, fear & premature death as an inevitability...(4/8)

...purely to allow a tiny minority of people to suck more and more power & wealth away from us & the work we do. It doesn’t need to be like this, there is another way. (5/8)

Let's go back in history. Let's visit the 1990's. Bill Clinton was President. Janet Reno AG.

When was [BIG TECH] born? What year?

Who does this remind you of?

Has anyone at the [top] been prosecuted for anything...

ever???

When did the whole black-mailing congress begin?

Trump came to my beloved Omaha. Omaha is a purple city. Trump bussed in a ton of peeps who waited in unseasonably cold weather for him to arrive. After he was done speaking, he left the peeps in the cold FOR HOURS without busses.

Hypothermic people without masks everywhere.

OPD stuck with the mess. We are knee deep in COVID here. Many people had to be taken to the hospital for treatment because of hypothermia.

How do we calculate the toll for this idiocy? This event may turn out to be a huge miscalculation on his part one week from the election.

Trump buses people in and then abandons them at an airport in freezing weather before flying off to another super spreader event.

The event at TAC air is on the opposite side of where the parking is. It took hours to clean up Trump’s mess during a pandemic on a freezing night.

Last night in Omaha is a perfect example of who Trump is and the way that he governs. He just keeps finding new lows. How many of those people that ended up going to the hospital last night either became infected or caused infections on their way to and from the hospital?

I hope the good people of Omaha see who @RepDonBacon and Trump are and rebuke them up when they vote. If what happened last night in Omaha is a tipping point, @KaraEastman and @JoeBiden should have a good night on 11/3/20.

President-elect Biden’s Thanksgiving address was an important moment in the rhetorical and moral life of the nation. The remarks themselves were well-constructed, graceful and serious of purpose – an act of responsible governance even before taking the oath. 1/

The president-elect’s speech also contrasted starkly with a president on a descending path of cynicism, destructiveness, desperation and self-delusion. We always knew it could come to this: A direct attack on the functioning and legitimacy of American democracy. 2/

The coup has already occurred in Trump’s mind. Can there be any doubt he would keep power by overturning a legitimate election? Can there be any question he would snuff out the democratic voice of the nation if he could? He is incompetent. But can we doubt his intention? 3/

It is the interpretive key to Trump: He is anti-American. He has no respect for the country’s institutions or values. He is ignorant of the nation’s story, dismissive of its conventions and unmoved by its romance. 4/

Trump sees politics the way a Machiavellian would in any country – as the pursuit of power, not the stewardship of certain truths. 5/

Mini Mike Bloomberg, who made a fool of himself on the Dems debate stage when Elizabeth Warren & the others simply took him apart, is going “crazy” trying to buy his way back into the Liberal Democrat’s hearts. His Florida ads are lies. I am much better for SENIORS than Sleepy!
