An acorn today is a tree tomorrow.

@CanisPundit I just *love* the way MSM is depicting this as "Democracy worked".🙄 When someone dies by suicide, do we celebrate his success?

I thought Harris would win

I was prepared for another popular victory but electoral defeat

But this

I'm a person of privilege so at one level nothing changes--the question remains how do I use my privilege for those who are most at risk?

It starts with hugging my trans kid

My tribe assembles next weekend

Hugs to all y'all

In early October I was in Nashville to celebrate the life of John Prine. My wife and I went to the Johnny Cash museum and then had lunch in the bar connected to it. While watching some baseball at the bar an ad for Kamala Harris came on the TV. A white woman sitting next to us made a face of such utter distain at the mere look at VP Harris' face. That look scared me and it's one I'll never forget. That was my first doubt that women would coalesce for their daughters. It keeps playing in my mind.

He showed us exactly who he was and they voted for him anyway. I'm now scared of my neighbors

Help. I’m in an abusive relationship with my own country.

I'm devastated.

But - I am not a panic person. I'm right now writing up how best - considering the shit future headed our way - to position my family.

The USA had a good run. I just can't believe that so many Americans can't see what they've just done.

Stockpile/archive as much information as you can - I've got the feeing we'll be seeing a lot of information restrictions - including internet access.

#Elections
None of the election results surprise me
What I saw, from various polls sites I worked at was this:

The amount of pro-trump tv/radio ads & billboards - promoting: vote for our dear leader - in ethnic neighborhoods throughout #NYC was overwhelming. On immigrant channels I rarely saw an ad for Kamala in their native language to equal # of trump ads.

Many 1st time voters were all immigrants, who voted for Trump & GOP because of disinfo.

I realize that climate change will continue, my healthcare is gone, my SS will be cut. I'm taking some steps today to try to preserve some of the funds we live on. This is the rest of my life now. I could not be more depressed. This is not what I imagined on any level.

@Sr0bi @Bix

I'm very aware of what tomorrow holds. But, for today, for these current hours, I hope my friends will take care of themselves. It is never a bad thing to take a breath and live in a moment where something beautiful helps a heart that's hurting.
