This local vigil held a few weeks into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seems as though it happened many years ago… or never even happened at all. The agony of the Ukrainian people continues while we’re distracted with other concerns and it could take a tragic turn if our incoming administration cedes the struggle to Putin. #Politics #SlavaUkrainii

Matt Gaetz leaves sinking ship after concerns over incendiary report. #Politics

“No, that can’t be right! He loves me! I took time off work and drove hundreds of miles and waited hours to attend his rallies! I spent every Social Security check buying his merchandise! I never left the house without my “Make America Great” hat and shirt! I voted for him every time! He said he’d make me rich and that he’d deport or destroy all the people I hate! He loves me, I just know it! #Politics

Please spare a kind thought for all the Biden administration appointees who will have to watch in horror as their replacements gleefully destroy their legacy in service of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. #Politics

Our presidential election outcome can be explained by the fact that millions of voters placed a higher value on harming “others” than benefiting themselves and their loved ones. #Politics

My heart goes out to all the folks in government who really did their jobs with honor and integrity. Having to hand their position over to incompetent sycophants dedicated to wrecking everything must be unbearable. #Politics

Just because I spent two years volunteering for my county Democratic Party doesn’t mean that I can explain every crazy political decision or election outcome. I’m getting tired of being asked “WTF?” whenever another absurd news story breaks. #Politics

Our #election outcome might be explained by the fact that millions of Americans would prefer a president who tramples on their enemies than a president who strives to uplift everyone. #Politics

In autumn, our thoughts turn to the bountiful harvests and longer tables. Now, Trump has convinced his followers that everything is a zero-sum “deal.” If a woman, immigrant, person of color, or LGBTQ individual gets anything beneficial, it was clearly stolen from them. The abundance mentality has been kicked to the curb and Americans now fight bitterly over an imagined shrinking pie. Only by deporting, marginalizing, and terrorizing “others” can the “chosen” retain their share.

One of my husband’s friends spent his career working for the US Department of Commerce as a trade representative to Asia. My husband asked him about the Trump implementing his massive tariffs. Not happening, said his friend. To do that, our government would have to break existing trade agreements, something they can’t do unilaterally. The World Trade Organization https://www.wto.org/ would need to agree to that, unlikely if it disrupts international trade and financial stability. #Politics

Blaming Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Democrats for screwing up an election that they coulda-shoulda-woulda won is the utmost in denial. Like it or not (and I absolutely hate it) we have enough selfish, misogynistic, racist folks among us from every state, ethnicity, and age group to hand America to a convicted felon fascist. Ignorance played a huge part in this. If you want to blame the media for their part, go ahead, but our neighbors, coworkers, and our family members did this. #Politics

Millions of Americans love, love, love Mango Mussolini but sadly for them, it’s not mutual. Not even close. #Politics

Today’s creative visualization helps me navigate the churning electoral waters, and I hope that it helps you also. For too long, one man has terrorized us, leaving us exhausted, treading water in a roiling sea of cortisol. Tomorrow night - or whenever the results are clear - it will become HIS turn to thrash for his life in these waters for eternity. Every day of dread and every sleepless night that he gave us will now come back to HIM. Oh, and there will be sharks. #Politics #MentalHealth

As a Cassandra, I’ve seen my share of treachery and deceit, but the 2024 presidential election polling in America is next level. Those responsible have their reasons: getting more media attention or appeasing a fascist maniac. The net result is millions of Americans (and foreigners) feeling unrelenting, soul-crushing dread. History will show that this election polling was a massive psy op engineered by one or more of our enemies, foreign or domestic, designed to divide and weaken us. #Politics

“…but I’m voting for him anyway” - current state of American #Politics

Take a long look at this list of what government provides. Most of these things will be on Elon Musk’s chopping block if Trump is re-elected. #Politics

MSNBC’s Morning Joe and Mika are horrified that Donald Trump, the candidate that they fawned over - giving him endless air time, lobbing softball questions, even fixing his damn hair - is burning America to the ground. The smell of accelerant will never leave you, Joe and Mika. Never. If you hadn’t normalized this monster, we wouldn’t be on edge today, wondering whether his possible return to office means the end of our Democracy. Wring your hands all you want. You were complicit. #Politics

“Hey, get back here! I am your protector!”
