Black Women Notch Historic Senate Wins in an Election Year Defined by Potential Firsts
“It's remarkable to think that in two years, America will celebrate its 250th birthday,” Alsobrooks said during a victory speech Tuesday evening. “And in all those years, there have been more than 2,000 people who have served in the United States Senate. Only three have looked like me.”
@nursefrombirth Even though all the votes haven't been counted yet ...
I am feeling sorry for the women of color in the House and Senate. They'll be sworn in on 01/03/2025, and then on 01/21/2025 they'll be arrested and removed from the Capitol. Soon thereafter, Vance will invoke the 25th on trump and take over.
@GeezerWench
While I will give it until April, that's been Vance's plan all along. They know that man is demented.
@nursefrombirth You think they'll wait until April? That long?
Wait to put JD in charge or wait to arrest people of color and remove them?
I know that seems really ominous and maybe over-the-top, but that's what I see in my mind's eye. POC and women.
