I feel great about this. Feels like true valor, true heroism, true excellence exist and get recognized.

Congrats to GA and to Sen. Warnock. That said, having a nail biter in this is still an embarrassment. Walker coming as close as he did, is a stain on democracy.

Watching results come in on #MSNBC and the overall count is close. I find that offensive AF.

Dear Georgia,
Last time, we asked you to save the Senate. Today, it is more about the principle of the thing. Sorry we are still coming to you with our shit, though.
Love,
'Murica

Cornyn, Cruz, who gives a fuck, they are interchangeable anyways 😜🤣

#Politics #MassShooting
Just now #MSNBC said that the mass shooting in VA last night was mass shooting number 607 THIS YEAR. Definition used: four people or more killed, not counting the shooter. And we want to do misty-eyed Thanksgiving posts? Yeah, no.

#Politics but very shallow: what I appreciate about Jack Smith is how he looks. The tortured face and the graying beard appeal to me.

For absolute fuck's sake, my Mom and my only sister are in Hungary. You know, next door to where Putin's rocket killed people. I am traveling there to see them for Christmas.

#NATO has this thing where attacking one member means all members have to engage. World war, anyone?

Russian missiles have crossed into Poland. Here we fucking go, unfortunately

Maricopa County dropped its last big batch of votes and Katie Hobbs is now projected to win AZ governor as per #MSNBC projection

This brain waves I got from the coffee kinda stopped when @junation and I went to buy groceries and this was the front license plate on a car outside Aldi. Nothing like a bit of incitement to violence while you are out shopping for dips and bagel chips, am I right? The #2022Elections didn't turn out as badly as they could have, but there is a lot of work left.

While I was at the movies, the AP called the Nevada Senate race for Cortez Masto, which means Dems have the Senate, which means that as a weepy old bag, I may do some more crying now.

#Politics #2022Elections
AP tells me Lauren Fucking Boebert is reelected. That is distressing. And disgusting.

Continuing reflection on the growing political divide in the US: Rep party has the support of men, Dem party, the support of women, to ever growing extents. So this goes out to exclusively heterosexual American men: change your ways, and read up on Lysistrata. Not a reader? Short version is you're not getting laid.

Continuing on my Maura Healey fangirl post: I wonder if one of the consequences of the election is an even bigger difference between liberal America and conservative America. Massachusetts and Michigan have all-woman state leaderships as per the election. Florida and Texas reelected their fascist governors. The divide is growing. Again.

#Politics #2022Elections
Catching a bit of the #MSNBC interview with Maura Healey, the governor -elect for Massachusetts. She sounds super relatable, extra nice, downright sweet. Mirrors relatability by my fave, Elizabeth Warren. WTG, MA women! Also, #RepresentationMatters and I love seeing a lesbian governor.

Senate is 48 D and 49 R. The stress is not good for my mental health.

#Politics #2022Elections
American democracy, the bastion of freedom, the inspiration for many nations' struggles, today amounts to "could've been worse".

A friend texted me this morning and said this:
"Did you put your 'I voted' sticker under your pillow so the Election Fairy would leave you a Xanax?"
A very relevant question, I am sure you will agree
