@Hobyrim I don’t even know where to begin. My plan is to just try to help people who are going to suffer the most from this horror, and turn my back on the people who did this, either by voting for him or because of some “purist” bullshit. Let them all have what they asked for. And please, don’t bite your tongue. It needs to be said and we need to hear it.

Hey all.

Bullies give us an opportunity to stand up and fight for those that need us. It gives us a chance to be a friend to someone who feels alone.

When we feel hopeless, it is good to be helpful.

Be the helper. Be the friend. you are not alone

They chose profit over people and planet... but they won't profit from their choice. We couldn't put on our getalong tee. It wasn't us who were unwilling.

Big hugs to everyone. Lots of processing going on today for many of us.

Holding lots of grace and space for folks to process in their own ways, today and in the coming days.

Well... we're fucked for good now. And the people who voted red, third party or didn't vote and caused this to happen clearly have no idea what hell on earth means. All because they couldn't stand the idea of a woman of color in charge. Putin has won, his golden heifer is ready to give him all the classified documents he wants, the US belongs to Russia, now. And no woman is safe. There will be a national abortion can. No more dept of education. No more vaccines. I'm going to throw up.

The one positive and, I suppose, long-overdue thing I *have* done is to delete my Bird account. I had retained it, because there were still some accounts there I liked to read, and because I hoped that the reign of evil there would eventually be over; and I prized my extremely long and carefully tended block list.

It all seems quite useless now, and I'd rather throw acid on myself than sit in on the celebrations of an assembly of thugs and fascists before they try to kill each other.

Don't ask what Democrats are doing wrong.

The answer is nothing.

What is wrong is an apparent appetite in this nation for incompetence, drama, perfidy, scandal, ouitright crime, hijinks, and general fuckery.

It's like a pantomime of stupidity.

Do not capitulate, do not obey.
End to end encryption, solidarity, mutual aid. All of it.

We protect us.

Survive.
