Afternoon Twters.

After THREE WEEKS I am finally beginning to feel better! I've got a new #tea mug that's just arrived and it's beautiful. Enjoying a brew and some upbeat music in an attempt to shield myself from the shitshow that is #usPol

Have a smashing Wednesday, folks. 😘

OK one more thing...

Further proof it is the racism here in Wisconsin.

Looks like Tammy Baldwin is going to retain her Senate seat by some 25,000 votes. Trump carried the state.

Which says to me that 25K people here in WI are perfectly fine voting for a white, openly bisexual woman, but not a Black woman. You cannot tell me there is any difference in competence or policy positions between Harris and Baldwin. It sure looks like racism to me.

This whole election looks to me like "Urban Renewal" in the 1960s.

After working in factories for 2 decades starting in WWII Black people starting buying houses. White people left in droves. After the while folks left, they made sure to "get rid of the eyesores" (Black people's neighborhoods) that remained in the cities. They would talk about "economic development" and "revitalization" but underneath it was just pure, ugly racism.

That's what drove this election. Not money, not campaign ad spending, not the economy. Just pure racism (by which I include all other "divisions," immigrants, Muslims, LGTBQ+, sexism, etc.)

#uspol #election

To all of my friends who are worried and upset that Trump and the Republicans might end up being in control, all I can say is that we've been here before.

We've seen this shitty movie, and though the sequel might be even worse we just have to stick together, fight for our shared values, stand up to fascism and survive to resist another day.

We can't and shouldn't compromise on basic values and human rights, especially not in the name of the fucking price of gasoline.

The US SENATE will have two new Black female senators:
Democrats Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland and
Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware!
#uspol #election2024

Obviously it was impossible for #Harris to distance herself from the #genocide in #Gaza, to commit to a substantial change of policy, and to win back more of her own voter base required for a victory.

It's the second time that trying to be the lesser evil is not a sufficient replacement for actually being different, visibly and credibly.

The world will pay the price for Harris's failure, in the years to come.

#USPol

Really need to stop doomscrolling and do something positive.

But if any group of communities are going to do that, we can. Those who inhabit these instances, the ones who are in horror about today’s developments.

Be part of the solution, not the problem. ✊
#uspol

Für #Harris war es leider unmöglich, sich klar vom #Genozid in #Gaza zu distanzieren, eine andere Politik anzukündigen, und damit mehr eigene Wähler*innen für einen ausreichenden Vorsprung zu mobilisieren.

Das zweite Mal, dass es nicht ausreicht, das kleinere Übel im Vergleich zu #Trump sein zu wollen, statt etwas sichtbar und glaubhaft Anderes.

Den Preis für Harris' Versagen zahlt die Welt, in den kommenden Jahren.

What a truly horrid, pitiable excuse for a country. America simply won't elect a woman for president. Not a white woman, definitely not a woman of color. It would rather abandon women, the disabled, people of color and queer people and subject itself to tyranny.

If Harris loses there's no one to blame but the Democratic Party itself.

It seems like orange Hitler is going to be the next president of the US.

Who could have thought unconditional support of genocide has consequences in a country full of idiots?

Who wants to bet that blue MAGAts going to blame their loss on Jill Stein and pro Palestinians?

They should've sent Bill Clinton to more Arab communities to tell them their relatives deserve to die. Maybe a little more Dick Cheney.

'No votes for genocide'

Protesters target News Corp in New York after election polls close, claiming responsibility for Palestinian genocide rests with both major parties and their candidates.

This one was also kind of personal, and represents how my thoughts have been shifting lately, particularly today.

In lieu of cc:ing my usual chorus, I'm just going to cc: a handful of good folks for their feedback (if they want to give any) in a separate sub-thread.

I'm not a veteran, but I share the sentiment of this one.

Seriously, the f*ck is wrong with Texas? #uspol

I’m seeing something that I do not understand. ABC and NBC news have Trump over 170, but Harris at 34. Apple News is sourcing its calls directly from AP, and has Harris at at 99.

It’s like the news networks are delaying the calls for Harris long after the AP calls them. It makes Trump look like he has more of a lead than he does.

Maybe this is biased reporting to drive a late west-coast Dem turnout. Maybe something else. I’m confused.

"Has there ever been a time in our history when our nation is knowingly providing arms to another nation using those weapons to kill children, women, innocent people and target the press, doctors and medical workers? And policies enabling this are supported it seems by both candidates? Why are organizations like reporters for the freedom of the press or committee to protect journalist not speaking out?"

Fucking hell, hopefully Deuche Wella or some such have decent coverage of the US election.

How did Speers, a guy with nothing on his resume bar some radio gigs and decades at News Corp, and no discernable talents above hitting the botox too hard and interrupting interviewees before they've even spoken, slime his way into fronting every second show on the ABC?

What were management thinking?
