After trumpy won, I seriously considered selling my stock portfolio. Procrastinators weepers is me!

Worth a watch!

I found this useful

I would think that the entire fun of being a billionaire would be never having to suck up to anyone, least of all dipshits like Donald Trump, but apparently I’m wrong.

Hard agree👇

Anybody out here actually like those boring Happy Thanksgiving texts from family and friends? I much prefer calls. I think I’ll go make some. I’ll

Hi Blueskyers. I run the organization @protectdemocracy.org which aims to do just that. Over the past decade we’ve won countless cases to protect voters and truth, helped pass legislation, and unfortunately predicted much of what’s happened. Follow and repost so we can keep doing that here.

3rd smallest margin since 1888!

Not only are teslas ugly, not only are they built by a trumpist billionaire ass, but they are also deadly!

Absolutely! Rest up a few hours, then get up!

This statement by Ras Baraka (Newark mayor - son of Beat poet Amiri Baraka) is poignant. He’s also running for gov here in NJ next year.

The gentler side of human nature has been squashed by tech. People live in their anger cocoons of smartphones and TV and this is what emerges.

What can I say? The United States is a deeply unhealthy country. There’s a lot of anger, fear, and selfishness out there. Also, we’re all way much online — not enough talking to others in person, going into nature, engaging with the arts.

A reminder that the #1 people to blame for Trump winning are all of the terrible human beings who voted for him and backed him. Lots of other questions about the way forward. But those people all had agency, and they used it their agency to cause harm.

The indefatigable Wisconsin Dem Party Chair Ben Wikler says: “I think we’re going to win this… it feels really good.”

Out: curing meat! In: curing ballots!

Damn, this is a good pep talk - from the spiky James Carville, who doesn’t blow smoke.

Fare thee well, Phil Lesh. An incredibly imaginative bass player and all around cool and decent dude!

Real quotes from Donald Trump: "I need the kind of generals that Hitler had." "[The] Vietnam [war] would have been a waste of time for me. Only suckers went to Vietnam." "It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!" But sure, tell me how he's fit to be president.

New! And looks plausible. WaPo-Schar School poll: likely voters in battleground states: PA: Harris 49%, Trump 47% GA: Harris 51%, Trump 47% MI: Harris 49%, Trump 47% WI: Harris 50%, Trump 47% NV: Harris 48%, Trump 48% AZ: Trump 49%, Harris 46% NC: Trump 50%, Harris 47%

Man I sure wouldn't say this if I thought I could still win Michigan

"Harris's flagging momentum" is a made up news story, a way to get a negative narrative going that has basically no evidence behind it besides cherry picking unfavorable polls.

From Hopium: - Harris up 4 in new NYT PA poll, early vote is encouraging, we have more money/vols - Our Closing Strong intv w/Josh Stein on Helene recovery, battling disinfo, winning NC - Trump’s message increasingly sounds like a desperate, losing one 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/harris-up-...

This is fascism without the mask. We’ve got to do all we can to win the swing states. Elmo in PA be damned. Donations, postcards, calls, texts, door knocking, talking to friends/famil. All help!

And yet, I have mannerly, polite Catholic relatives who are gung ho about this violence-stoking bigot authoritarian. They are hypocrites and extreme passive aggressives.

Remember: it’s all about getting out the vote! Here in NJ, it’s roughly half and half politically. But Dems almost always win because our get out the vote infrastructure is virtuosic. Don’t fret about polls. Volunteer!
