- Looking at Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have been treated the worst by our democracy consistently do the most to save it.
- Guess what they don’t do in South Korea? Make fun of people for wearing masks in a pandemic. They’ve had 300 deaths.
- The fact that Mitch McConnell - a man with an unrelenting commitment to undermine America's first Black president - could lose his veto power over American democracy bc of Raphael Warnock, John Ossoff and Stacey Abrams is some kind of American justice.
- Trump being defeated by Obama's Vice President is the most appropriate way for this to come to an end.
- It's not just Trump. None of this - the 100,000 dead, the tens of millions unemployed, the social fabric shredded, the global reputation collapsed - would have happened without the full support of the Republican Party.
- It’s telling that the last two Democratic Presidents began their presidencies with a “Recovery Act” and a “Rescue Plan” because their inheritances were so catastrophic.
- We really need a new President.
- When you hear that China did a better job containing COVID-19 because it’s authoritarian, remember South Korea. The issue is competence, not democracy.
- Vote for Joe Biden like your life and democracy depends on it.
- No President can order a wiretap. Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you.Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
- Reminder that the Republican Party is the only major political party anywhere in the world that denies the reality of climate change.
- Getting an 8pm curfew alert on my phone during a pandemic and Depression while Trump invites Putin to the US is about where I thought we'd be in year 4 of Trump.
- Donald Trump demands long form birth certificates but can’t produce his negative tests.
