It's cool to see the media finally start talking about the scary shit Trump has been saying at every rally and taking it maybe a little seriously for the first time. Now that voting is over.

Just have to say I'm sorry and thank you to everyone who tried.

I can't believe it's me of all people saying this but for God's sake don't kill yourself and don't detransition

Donald Trump and the GOP have been running a terrorism campaign since 2015. The U.S. is ABSOLUTELY a racist, misogynist, classist and [name your]-ist nation both in terms of systems and individuals but "ah well, we couldn't have done more, this should have been a gimme" is a wild fucking take

if you want a good reason why Trump might win it's becasue the media tried to explain to you that Joe Biden's gaffe was a bigger deal than RFK Jr's plan to murder your kids, which they mostly did not show voters.

The GOP spent $200M attacking trans people as their closing message and that's what worked.

A Yemeni taxi driver just told me he voted Trump. And then he told me how Trump stopped one his own family members who had won the diversity lottery from getting a green card. He said Trump will be different this time. "He's a good guy", he said, and will be different this time, "you'll see"

Russia's 2016 election interference was probably the most successful intelligence operation in recent history.

This is the Republican Party trying to secure the fruits of a Russian terrorist attack on the American election system.

It's so much worse than 2016 because this time we know how bad it's going to be.

my country elected a fascist 10 years ago and he's now arguably the most unpopular pm we've ever had and we still can't get rid of him because once a fascist gets into power, typically you do not get them out without a whole lot of mass violence. Don't be like us.

Trump Banks On Election Result to Make Criminal Cases Go Away For Donald Trump, the outcome of Tuesday’s election is about more than winning the White House β€” it’s also about the future of criminal cases that put him at risk of spending time behind bars.

Good on Lexi, who is stepping up big time.

But in a functioning democracy, this should not be necessary. There should be no issue with her absentee ballot - and the stakes in this election should not be so high that she felt like she needed to fly across the ocean.

This is a sign of crisis.

Personally, I think it's Bad that a foreign dictator aligned with one of our major political parties is calling in bomb threats to majority Black voting sites.

Teenager wearing Trump shirt charged with punching Harris supporter, 70 The boy, 17, who was wearing a shirt bearing an image of Trump extending his middle finger, was part of a group antagonizing ralliers, the woman said.

Let’s hope this isn’t a preview.

Iowa had abortion protected by its state courts. Then, just *days* before Dobbs, the Iowa's state supreme court struck that right down.

The GOP passed a 6-week abortion ban. It was upheld by the state supreme court this summer.

This is the first election since that ruling.

Some Surprises in Last Battleground Polls, but Still a Deadlock A rise for Kamala Harris in the Sun Belt, and a dip in the Northern swing states.

I like the idea of Trump losing and being miserable about it but more than that I think I need all the worst assholes across the country to experience crippling depression and despondence

Houghton women march in support of Harris This march, in support of Kamala Harris, was part of a nationwide effort.

🎡 'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say... Sisters are doin' it for themselves...🎡

If you're seeing what I'm seeing, the imagery in state rep races, depicting women behind bars, has been more powerful than some national ads. It's constant, and this is in supposedly safe Michigan.

This is the most normie thing I will say all year: this is the first time politics have felt like they did before it all became about Trump, by no means perfect, but far less septic.

Opinion | Leopards Are Telling You That They Will Eat YOUR Face Many of Donald Trump’s supporters are unprepared for what’s coming if he wins.

If I may be embarrassingly sincere for a moment - and maybe even a little "cringe" as the kids used to say two years ago! - I think we all take Paul Krugman for granted.
