I knew things were bad… but I can’t believe we just watched a Presidential acceptance speech that said Trump and his family deserved the win more than anyone (humble much), thanked Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and then had a UFC fighter give a speech.
What is even happening?

Epilogue: Never forget that we give a right to a fetus that we don’t give to any other person anywhere - the right to use another person’s body without express and ongoing consent.
Men never have to worry about this - and if they did - things would be VERY different.

I’m a Canadian woman who lost her uterus at 24 due to severe disease & bleeding. I can’t get pregnant.
I’m still appalled and frightened by what’s happening to reproductive rights in the U.S.
My own personal experience showed me how many people see women as incubators /1 🧵

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind.
Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared

No, I don't really accept this interpretation as it implies that those who support Trump aren't fascists. They are. Over half of the American voting public are fascists, the Republican party is a fascist party. This is something Democrats need to accept if they actually want to regain power.

When I was about 10, I freaked out because brother said I couldn't prove that we saw the same colors. Tonight, I'm feeling something similar but with considerably more fear.

We've really been divided and conquered. Half the country sees the struggles of the other half as abstract hypotheticals.

Here is my one pithy post:
Approximately half of the country's population is looking at the same man yet seeing and hearing completely different things. That should freak you out no matter how you slice it.

It baffles me that 67 million Americans can vote for a convicted felon and rapist. In hindsight it's amusing anyone thought there was some kind of blackmail tape someone had on that man. I figure about the only thing that can defeat him is his McDonalds diet at this point.

4. Please don't abandon the request to help cure ballots.
I know it might feel like a "what's the point" moment right now, but your efforts will also help House races.
As I said earlier, we still have pathways to winning the House. It's going to be 2016 again, but it's still important.

There are a number of reasons for why this happened.
We need to have serious postmortems (WITHOUT POINTING FINGERS) but most importantly, we need to group together to figure out how we fight what's coming next.
They've telegraphed their plans across the board, and we need to work together.

All, a couple of things.
1. If you have a Twitter account, please go secure it right now. Deactivating it is the best option.
2. Please check in on family, neighbors and friends tonight. This news is going to hit very, very hard for a lot of people. They need support.
3. Regroup.
