The MAGA dude in my neighborhood whose yard has been adorned with flags and signs for the last year (and works in the auto industry); yesterday, I noticed that every flag and sign had been removed. The yard was bare.

Yesterday was a good day, and a good start. Dems held the line in Wisconsin, my local school board election and village board election went blue (by a fairly wide margin) and Corey Booker made history with a marathon impassioned speech from the senate floor. Today is a good day to be 💙.

I now understand why T*ump chose Vance as VP…
He wanted a foil for us to hate more than we hate him. Vance is an embarrassment, but he’s an incredibly dangerous embarrassment.

We are living in the stupidest timeline. I can’t believe this is even a thing that anybody thought needed to happen.
Also, this lifelong Chicago suburbanite still calls it the Sears Tower. So yeah. Not doing this either.

“Man In the Mirror” never fails to give me goosebumps, even after all these years.
When you close your heart, you close your mind. A good reminder of how to interact with each other as we enter what will likely be a very dark time for all of us.

Health Insurance is a money-making venture, which is a huge problem, but in the past two years I’ve had multiple experiences with health-care providers who seemed shockingly detached & ambivalent. And not just one isolated incident, either.

Aside from the usual gloom and doom of the past month, the biggest impact of the election in my household is that my 17yo, who had spent the past year planning to enlist, has now shifted to their plan B.

Regardless of political affiliation, you should be very bothered by how much influence billionaires bought themselves in this election. Quite literally in Musk’s case.
