We had a very satisfying election yesterday, and we celebrate today. But remember, it wasn't a slam-dunk. We're back to work tomorrow, calling bullshit on bullshit, looking for good candidates to run down ballot, and taking back local, state, and federal governments from cave dwelling Republicans.

Yes. We can never stop smacking down the threat Republicans bring to our democracy and personal freedom. And urging the Dems to sharpen their messaging-I feel it’s people like Jeff who are doing the heavy lifting for them. They need to get to be more direct IMO. Today I will savor, though.

They spent FIFTY YEARS on destroying Roe, they will never quit, that’s why we also cannot quit.

Women will NEVER give up on abortion rights. I fought for them 50 years ago, I find it hard to believe that my granddaughters have fewer rights to bodily autonomy than their mothers.

Probably what the GQP/MAGA is doing now is trying to figure out how to lie better in the future and keep people who could vote against them from voting. That's their usual MO. Of course it wouldn't work without a gullible and money-hungry so-called 'free press'.

So, yes...we have to be ready for every onslaught. But it's wonderful to know that there are more like-minded people out there than is apparent if you just watch the talking heads or read the polls!

Y’know, I read your comment and thought, “Holy fuck, did they erect roadblocks TOO?”

Because it wouldn’t surprise us, would it?

I, too, was thinking that as reading and feeling just a (little) bit good🤣. Don’t stop now. We have a lot of work to do... they are used to thinking critically do not trust them r’s. 🇺🇸💙

Good, because only blue voters are critical thinkers.
