I commit to stop and be witness any time I observe a person of color being approached by police. Will you commit to do the same?

Think of how much time we have all wasted because he has sucked the oxygen out of our lives for the last almost 10 years. We can't wait for the day to come when he is out of our life and our daily consciousness. This loser and animal needs to be put away.

Go, Taylor Swift. I may not be the biggest fan of her music, but I am a big fan of statements and perspectives like this. We need more of it. We need it now. And we as a nation need to come around this type of thinking and make it happen.

Do we have a Federal Elections Commission anymore?
Where did 20 million votes go when turnout was record-breaking?
There is no reasonable scenario in which we had record turnout for voting but there are 20 million votes missing. Both cannot be true.

I am sick of hearing that keeping Trump off ballots or prosecuting him would rip the country apart, esp. by Dem operatives (looking at you, @davidaxelrod)
The country has been ripped apart for the last 8 years. It is time to put these criminals where they belong: prison.

So disappointed in Jon Stewart and The Daily Show last night. That was an epic fail. I won't be watching, going forward. Both-sidesism is what has gotten us here and is eating us alive.

Yes, exactly. It is a temperament he exudes often. It is exactly what our country needs. He is one of few statesman able to raise us as a whole and cast a compelling vision, one, especially, that is genuinely hopeful and even joyful.

He is a sociopath who, by now, should be under some significant restraint or restriction as ordered by the court. He will not abide by the results of an election, he will not agree to no violence, and he has told us he wants to be a dictator. What more do we need?
Q: You just said there will be “bedlam in the country,” will you tell your supporters no violence?
Trump: *ignores and walks away*

Maggie, how about this?
Since the electorate clearly distanced itself from Trump and MAGA last night, MAGA is waning. How about we quit spending all our energy on Trump, not report on his every move (in fact, quit giving him attention at all), & report on real & healthy things?

I am not dissing the Cubs here, but they didn't "do the right thing." The jerk behind the kid knew the ball wasn't for him and should never have put his mitts on it. All those around should have shamed the guy & his wife to give the ball to the kid, who was the intended recipient

I still don't think we realize how extreme, in every way, Trump & the GOP are. Listening to Biden, or reading his tweets, or listening to the calmness of real professionals during these tense days is a balm that heals the soul. We have endured PTSD from the GOP & Trump for 4 yrs

It is aberrant and abhorrent that you say this, Melania. You haven't done one thing to advance the health of the black community. Not one thing. And you have not done anything to defy the white supremacy of your husband. You should be ashamed at a tweet like this. Take it down.

Donald J. Trump is the greatest traitor in history to the United States of America.
Anyone else pales in comparison. Benedict Arnold. The Rosenbergs.
Everything he has done is an American sell-out and is self-aggrandizing greed and dishonesty.
