One of the reasons Democrats are more anxious about the election is because if Trump wins we lose rights, a strong economy, healthcare, democracy -- and if Harris wins Trump supporters lose... literally nothing. They'll claim otherwise, but they objectively don't lose a thing.

I agree with @ninaturner. The other day a coworker told me "good luck" -- knowing full well that I'm Irish and that this expression is an offensive reference to the potato famine. We don't have to stand for this
Yesterday, @GavinNewsom’s comms director @iGardon made an extremely ignorant, anti-Black comment in response to a post of mine regarding redistricting.
As someone who has taught Black history, I want to educate folks on, not only why this comment is offensive, but how it encapsulates liberals in this moment.
Kum ba yah, in the Gullah dialect of coastal South Carolina and Georgia, translates to “come by here,” a heartfelt plea to God to come to the aid of those in need.
During the civil rights movement, those marching from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights for Black Americans sang Kumbaya while marching.
This is the type of historical context that continues to be erased right now with the race to the bottom voter disenfranchisement fight.
This maneuver by the Newsom administration not only will disenfranchise voters, it runs the risk of further eroding the voting rights act in federal court—the same voting rights act that was won after Black Americans and a few other good folks put their bodies on the line to gain.
America isn’t “fading” into anything, it’s simply reverting to what it was and has always been for Black people. To combat that, we must know our history and take the lessons from those who fought and won.
So yes, @iGardon, we should be doing as those freedom fighters did: we must protest our government. We must demand better.
