With this speech and her earlier call conceding the race, Harris is affording Trump what he did not afford to the incoming Biden-Harris administration: a commitment to a peaceful transition of power and acknowledgment of a legitimate victory.

Reupping this. It’s bad enough to have to be under the rule of one spoiled child. At least this one I can walk away from. I just hope more people migrate over.

I was reticent to leave here during an election, but now that it’s over I’ll be closing up here in the next few weeks and moving over to Bluesky.

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

From CNN’s @MarshallCohen and @YahyaGhazala: Detroit mayor’s office says they don’t know what Trump is talking about; spokesman for Detroit elections department says, “We are unaware of any police presence in the city for elections beyond what was outlined in a press conference last Thursday and widely reported nationally.”

Quincy Jones earned a scholarship to Boston's Schillinger House (now the Berklee College of Music) in 1951. A display outside the Office of the President features facsimiles of the then-17-year-old's letter of inquiry and application for admission.
