Hey Mitch, this has gone way past counting votes and presenting legal challenges. Trump is trying to overthrow a legally elected president and thwart the will of 80 million voters. Do we dare call this what it is: treasonous. How long will you stay silent?

He has violated all commandments and evangelicals don’t care about being hypocrites.

Evangelical support of Donald Trump despite his deception with this pandemic is hypocritical.
He violated two commandments: “Thou shalt not bear false witness” (he lied about COVID’s severity) & “Thou shalt not kill” (1/4 mil dead due to him)!
But they claim to be Pro-Life!

Want to know why it matters to have Black women run for office? My subway ride home reminded me.

Life of a Black resident: torn about whether I should consult on a racist patient after looking at his chart and seeing he calls staff the N word. Is this really helpful to my learning? Is this trauma even recognized? Black residents deserve protection.

Republicans are basically saying black votes are illegal, next they’ll say they’re only worth 3/5ths of a vote

This happens way to often.
I’m often asked by women how I could possibly submit to something as oppressive as the hijab.
Instead of defending the hijab and how I choose to practice my religion, I simply point out something I’ve always thought to be a double standard.

We need to define this because this sociological phenomenon happens all too often. Random guy, trust me when I say: you don’t know my culture more than me. Have a seat.

Donald Trump lost.
His claim of widespread voter fraud is baseless. There is zero evidence.
We must all, regardless of party or candidate preference, reject Trump’s efforts to undermine the bedrock principles that have made us the oldest continuous democracy on Earth.

Look whose talking now-this is the kind of history the US is known for & exactly the kind of history #45 tried to erase w/his “make America great again” rhetoric. Today, America looks great again. Now let’s heal the country & bring civility back into our society. #YesWeCanAgain

Congratulations, @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. Our two countries are close friends, partners, and allies. We share a relationship that’s unique on the world stage. I’m really looking forward to working together and building on that with you both.

A Black and Indian American woman named Kamala will be our Vice President. We are the first generation of Americans who will be able to respectfully say Madam Vice President.
Now let’s be the first generation of Americans to root out sexism and racism.

I feel like our ancestors are rejoicing.
For the first time, a Black and South Asian woman has been elected Vice President of the United States.
My sister has made history and blazed a trail for future generations to follow.
We love you, @KamalaHarris.

I'm going to say something that might be hard to hear, but I'm going to say it anyway.
To those who continue to decry the thin margins in this election, you need to de-center whiteness in your analysis.
Brief thread.

The term “legal vote” is as fictionally fraught and functionally racist as the terms “illegal alien” and “race neutral” and “welfare queen” and “handouts” and “super predator” and “crackbaby” and “personal responsibility” and “post racial.”
