The GOP & DJT have severely underestimated the depth of our fury. I'm no election expert but this is what I see in the long lines waiting to vote, & the enormous early voting #'s. Most of us have sacrificed in profound ways while DJT dances /1
2/ at his ego-filled, mask-less rallies, while McConnell laughs at a question on COVID relief, while Mike Lee shouts maskless in a hearing that shouldn't even be happening... Millions of us have not left our homes since March, struggled with work disruptions & unemployment
3/ shown up at food banks in numbers not seen since the Great Depression -- while DJT's admin & the GOP have FAILED to create a national mask mandate, have FAILED to figure out COVID relief, have FAILED to produce enough PPE (STILL) for health workers who STILL
4/ are reusing days-old PPE -- SO YES we are going to show up & vote like never before because we need this evil to be over. We are standing in lines, writing postcards, voting early, donating like never before because we actually believe
5/ that no one is above the law, that hypocrisy is not a viable strategy, that lying is inexcusable, and that we want our country's leaders to KEEP US SAFE. We are SICK of being lied to, cheated, and used for the benefit of those who know how to "game the system."
6/ SO YES we are going to vote like our lives depend on it because they DO. 215,000 dead (at least) who have not properly been mourned. (Can you even believe there hasn't been a national day of mourning?) OH YEAH (I'm not done...) We are sick & tired of OUR WHITE HOUSE being used
7/ for partisan campaign events & OUR Secret Service being used for nefarious purposes. We are sick of the gamification of our lives. We are sick of the hypocrisy of being "pro-life" for fetuses but not caring about the lives of actual black & brown people, or women
8/ or the thousands dying alone. So go right ahead Mike Lee, Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham, DJTrump - put your cravenness & lack of humanity on full display because your days in power are numbered. We are about to take our country back. THE END (thank you for listening)

1/ It is absolutely a shanda (deep disgrace) that there has been no national mourning for 200,000+ Americans dead from covid. That, too, will have to wait until Biden.
2/ In addition McConnell & Trump didn’t even wait 24 hours before their attempt to go against RBG’s dying wish. & to call her granddaughter, who is in mourning, a liar. These people need to be defeated & decency returned.
3/ Ginsburg’s family can’t even sit shiva until she’s buried. They are in a holding pattern in terms of jewish mourning practices. How DARE trump/McConnell disrespect them like this?

1/ From Rabbi Emily Segal - "there is a Jewish tradition that those who die just before Rosh Hashanah are extraordinarily righteous & truly precious to God. We are taught that each Rosh Hashanah it is written who will live and who will die in the year to come... @caffeinatedrav
2/ "So last Rosh Hashanah, it was determined that RBG would die before this next year came to be...God did not want to let this precious, righteous person go... " #RIPRBG #RoshHashanah @caffeinatedrav
3/ "God wanted to cling on to every second of having this person on earth. But, God is God... and God knows that this person's name is not written in the Book of Life for the year to come...So God waits until the very last possible moment of the year... @caffeinatedrav

SARAH COOPER!!!! @sarahcpr
This conversation with those that were “voted off the island” is really something. Gives me so much hope. It is the America of unity, not division. #DemocraticNationalConvention

I have never cried so much - #Dreamers #DACA #undocumented #immigrants We need to find our heart again as a nation. #DemConvention #dignity #respect #humanity
"Immigration is our origin story." AMEN @BarackObama #DemConvention
#Immigrants get the job done. We are MADE of immigrants. "Out of many, one." Welcome the stranger. Period. (Don't TELL me you're "religious" if you are not for protecting the stranger) #DemConvention
