Celebrate, but don’t you dare think the 71 million people who thought a bigot in the White House was acceptable aren’t fuming right now.
Trump helped make clear how deeply divided this nation is. That won’t go away with Biden & Harris.
White supremacist are real & angry now.
Trump will continue to fan the flames of division all the way to the end.
Decency has never been his thing, and it isn’t for his supporters either. They voted for him. Which means to whatever degree they agree with his approach.
Expect pushback from them in the days ahead.
America has always been the country we’ve seen for the last 4 years through a Trump presidency. It will be that tomorrow, and the day after.
Which means we have to protect ourselves and be careful of our surroundings. Everybody in the crowd isn’t a supporter. Know this.
We should be joyful warriors.
So celebrate, but remember the threat of white supremacist we’ve seen advancing through the years. It’s here, and Trump is going to buck them up.
So keep that in mind in the days ahead. Even at work, expect the boss to trip if they supported him.
Just keep your head on a swivel and know that this is just the beginning of a long few weeks.
There will be twist and turns, but we’ve survived this far. We will continue to do so, and history will be kind to those of us who Do Good and Seek Justice. #KeepPushing y’all.

Mr. GoAuto @GoAutoInsurance Greg Tramontin thought it was appropriate to call the Vice President Elect Kamala Harris a “hoe.”
Greg benefits from many Black women who currently have auto insurance with his company. I think that everyone of the women who support his company >>>
and family by purchasing auto insurance should know this is how he thinks and speaks about Black women.
White men in power struggle to respect anyone else but other white men in power. They can’t grasp that anyone else is competent enough to lead.
Greg & his business should feel this. There should be Black men and women calling to cancel their insurance policies and going where they won’t be called a hoe when they reach the second highest office in America.
Black People, Trumps plan for us is 2 pages. Biden’s is detailed. I’m voting for Biden, not because he’s some great white hope. I’m voting for him because I know Donald Trump is a joke. Just like his “Platinum Plan.”
I’m a person who believes in policy.
What people put on paper and vote on impacts our lives. Trump is playing games as usual. He’s got a 2 page plan. Biden has a detailed plan.
Celebrity influencers are cool. I respect and appreciate the elevation they help provide to conversations.
Still, we have to lean and trust those who do this work consistently for advice on the path forward.
No president is going to save us. We will save ourselves. We must demand more of all in power, Dems and Republicans, Black, white — male and female.
Killers. That’s how they should be identified. Troopers Kory York and Dakota Demoss were the other two Louisiana State Troopers who killed Ronald Greene. York and Demoss along with the now deceased Trooper Chris Hollingsworth savagely beat #RonaldGreene.
They used their tasers on him repeatedly. They beat him bloody. They drug him by his ankles in hand cuffs. They washed the blood off their hands and made horrible statements.
They kept their jobs.
These killers should be fired, charged, arrested, and convicted for the murder of Ronald Greene. This happened under the watch of Kevin Reeves the current head of state police and Gov. Edwards @LouisianaGov it’s unacceptable that this has gone on for over a year.
#BreonnaTaylor’s case is an example of need for independent investigations.
Currently American policing and prosecutors have a marriage. So Daniel Cameron or any prosecutor typically has a close relationship with law enforcement.
Then we ask them to impartially investigate the same people they work with everyday.
We ask them to investigate the very people who endorse them and help them get elected. Even the feds aren’t independent, why? The feds are still the police.
As we learn more about this travesty of an investigation let’s continue to push for policies that help us fix this at the root. Yes vote, but vote for candidates who support changing everything as we know it about the so called justice system.
