This is a man who hates anything of beauty, thatโ€™s growing, respected. Whether itโ€™s a rose garden, a wing of the White House, or peopleโ€ฆ. He needs to destroy it. He needs to create ugliness, hate, darkness. Just like him.

I have enjoyed collecting fabrics from different parts of the world. All cultures make a version of what we call a quilt. I study the designs and make at least one in a traditional style. When I show them, the most common comment I get is โ€œ oh, theyโ€™re soโ€ฆ ethnicโ€ and a sneer.

Fabric from Australia and different parts of the African continent are what makes up this quilt I am completing. I started it two years ago on an early November day I hadnโ€™t had the desire to work on it since. After last Tuesday, Iโ€™ve been working on it non stop.

For nearly two years, the American people watched as Congress surrendered its constitutional authority to Donald Trump, abandoning its responsibility to serve as a check on executive power. We watched ICE agents descend on American neighborhoods, terrorizing families, separating loved ones, and conducting operations that raised grave questions about constitutional rights and deadly uses of force. We watched a president and those closest to him blur the lines between public service, personal enrichment, and political power. We watched American farmers struggle under the weight of tariffs, retaliatory trade policies, rising costs, and disappearing markets. We watched our closest allies alienated, decades of diplomatic relationships damaged, and Americaโ€™s credibility on the world stage eroded. We watched federal agencies gutted, career public servants pushed out, and scientific expertise dismissed. We watched the Department of Justice face political pressure while the independence of our institutions came under attack. We watched billionaires gain extraordinary influence while working families struggled to afford groceries, housing, healthcare, and childcare. We watched immigrants demonized, transgender Americans targeted, protesters vilified, and vulnerable communities turned into political punching bags. We watched attacks on voting rights, threats against political opponents, assaults on the free press, and efforts to undermine the very institutions designed to protect our democracy. We watched the normalization of corruption, cruelty, dishonesty, and contempt for the rule of law. And perhaps most disturbing of all, we watched members of Congress who swore an oath to defend the Constitution remain silent, make excuses, or actively enable the erosion of their own institutionโ€™s authority. But the American people were watching. We were listening. We were remembering. And now, we are demanding accountability. Not revenge. Not political retaliation. Not another round of empty speeches and promises. Accountability under the law. Accountability for abuses of power. Accountability for the damage inflicted on our country. Because elections are not simply about changing who occupies the seats of power. They are about changing what those in power are permitted to get away with. The American people did not fight to reclaim their government just to watch a new Congress protect the people who abused it. We did our part at the ballot box. Now Congress must do its part under the Constitution.

Anyone seeking to understand the midtermโ€™s lessons should start here: Democrats won by being populist economic fighters who were unafraid to call out the corrupt politicians and corporate interests who have rigged the system at the expense of everyone else.

I trust every democrat who won in the past 24hrs appreciates that our votes were not a gift. They were a loan. It's now your time to prove we made the right choice!

As Democrats, we now have an abundance of riches in terms of Senators. No excuse for us to continue to even humor obsolete, archaic, endlessly corrupt dipshits like Chuck Schumer. His version of the Democratic party is dead, regardless of whether he likes it or not.

Replying to @thejackhopkins
"Now, the work begins to actually deliver results. The American people have elected Democrats across the country in federal, state, and local races who must be ruthless in using every lever of power to deliver economic relief for working families and hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption." Kamala Harris ..."hold this administration accountable for their deep-seated corruption."

Just keep in mind, Schumer and Trump are friends. The kind of friends, that, even after Trump pulled the J6 bullshit, Schumer attended a dinner where Trump was speaking, and laughed at his stupid ass jokes. I donโ€™t want men or women like that anywhere close to a leadership position in this party.

For the love of all that is good, Democrats, do not squander this. The voters have given you a mandate. Use it. Be the party of working people. Be the anti-war party. Be the anti-corruption party. Be the party that ignores the Senate Parliamentarian. We cannot go back to business as usual.

First thing on our agenda is to get rid of these useless cowards. And thatโ€™s what they are. COWARDS. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries
The Democrats had their biggest win in 50 years and Schummer is already talking like he will work with "moderate" republicans. He is a terrible leader and the Democrats would betray their voters if they let this clowm lead the senate again.

First things Dems in the House should do: vote to restore the subsidies for ACA accounts and get rid of the cuts to Medicaid & SNAP. On Day One.

Iโ€™ve been voting since 1972 in every election. This is the first time ever that every candidate I voted forโ€ฆโ€ฆ won. Thatโ€™s a blue wave.

Still watching election results. Itโ€™s more than just my state. Watching the blue wave for the first time in years. It takes effects to affect personally to create change.

Governing by tantrum has resulted in Donald Trump holding his breath until America turned blue.

Hereโ€™s my view, the first thing democrats need to do, especially at the state level, before investigations, is to help the people who are hurting. And so many of us are hurting. People voted based on their pain.

Ok, young folk. Iโ€™m a smaller account. Not noticed much. A boomer whoโ€™s been progressive all her life. Never lost hope even when things appeared dismal. Watching the blue wave. Feeling so proud. People have woken up. Just in time.
