Guys. The POS didn't accept the results IN 2016! He won the f**king election and STILL claimed it was rigged. So if Dem leaders have no plan for the looming chaos by now, they will never have one. But I do: Me & 10 million of my friends are going to DC to drag him out ourselves.

One of my favorite short stories ever. So artful and powerful.
"This is how to love a man, and if this doesn’t work there are other ways.” Fiction by Jamaica Kincaid, from 1978. nyer.cm/4GU7nyM
The second incredible essay I’ve read this year.
What Ails America nybooks.com/daily/2020/09/03… via @nybooks
“We don’t have time, Nephew, time has us. It holds us in its mouth like an owl holds a field mouse. We shiver. We struggle for release, and then it pecks out our eyes and intestines for sustenance and we die the death of field mice.”
- “There There,” Tommy Orange

Let's make sure Americans know who the @SenateGOP really is.
Wrote a bunch of pieces for ACLU Magazine's Summer 2020 issue, including a feature on the ACLU's unrelenting efforts to reform/abolish cash bail, a mission that only became more urgent with the arrival of COVID. @aclupa @ACLU @UdiACLU aclu.org/sites/default/files…

Did I miss it? Has a single @SenateGOP - @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @senatemajldr - stated publicly that explicitly destroying the USPS to slow ballots is an assault on American democracy that will prevent Americans - including R voters - from exercising their most basic right?
I want next VP @KamalaHarris tasked with orchestrating the investigation and prosecution of every corrupt act and official in the previous administration. No pardons, no passes. When this is over, America needs justice. She's the one to bring it, for sure.
I know life is an unprecedented shitshow right now, but I just came into the living room to find that my 16-mo.-old had pulled Ray Bradbury, Audre Lorde, Graham Greene, and @BCDreyer down from the bookshelf, so I’m feeling mad optimistic for the first time in ages.
