  3. The "Cuban Vote" is not the "Latino Vote." Cubans have been sold a narrative that they have a guaranteed path to whiteness, and many will sell out every other minority to get it. Trump's appeal is the appeal of white supremacy.

  5. And to every white person saying “we’ve been through this before””worse than this”—yes, we have been through generations of white apathy towards systemic attempts at destroying Black lives. If your survival hasn’t been on the line, your only job is to show up and shut up.

  6. It’s not even 9:00am, and I’m tired of talking heads already saying to “sympathize” and “listen” to voters who support an overt white supremacist. No, I will not see your vote as anything but a stamp of approval for my dehumanization.

  7. Can you imagine sleeping peacefully tonight? Can you imagine being that relaxed before ?

  9. If we get anything out of this Election it’s because Black and brown organizers and leaders made it happen. Even campaigning for white leaders that don’t show up for them.

  13. If you’re feeling powerless after last night, there is something you can do about it. Turn out the Black and brown vote. If you never volunteered in 2016 and felt defeated, now is the time to shape the next four years and beyond. VOLUNTEER!

    Republicans have won the popular vote only once in the last seven elections yet will have appointed six of the nine Supreme Court justices. This is not democracy.

  16. I wonder what it's like to not have your personhood on the ballot every election.

  17. A Black man was shot ten times in front of his mother today. Before midnight, the GOP voted to confirm a white supremacist jurist to ensure that this countries remains entrenched in violence.

    Why is Trump saying that businesses are "dying" when it is people who are dying? Honestly, why is that not being picked apart? Oh, right...colonial-capitalism. Corporations are people, and people are...too expensive to care for.

  21. I wasn’t ready for how gratifying it was to hear his mic go mute.
