Now that the dust has begun to settle thought I'd geek out on my favorite political pastime: election night speeches. 🧵

In 1860, an enslaved man named Sheppard Peek was listed among the possessions of William Peek, a white man in Crawfordville.
More than a century and a half later, Sheppard’s great-great-granddaughter has been elected governor of Georgia.

Ossoff: It’s been amazing to watch this White House melt down over this all week. And about Natalie Harp, these White House staffers are adults, public officials paid by the taxpayer, with immense power in positions of public trust. And whether it’s Natalie Harp printing out Donald Trump’s daily dose of delusion and flattery, or Peter Navarro steering taxpayer-funded loans to Trump family investments, or Pete Hegseth deluding the president daily into deepening this quagmire in the Middle East, no one cares about their feelings.
The sailors on the Lincoln are fighting his war, a war based on lies, while he plays with his new ballroom, flies around on a jet given to him by a foreign prince, and retreats into this circle of sycophantic aides who tell him every day what he wants to hear, not what he needs to hear.
This entire White House is responsible for lying the country into war, and for the rest of their careers, they will be known for having participated in this obscenity.
This hits @AJentleson! Our democracy is a shit show and we’re not going to fix it by pretending we just need a few tweaks. A society where Trump is possible needs deep reform. The assignment isn’t getting back to normal. It’s changing the damn rules.
In his guest essay for the NYT today, @AJentleson makes the case for Democrats to look beyond narrow majorities, embrace heterodoxy, and build a lasting coalition that can not only pass bold legislation but fix broken institutions and restore faith in our democracy.

Michelle Obama: We simply don't have the luxury or time to be cynical or complacent. Hope is the essential spark that lights the fire of change. But hope is a choice. Whether or not we speak up is a choice. Voting is a choice. Being a decent human being is a choice. Believing that we still hold the power to build a country that reflects us all is a choice.
My God…
Everyone needs to watch @Justinjpearson's floor speech from the TN State House.
"Today, you will take the only Black-majority district from us. But I want you to know: No matter what you do, no matter how much you try to break us & make us bend & quit — we will still be here."

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.
So now we know what tomorrow will be: a day of distraction.
A prime-time “address to the nation” to pull focus.
This is the playbook: create chaos, command attention, shift the spotlight.

A sitting president showing up at the Supreme Court? While justices weigh who gets to belong in America? This isn’t normal. It’s pressure.
Who’s he meeting before and after? What’s happening behind closed doors?
This crosses a line. Our democracy is dying.

"Consider what he intends to do if we give him power again. Consider his explicit intent to jail journalists, political opponents, and anyone he sees as the enemy. And we know what a second Trump term would look like. It’s all laid out in Project 2025." ~ @KamalaHarris, 08/22/24

BREAKING:
Both the White House & RNCC have lashed out at the creators of this ad.
It must have struck a nerve.
Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.
You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!

Arresting reporters is Step 5 of authoritarians. No one is safe if they can arrest reporters.
