And we won't know immediately after the polls close, either. In many states, they can't START counting mail-in and early votes until after in-person voting has concluded (for a number of reasons, some sensible, some residual). We might not know who the next president will be until Wednesday or even later.

Anyway, pace yourselves.

Please be extra kind to election workers today. They're doing vitally important work with long hours and low pay, and have to deal with all kinds of crap from irate citizens and, occasionally, fascist thugs.
I got a fist bump from a guy in his 70s for my Harris Walz hat when I got on the A train just now. I’m taking that as a good omen. #USPol #ElectionDay #Election2024

This is a photo of women in Iran in 1971. Now Iranian women would be arrested, and possibly never seen again, if they had their hair uncovered and dressed this way.

Never take women's rights for granted.

Zealots who want to control women need to be stopped. Every. Time.

Also, I think being busy will keep me sane. And off the rumor machine.

I told my students that there are no good faith actors online for the next few days. They should watch the AP for authoritative coverage. They should ignore lawsuits, as they are a way of casting doubt on the election and nothing more.

Now let's send these fuckers back to hell.

I've heard the phrase "nauseously optimistic" several times today, and wow, does that ever nail it.
The year is 2025. Kamala Harris is president. You earn 410,000 dollars. 10,000 of them are taxed higher than the other 400,000. Your fist clenches. The communists have won.

98-year-old Dick Van Dyke endorses Kamala Harris and reads a speech from 1964 when he shared a stage with MLK:

"Hatred is not the norm. Prejudice is not the norm. Suspicion, dislike, jealousy, scapegoating, none of those are the transcendent facets of the human personality. They're diseases!"

/6 If you are mansplaining OpSec based on shit you saw on TV, there is a high degree of certainty that everyone you are mansplaining to is an FBI agent and they are drawing on every day of their Mormon/Marine background not to laugh at your ass.
