Checking in... Let's talk. Hey y'all. We are one day out, and you've already made it 24 hours. That's good. I am so blessed to have been able to spend what was otherwise a horrific night with the company of all of you.Erin In The Morning
"Trump’s predictable return to the presidency—in what is the final American presidential election of our lifetimes (a conservative plan decades in the making, with help from liberal complicity masquerading as incompetence)—was nothing more and nothing less than the majority of white voters confirming that they want to live in a country that adheres to the standards of living as expressed in 1824 rather than 2024."
"The majority of white people knew that a vote for Trump would be a vote against Black people, Brown people, Asian people, queer people, trans people, disabled people, poor people, Black and Brown immigrants, Palestinians, children, the rights of women, unions, literature, art, the environment, and democracy."
"The media will be complicit in protecting the majority of white American voters from being labeled as the staunch and bred bigots that they are."

"Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and getting an updated gender marker will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption - If you have a trans kid that is stealth, consider maintaining stealth to get around enforcement of anti-trans laws."
It's going to get very bad for some of us, quickly. Because others have chosen this for us.

Donald Trump can’t stop global climate action. If we stick together, it’s the US that will lose out

The election of Donald Trump is not only a setback to the world’s ability to rein in dangerous levels of warming. It also signals to other nations that the new leadership of the richest country in the world, which is also history’s largest emitter of planet-warming greenhouse gases, is not interested in protecting the lives of people battered by extreme heat, fire and floods, and is dismissive of the economic opportunities of transitioning to cleaner technologies

The untold story of the world’s biggest #nuclear #bomb
Source: thebulletin.org/2021/11/the-un…
Designed to have a maximum explosive yield of 100 million tons (or 100 megatons) of #TNT equivalent, the 60,000-pound monster bomb was detonated at only half its strength. Still, at 50 megatons, it was more than 3,300 times as powerful as the atomic bomb that killed at least 70,000 people in #Hiroshima, and more than 40 times as powerful as the largest nuclear bomb in the US arsenal today. Its single test represents about one tenth of the total yield of all nuclear weapons ever tested by all nations.
