With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go…but well done!

White women today: Thank you Stacey Abrams!!!!

Same white women tomorrow on Zoom w/ a Black woman at work: I just feel intimidated by you and don’t like your tone! I don’t feel comfortable working with you. (Insert tears) pic.twitter.com/esf0I6U71V
Not non-Black women saying "Black women are heroes", but gaslighting Black women at work, you actually hate to see that.

Dear white women praising Stacey Abrams, Okay now find the black women in your sphere, in your office, in your PTA and listen to them too. Stacey would want you to, and she wouldn't have to work so damn hard if we had already done this.

Now do you understand why Republicans suppress Black votes? I hereby declare that the Southern states are not red. They are suppressed.

Now I’m waiting for a thousand stories with BLACK rural diners and BLACK suburban soccer moms in Georgia and why the Republicans did so poorly and how they need to change.

A Black man and a Jew winning election to the US Senate in the deep south is evocative of the old civil rights alliance in a way I find … emotionally resonant.

Congratulations to the new senators from Georgia, and to everyone who organized and voted to get them there. It's a new day. pic.twitter.com/OUdkopv96G

The Voting Rights Act was only signed 55 years ago. Tonight I'm thinking about all the Black folks in Georgia who have lived on both sides of it. Who voted in this election and who remember a time when they wouldn't have been able to. It wasn't that long ago. Not at all.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Reverend Raphael Warnock was polling at 9% when the Atlanta Dream and WNBA players threw their full support behind him and elevated his national profile. Now he’s Georgia’s first black Senator.

Rev. Warnock was Congressman John Lewis's pastor. Ossoff was Lewis's intern. And somewhere, somehow both near and far, I have to think that Rep. Lewis is saying, "Well done."

Good Afternoon and Hallelujah!
Dudette! Thrilled for GA and for us, but now the domestic terrorist attack on the US Capitol must end so the process of certifying the Electoral College votes can finish. The chief white supremacist inciting this sedition must be removed by Impeachment/Conviction or 25th Amendment whichever is faster.
I agree. Still don’t get why the terrorists haven’t been cleared out of the Capitol Bldg and off the grounds.
Excellent post Nerdy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🙌🏾👏🏾
CNN reports Merrick Garland is the pick for AG!
That’s my favorite part of his naming Merrick Garland!
Marc Elias has also been a trooper in squashing all of these Trump lawsuits.
Yes he has! I should be wearing a cape.
Yo! Check out Newark!
Congrats on the journey. Georgians who slugged it out + everyone who created this beautiful outcome!!!
Black organizers and voters, Congressman Clyburn…got PE Biden and VPE Harris on the ticket….and now Reverend Warnock and Jon Ossoff. America and our planet owe you very big time.
Ring out the bells!!
Good day TODville.
Thank you NW … you are much much much appreciated.
I have come to the conclusion that in order to get Ted Cruz on your side, one has to begin by demeaning his wife and accusing his father. Donald Trump is proof that it works.
Senator Klobuchar is top Dem on certification:
“Our coup-fighter ranks are growing every day” as opposition to Trump builds.
She “emphasizes Pence’s role as “presider not decider” in the electoral counting proceedings in the Senate.””

We won the election.
Sorry joe. It does reflect true murkkka. The violence. The arrogance. The sense of entitlement.
Any fucking questions? I have one. How did these traitors BUILD this with no one seeing them do it??
She’s expecting sympathy?
Senators and congress cowering in the basement of their own house speaks volumes about what us of a has become over the years.
Rep Jason Crow (CO) who served in Afghanistan, spoke to Maddow,
was in the gallery when the insurrectionists came in, locked doors, piled furniture against doors, had guns.
Capitol police showed courage in protecting them all. There’s a question of why there was not more preparation to prevent outer security being breached, looting, vandalism and free roaming. Congressman Crow said the area is still not secure but that his colleagues will return, and not allow sedition and treason stop them from doing their job today:
“We will endure…the vast majority of ams are great honorable and courageous people…their voices will be heard and their votes will be counted…we will prevail, we will go back to the capital, and we will finish our work.”
Rep Linda Sánchez saying she was put in a safe place, it was crowded, including GOP not wearing masks.
So she found an alternate place. She told her husband where her will was last night.
The Congresswoman telling Wallace she doesn’t understand why the insurrectionists are still taking photos on their phones, and why they have not been arrested and prosecuted.
Yup. Where are the all tanks and the police thugs armed to the teeth military style that were in STL just a few months back?
It’s amazing how the senate is still going to continue with these fraud ‘hearings’ instead of just certifying the election and moving to impeach the treasonous seditious traitor.
putin: mission accomplished.
fuck jack.
Yup, you got what a few hundred thugs there? And yet you couldn’t clear them for hours?
Not just last 5 years, for decades.
New post.

Woman who was shot inside the Capitol has died.
2 suspected explosive devices so far, Capitol complex not secure, getting dark outside.

This whole ‘transition period’, ‘president elect’ bs needs to shitcanned immediately. No other country in the world has such a nonsense.
