It's All Over Except for the trumpian Lawsuits

They called it in Pennsylvania. Biden and Harris won the Electoral College.

There are reports of fireworks across the globe.




With all the partisan strife across the United States, at least 75 million of us voted for Biden to help us recover from the disasters - and yes there have been many - of the trump regime.

It's only a partial victory, though. And trump is not going to take this sitting down. Lawsuits are already getting flung across half the states in a vain attempt to nullify the actual votes counted. There remains the small possibility that trump can get his puppets on the Supreme Court to throw out the results altogether in a legal mind screw that would disenfranchise much of the nation. But if trump is expecting another Bush v Gore, it's not the same situation: Where that was a decision forcing the Florida recount to end, trump is asking the courts to not let ANY counts (negatively affecting HIM) happen at all. It'll be a legal step too far...

It's not over yet, America. There's still the Georgia Senate elections to runoff, and a chance at a 50-50 control to negate McConnell's power. They'll need your help (via ActBlue), get to it.

More on this later. For now, America, WE DANCE (And Philly fans punching a police horse as expected).

Can we finally give Black women their props on this? And not just Stacey Abrams, as magnificent as she is, but the legions of Black, female organizers who have been busy working to turn the South blue for decades.
They have a lot riding on their shoulders right now with the Georgia runoffs, so can we at least be sort of nice to them for a while?
