Lisa Murowski already said she would not vote for a replacement before the election (not surprised, she seems to have some principles). So we only need a couple more.

Iโm relieved her body is resting. She seemed to have had a tough year with medical issues. Iโm sad that I am having a hard time focusing on remembering and defaulting on panic and despair. I will be honest and donโt know much about her.
I did tell friends it felt like when dumbledore died and we were left alone. Iโm just having a hard time looking for hope with her death. The Supreme Court is a big deal and fuck.

Anyone who doesnโt vote for Biden is a fucking awful person. I said it. And I fucking mean it. 1000% I donโt want to hear about anyoneโs fucking principles and โliberalism โ or whatever the fuck people try to tell themselves to justify not voting for Biden. Fuck every single one of those people.

I was talking to my mom when the alert popped up. We both just cried and cried. Iโm so grateful we had RBG fighting for us as long as we did. Fuck 2020. I called my mom and we cried. She did say this just makes her want to fight harder, fight like RBG did. I โค๏ธ my mom.

Iยดve lost faith in all of our systems already and no one person can keep a ship afloat, so I am going to focus on the fact that she gets to be at peace and is done with fuckery. She wouldnยดt have been able to save the Supreme Court from whatยดs coming anyway -- it just isnยดt the way it works anymore.

Seems like plenty of assholes just gloss over SCOTUS appointments when voting, when it is one of my top issues.

I know Iโm borrowing from everyoneโs emotions right now so I feel slightly panicked but the first thing I told my husband was โgoodbye womenโs rightsโ. Itโs scary to think about what it can look like for women and especially bipoc women. Iโm trying to focus my energy into positive outcomes but fuckity fuck fuck.

I just cannot imagine the burden she had been feeling trying to hold on longer. I'm glad she is able to rest now and hope she is at peace.

Fuck 2020. Fuck everything. And like others said I'm so sad that we can't even really mourn her as a person because our system is so fucked that we have to panic about what her loss means with cheeto in charge.

I really donโt need to worry about my state itself (although I should recheck just in case since some people are being a little crazy). But I am in a pretty stable area right now

I'm having feels about the fact that we expect people to be perfect. EVERYONE has things about them that are problematic. Everyone. thank you for saying it better than I could have. I was probably more problematic than I intended to be even a year ago. And I did so much less for the greater good.

Listen nobody can keep us down. Look in your local communities and identify places that champion and support and serve the populations you are most concerned about. Fuck the top. Grassroots. Women have risen before. Women will continue to rise. Donยดt any of you let yourselves think dissent died with RBG. That would be an affront to her legacy.

I'm having feels about the fact that we expect people to be perfect. EVERYONE has things about them that are problematic. Everyone. If this is in reference to me; Iโll say this The majority of yโall here are white. You can ignore some things because it doesnโt affect yโall in the same way. I donโt expect anyone to be perfect but when they have a pattern of problematic behavior: I will not ignore it. Especially when it affects my Black ass on a micro level YALL would never understand. It was not in reference to you.
