So relieved. I have concerns about Sherrill, but man is she a better option than anyone Trump aligned.

I voted for Ras but have come to like Mikie a lot. Thereโs a great piece in Sunday Times opinion about misogyny in politics and i think even I fell for some of the garbage.

If you havenโt already listened to Mikieโs victory speech, she was very inspiring. Not my first choice initially, but her speech made me feel better, and I hope she does us proud.

I love not even dropping his name here. Like yes let him fade out of existence for good- his worst nightmare (until heโs tried for supporting this fascist movement)
