whatever you do, don’t read the NYT this morning. the comments are a boatload of trash. there are comments like “we should acknowledge the fact that some Republicans wrote in a name” BITCH WHAT?

SIXTY THREE PERCENT OF WHITE WOMEN VOTED FOR A PEDOPHILE.

There was indeed a shift (from 15% Democratic to 30%) in the white vote compared to the last Obama election. However, white women still voted for Moore by nearly 2:1, and the white men by nearly 3:1. From the Wash Post exit poll breakdown (https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/alabama-exit-polls/?hpid…

Please don’t underestimate the white media’s ability to make everything about themselves. They’ll hit you with another 2016 gem like ‘white working class voter’ that’ll leave your head spinning.

Shout out to all the wonderful Black people who stopped this shit from happening!

We (in Atlanta) called my brother (in Auburn) and threatened to pull his plate at Christmas breakfast and dinner if he didnt vote today. Black folks everywhere should take this win.

Not the black vote, which was almost unanimous for the non-pedophile, especially among women—97%. Black vote saving America!

We have high black voter turnout - 95% of them voting for Jones - to thank for this win.

It’s a good W. But...

Thank the 97% of black women voters.

Considering all the voter suppression attempts that were made today, congratulations are in order.

Also, huge shout out and props to the black community for coming out to vote. Turnout in majority African American counties was very high compared to expected averages. Doug Jones had better remember that!

Huzzah for meeting some basic level of human decency in Alabama.

Birmingham swooping in for the save. I felt tears in my eyes when I saw it.

Also I’m pissed that somehow this mom is being interviewed on TV & yet Ashwanty Davis’ parents just managed to get the money to bury their child.

Unfortunately, this attitude is why rape as a tool of war is so widely used against Muslim women in conflict zones. Not only is it an attack against the woman who they rape, it is an attack that splinters families and communities. It was a major tactic in the genocide in Bosnia too.

Even worse-I guess it was to capitalize on Muslim hatred-she implied at first that Royhingyas started it somehow and this was retaliation and not victimization even though this is army versus civilians.

Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar’s civilian leader and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, lacks the authority to fully address the situation—though a Human Rights Watch spokesman asserted that she has allowed herself to be misled about what’s really going on

Yea that’s my thinking, basically. I don’t think multiple degrees or a “successful career” are accurate barometers on which we can judge sanity, stability, social grace or common sense. I work with many highly intelligent engineers who also slam doors in my face, shove me out of the way to get their food at the cafe…
