Celebrate, Keep In Mind: Dems Must Take The US Senate Jan. 5, 2021 Georgia Run-Off Election, 2 Seats

'Suffering a stinging defeat, Trump fumes right as Democrats rev up to retake the Senate,' Daily Kos, Nov. 7, 2020

..So take a moment to breathe and do what you need to do, whether that's mourning what's been lost along the way or raising a glass and hugging your loved ones.

And then let's get back to those Senate races with the full force of our convictions and the knowledge that these are truly winnable seats.

Whatever Trump does, we can be assured that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris know what's at stake and will be doing everything in their power to bring those seats home.

Finally, in honor of this history-making day, I leave you with a quote I both adore and live by from the great Audre Lorde:

This is why the work is so important. Its power doesn’t lie in the me that lives in the words as much as in the heart’s blood pumping behind the eye that is reading, the muscle behind the desire that is sparked by the word—hope as a living state that propels us, open-eyed and fearful, into all the battles of our lives. And some of those battles we do not win.

But some of them we do. We’ve done some damn fine work, my friends. Onward!

> The Georgia run-off is January 5th. Request an absentee ballot by Nov. 18. Early in-person voting starts Dec. 14. And REGISTER TO VOTE here by Dec. 7...

Everyone, left or right, black or white, is going to be all in. We all have so much to lose.

Moscow Mitch is already arrogantly boasting about blocking all of Joe & Kamala's initiatives! (How this is not illegal, I will never understand!) we absolutely MUST register voters, fire them up, drive them to the polls & feed & entertain them while they wait in god awful long lines to win the Senate!

This is an imperative!!!!
