Happy Post-Election Day!

I am SO energized today!!! Watching it live last night was amazing. I’m so proud and that people voted like their lives depended on it. 💙💙💙💙

My husband woke me up at 230 am. He stayed up watching results and was so excited that he couldn’t wait to tell me. I too woke up feeling more positive than I have in years. I live in a Cincinnati suburb. A trend that stood out to me in local races- most levies passed. All different types: fire, police, school, mental health. It made me so happy, like people really wanted to take care of each other. Thank you to all who did vote.

I am about to go draw with some chalk on our driveway. It’s where I dump my anger or in this case my HOPE AND EXCITEMENT. I am thinking just a bunch of blue waves hopefully I have enough blue!! 🌊🤞🏼

I live in Iowa and it felt AMAZING and surreal to wake up in a blue state today!! We did it!!!

I was pregnant with my first child during the last election and felt so much despair at the results. I’m now pregnant with our second (still early so please send good thoughts!) and I feel so much HOPE. Lots of work to be done but it feels like we have a fighting chance. So grateful for all the historic wins. Keeping my fingers crossed for a Mississippi US Senate seat flip!

Elon Musk spent almost $500 MM USD and still could not buy the election. There is hope. My dream is that Trump really will work with the influx of Dems and the last two years of his term are far better than the first two, including undoing the DOGE damage. The Daily Show had a great guest this week, Michael Lewis, talking about this very topic. Great video, available on youtube.

The world was watching you… and you have given us the hope we needed. A big hug to the entire comunity of Cup of Jo

Woohoo!!!🎆🥳

I sang the entire “Sister Suffragette” song from Mary Poppins while getting ready. Today, my 15 year old son is getting one of those robot babies that you have to take care of for three days from school. This morning, he said, “I’m just glad I’m bringing my baby into a better world.” and I laughed and laughed. I am bursting with joy and hope and love for all the people who organized and ran and campaigned and voted. Thank you! We did it!! Now let’s send some folks to jail and abolish ICE!

Woke up with a feeling I could not quite identify… hope?! I stayed up watching the coverage last night and, for the rest of my life, will never forget the moment the news that Dems won both the House and Senate. I will also never forget watching (first Latina Governor of Texas!) Gina Hinojosa’s victory speech as she repeated a phrase everyone from a Latine household knows, “No te dejes.” It has been such a rough time for marginalized groups. For my community – being dehumanized, detained, deported, murdered, made to live in fear. This is the beginning of the end for this reign of terror. More than all of this, I will never forget getting to tell my kids the election results and going through all the “firsts.” For the first time in a long time, we woke up knowing we, as a nation, had not failed them. LFG!

Thank you for this post, I appreciate your hard work and courage to support those who need it the most now.

“According to an analysis published by The Intercept on 29 October, AIPAC spent $53.3 million, while UDP spent $66.7 million, bringing their combined spending to approximately $120 million. That compared with $95.1 million during the 2024 election cycle, an increase of around 26%.

Despite several high-profile defeats, most candidates backed by AIPAC and other pro-Israel political action committees won their races.

Data from Who Funds My Rep indicated that 169 of 185 tracked candidates had secured victories.”

20,000+ is the number of children that were deliberately murdered by Israel+ US. 1 tent that houses 8+ people costs $800+. And Israeli terrorists STILL bombs them at their whim.
