I’m thinking of all my American siblings who will be feeling unsafe and scared. And of the legions of people, well beyond the world of elite politics, who will wake up and continue to do the hard, backbreaking work of building a world worth fighting for, brick by brick. ❤️

I have precisely zero time today for anyone who wants to pin this outcome on black, Hispanic and Arab/Muslim voters. You do not beat fascism by offering people the status quo.

FDR and the postwar UK government understood that the only real inoculation against fascism and authoritarian populism is to deliver significant, measurable and life-altering improvements in people’s material lives. We’ve spent 70 years willingly forgetting this.

Fox calling PA for Trump putting him at 267. At this point if he only picks up Alaska (3) it’s done.

This feels nothing like 2016. Because it’s also felt so probable, avoidable and inevitable for the better part of a year. My American friends & colleagues are worried, anxious. But none of them are shocked.

There’s a solid chance that DJT will be only the 2nd Republican to win the popular vote since 1988 (the other being Bush 43 in ‘04).

Trump is winning in a number of counties and states where voters have also backed: ✅ Abortion rights ✅ Raising the minimum wage So whatever happens, please ignore people who tell you that progressive parties need to shift to the right in order to win.

Years of relentless anti-migrant rhetoric from parliamentarians, pundits and traditional media. Hatred and hysteria have been egged on from the literal despatch box. But we're still living in that meme where the grown ups' response is "I think it's because of the internet".
