I’m gonna double down on caring for people & loving them & supporting them. That “love trumps hate” line doesn’t have to die. Keep it going.

As I was leaving hotel, a Muslim woman was also checking out. We looked at each other in lobby, both started crying, overcome with grief.

If you’re American and voted for Trump, unfriend me. We have nothing important in common.

People will be lost and afraid. Protect each other. Talk to those who need it. Help who you can. Be better people because of this.

Feeling very lucky that my entire 9-5 life revolves around escapist fantasy simulations that let me forget about real life. #ElectionNight

Fuck why couldn’t Mark Cuban, Zuckerberg or Gabe Newell run for President? Now we stuck with diet-Mussolini for four years.
what a bunch of cry baby bitch’s, grow up…. Boohoo, a useless nearly dead criminal bitch is not are president… NO, just a man who knows how to actually get things done and was NEVER called a racist until the liberal retards pulled it from their hypercritical safeplace assholes. He won cry your useless liberal tears, go pet a dog in your safeplace and shut the fuck up.
Fuck that fascist pig, he is not my president. This is all that sugar tits fault, had they not sabotage Bernie than we would not have this problem. Fucking feminist thinking only a vagina is the end all requirements for a job!
You have doomed us all by making Trump #POTUS! You are all racist sexist who want black people to suffer. We will not suffer or allow you to oppresses us any more! #NotMyPresident
