My friend John Lewis is surely smiling down on his beloved Georgia this morning, as people across the state carried forward the baton that he and so many others passed down to them. pic.twitter.com/CgVEP4Ilt8

While today’s terrible display of terror and meanness shakes us, let’s remember: @ossoff, Jewish son of an immigrant & @ReverendWarnock, first Black Senator from Georgia, will join a Catholic POTUS & the first woman, Black + Indian VP in our nation’s capital. God bless America.

As a Congressperson, how do you walk back into the Capitol and resume work knowing that the police willingly let domestic terrorists into your workplace? Like…. moved the barricades out of the way and took selfies once they were inside?

Words I will use on TV tonight:

Coup
Insurrection
Treason
Sedition
Lies
Terrorists

I am hearing from fellow journalists who are being told not to use these words. Resists attempts to censor your language. Democracy depends on bearing witness & holding power to account.

This feels wild to say but….

We're not talking about the bombs enough. At least three were found and disarmed yesterday.

There is a LOT going on. But it feels like those explosive devices should be a bigger story.

With new votes joining the tally, we are on a strong path. But even while we wait for more, let’s celebrate the extraordinary organizers, volunteers, canvassers & tireless groups that haven’t stopped going since Nov. Across our state, we roared. A few miles to go…but well done!

Dear white women praising Stacey Abrams, Okay now find the black women in your sphere, in your office, in your PTA and listen to them too. Stacey would want you to, and she wouldn't have to work so damn hard if we had already done this.

Now do you understand why Republicans suppress Black votes? I hereby declare that the Southern states are not red. They are suppressed.

A Black man and a Jew winning election to the US Senate in the deep south is evocative of the old civil rights alliance in a way I find … emotionally resonant.

The Voting Rights Act was only signed 55 years ago. Tonight I'm thinking about all the Black folks in Georgia who have lived on both sides of it. Who voted in this election and who remember a time when they wouldn't have been able to. It wasn't that long ago. Not at all.
— Clint Smith (@ClintSmithIII) January 6, 2021

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Reverend Raphael Warnock was polling at 9% when the Atlanta Dream and WNBA players threw their full support behind him and elevated his national profile. Now he’s Georgia’s first black Senator.

Rev. Warnock was Congressman John Lewis's pastor. Ossoff was Lewis's intern. And somewhere, somehow both near and far, I have to think that Rep. Lewis is saying, "Well done."

Your Vote. Your Power. Your Voice.

Your vote is your voice. It’s your power. And right now, from the President of the United States on down, we’re seeing and hearing just how desperate some are to take that power away. They want us to believe that their pride is more important than our democracy.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

And this is just unconscionable at a time when a staggering number of Americans are dying every day from a virus that was downplayed for far too long. It’s unconscionable to focus on overturning an election rather than helping struggling families or distributing a vaccine.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

This is why we can’t just vote for President and think that our job is done.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

Tomorrow’s runoffs in Georgia will decide whether the U.S. Senate is run by those who’ve shown their willingness to tear down our democracy—or whether it’ll be run by those who will actually get to work on the monumental challenges before us.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

These runoffs will decide whether President-Elect Biden has a Senate that will work with him rather than just obstruct him at every turn.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

So if Georgians elect @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff, we’ll take another step toward cleaning up the mess of the past four years. And we’ll send a message to any politician who puts themselves and their ambition above our system of self-government.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

If you live in Georgia, make sure you vote for @ReverendWarnock and @Ossoff in tomorrow’s U.S. Senate runoffs—and make sure everybody you know does the same. If you’ve already received a mail-in ballot, take it to a drop-box or vote in person at your polling place tomorrow.
— Michelle Obama (@MichelleObama) January 4, 2021

Because in America, everyone’s voice matters. And that’s still the truth, no matter what some folks want you to believe.

Georgia, it’s not too late to join the more than two million people who’ve voted early in the runoff election for the U.S. Senate.
