I've been on a trip down memory lane... The world has changed, but oh, I remember those days. Have been listening to this one on repeat for days:

Watch on YouTube

("But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.")

Watch on YouTube

Good luck America. ♥ Goodness knows we could use some hope over here...

ETA:

If you’re in a 500-person conga line screaming in victory with honking traffic, STAY IN LINE

Round-up from Channel 4. Money quote: "Now, even after Obama was elected for the first time, in 2008, you just didn't see crowds like this. This feels more like the end of a regime than the end of a collectively elected government. The sense of collective relief here is quite extraordinary."

ALSO THIS BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY.

History will record that this was Donald Trump’s last tweet before he lost the 2020 presidential election #Election2020 https://t.co/Wr5rIbMRyh

ETA2: Damn. This is powerful.

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.#PresidentBiden#VotersDecided pic.twitter.com/h8YgZK4nmk

I was reading an article on dailykos, earlier today, that was listing off a bunch congratulations from various world leaders that had been posted on twitter- along with them saying they look forward to working with 46 & co. <3 I'm pretty sure I'm still mentally crying in relief.

(the only congrats tweet i didn't care to see was boris johnson's.)

The snippet I saw said something about working together to tackle climate change, which tbh is as a pretty good outcome.
