It's the first presidential election in post-Roe America, and abortion is definitely a top issue. "I don't think it's poll-able," says @Maddow. “I don’t think people know how viscerally & gutturally this is affecting people’s understanding of what’s at stake here." #Velshi

As election day draws nearer, Donald Trump’s violent rhetoric is escalating. “Donald and his running mate are particularly comfortable engaging in the kinds of stochastic terrorism that will get innocent people killed,” says Mary L Trump. “It’s all bad.” #Velshi

Trump doesn’t have unlimited power, says Laurence Tribe (Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️), and the Constitution isn’t just a “piece of prose.” “We are about to see all of the institutions activated in a way that we haven’t had to see before.” #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

“The attack on books is going to get worse,” admits Maulik Pancholy, “but we have the power of community, the power of people standing up for our most vulnerable.” #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

"It's natural to be distressed or upset, but what you shouldn't be is anxious or lonely, because that's the state which makes authoritarianism possible," says Timothy Snyder. "[Trump] can't do it on his own. He can't do it without us." #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

To be politically engaged is to not only risk losing, but to be prepared and willing to lose. The outcome of this election does not mean the end of the fight. Today's setbacks are tomorrow's comebacks. And the comeback is our work now. #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

"History isn’t necessarily comforting, but it should be inspirational," says historian Jon Meacham of moving past post-election worries. "There was never a 'once upon time' in American history, and there’s never going to be a 'happily ever after.'" #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

Women have held the highest seats of power - via succession or election - throughout history and across the globe. But not in the United States. #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

Why can’t we elect a woman president in the U.S. when many other countries have? Well... “other countries have invested a lot more in closing some of these gender gaps," says Jennifer Piscopo, on with @mollyjongfast. It creates “normalization." #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

For some, Kamala Harris' loss was a disappointment. For many others, what was more crushing was Donald Trump's victory. It's a setback and a reminder that America isn't as equal and just as we wish... but it doesn't mean it can't be. #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

The outlook of another 4 years under Donald Trump is bleak. "It can get much worse and it probably will," says Harvard Prof. Imani Perry. But she urges people to stay steady. "We have to live according to our ethics as opposed to our fears." #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

“Democratic AGs are going on offense,” says AG William Tong. State Attorneys General nationwide are forming a legal front against a second Trump term. “We won’t be cowed,” says AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes. “We stand ready to file those lawsuits.” #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…

For marginalized groups, the threat of a second Trump administration is "immediate" and "unsettling." There's no easy solutions to the problems the country faces, but "we can't capitulate to it," says Eddie S. Glaude Jr.. #Velshi msnbc.com/ali-velshi/wat…
