1st pic: my mom at R of family in Taiwan, where her dad was a general & thoracic surgeon at National Taiwan University & military 🏥 & her mom was an OB-GYN & PCP. Mom used to deliver meds to patients. Today I got to go to @NTU_TW as a Visiting Professor in Surgery! 🙏🥰
Was it racism? Was it sexism? The people voted and they voted for a liar, cheat, criminal, and someone who does not care about them. They voted against their own self interest. Fifty percent of this country just voted against our Democracy. I have disdain for that. I am today not proud to be an American. Today, I will struggle to stand for our anthem. I love America, but I am disgusted by those who could vote for this. I will move on and live my life, away from social media and the reality of this outcome. I feel sorry for those who voted for this outcome and actually thought this was going to work out well for them.
Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses: “It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.” nytimes.com/live/2024/11/0…
If you are in line before the polls close, stay in line. It is your right to make your voice heard. If you have any trouble casting your ballot, call our Voter Assistance Hotline: 833-336-8683.
if you’re IN line to vote, STAY IN LINE, and if you’re ON line to vote you’re from New York City baby best city in the world
Great piece on the stakes for caregivers, by @wendybutton: "The care we provide our loved ones isn’t valued in this country even though we all need it at the beginning of our lives, many of us need it throughout, and most of us will need it again at the end. It’s a need that affects everyone, whether they are Democratic, Republican, independent, or anything else." thebulwark.com/p/stakes-for-c…
Everyone should watch this. VOTE!
