It now appears certain that the Democrats will control both the House and the Senate for the next two years. Congratulations. I’d like to offer you one voter’s perspective on the task ahead.

Now is the time to start holding the traitors, thieves and toadies in the Republican party to account. That is what you were elected to do, and that is what I expect you to do. The task will be difficult, and I do not expect immediate results, especially with a traitor as President. But it is the task where you should be focusing all your energies.

I do not want to hear one single word about “working across the aisle” or “national healing” or “putting things behind us.” Nothing is more important than attempting to preserve our democracy and holding those responsible for the damage of the Trump era accountable.

There are only four words I want to hear from you. They’re alliterative, so they should be easy to rememer:

• Investigate
• Indict
• Impeach
• Imprison

I am aware that in our system you do not hold all the power. But you certainly hold enough power to make substantial progress on this, your only job. If you are unable or unwilling to do so, then in the next election I will be voting for candidates who can and will.

Thank you for your coming hard work.

I do hope the Democrats kick the shit out of Republicans tonight. We need a big enough win that the inevitable lawsuits and illegal executive orders and Mike Johnson toadying and bootlicking can’t overturn the results.

Election day in Eugene.

Updated our store sidewalk sign for today

Well that’s depressing: See how your pay compares to the CEOs of the top US companies

If I had any money left to invest, I’d put it into guillotine companies.

Feeling cautiously hopeful about the voters’ will this morning, and more than a little scared of what the Trump administration will do to attempt to circumvent that will.
