So, I wake up from a nap and check my inbox, and
@LibbityBoo
is like “HILLARY IS TALKING TO YOU!”
And then I see my mentions.
And then I see this.
I. SCREAMED. And then I called my mom and SCREAMED, called my brother and SCREAMED, and then I sent a screenshot to my guy.

So, I picked my wedding date based on the phases of the moon—we were still under the light of April’s full moon because it had only just started to wane the day before.

Let me tell y’all something.
The night Kamala wins, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will get dressed in her *finest* caftan, pour herself a glass of the *best* wine she and Bill have in their cellar, put on the cast recording of Suffs, and vibe out through January 20th.
If Harris wins, which I think she will, no one would be happier than Hillary Clinton. People assuming she'd be "big mad" really don't understand her, or women generally.

This whole entire thread. Just because y’all weren’t paying attention doesn’t mean Hillary wasn’t sounding the alarm CONSTANTLY.
We were told she was being dramatic.
We were told she was making up wild stories for votes.
Guess who was right? About ALL of it?
Hillary ran down who Trump was and was going to do, even to his face at the debate. Like a check list. And said it continuously.
People weren't actually paying attention to what Clinton was saying bc they assumed Trump couldn't win so it was ok to talk about how much they didn't
