🗳️ Elections in the US this week saw historic voter turnout.

In New York, voter turnout reached record levels, with the largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years. In Maine, voters rejected a ballot measure that would make it harder to vote.

London’s Mayor Says Mamdani’s Victory Mirrors His Own

London mayor Sadiq Khan stayed up on Tuesday night to watch the election results from New York

I interviewed him about what lessons the international left should take from Zohran Mamdani's victory, and why he says the right's attempts "to scare people" failed www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/n...

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.

She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

It’s not a blue wave, or a blue tsunami. It was a blue tectonic shift. Blue lava is currently angrily bubbling up in lava flues and soon a long dormant volcano will erupt into a BLUE PYROCLASTIC FLOW… a super heated wave of Blue #progressive voter fury.

It felt good to wake up in America today.

This is DEPRAVED

Dramatic winter waves are a sight to behold but their power is no joke, as evident by this video by @seasidesurf🌊

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren Republicans are forcing people to drive further, wait longer, and pay more to get health care.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are forcing Americans to drive further, wait longer, and pay more to get health care.

In the richest country in the world — that's just wrong.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

The US president was ordered by the courts to use designated funds to FEED qualified citizens and he is FIGHTING TO KEEP THEM HUNGRY

Spanberger will be the first female governor, following 74 men…

Mamdani was the first Muslim mayor after 111 mayors.

Ghazala Hashmi, Virginia’s lieutenant governor-elect, is the first Muslim woman elected to statewide office anywhere in America.

Good times.

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history.

Now let’s get to work.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.

Now think about how you feel after last night's election.

You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.

You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.

Remember this.

If Democrats want to win in 2026, remove Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries and put AOC or Jasmine Crockett and Elizabeth Warren. People have lost faith in the leadership.

Blowout.

Maybe the GOP should reopen govt now

Release the files you dumb fuck

Kidnapping brown people-we don’t like it.
Losing our healthcare-we don’t like it.
Starving children-we don’t like it.
Losing our jobs-we don’t like it.
Taxing us with tariffs-we don’t like it.
Losing our small business-we don’t like it.
CAN YOU HEAR US NOW, GOP?

Women did well yesterday.

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

ICE is not terrorizing gang members, they’re terrorizing community members.

🚨Zohran Mamdani has won the mayor’s race for New York City.

He becomes the first Muslim and first South Asian to serve as mayor of New York City.

The desperation outlined in the Project 2025 manifesto show us how close we are to the new world. They’re like: “THIS IS THE LAST POSSIBLE CHANCE WE WILL EVER HAVE OF MAKING A FASCIST, CHRISTIAN NATION!” “IF WE DON’T DO IT NOW, WE WON’T EVER GET THE CHANCE AGAIN!”
No, you wont. WE WON’T LET YOU. 🌊
