I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. Itβs a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. Weβve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

fwiw, i donβt personally think that either doomerism OR toxic positivity is what this moment calls for; i think what we actually need to be collectively looking towards is a secret third thing (hopepunk)
itβs cool and important to give a shit, and to look for ways to help each other.

"Think about the message it sends to children of LGBTQ+ parents... It tells them that LGBTQ+ families... are so terrible that their peers canβt even be exposed to a book about them. That is a violently stigmatizing message, and itβs one the Supreme Court just enshrined into the First Amendment."

Dems on the national and state level should look no further than Zohran Mamdani/Brad Lander for what the party can be, the type of candidates to run, and how to run progressive campaigns that are popular with demographics they claim to struggle to reach. Regressive, centrist politics arenβt the way.

Utah study on trans youth care extremely inconvenient for politicians who ordered it
The state's ban on gender-affirming pediatric care "cannot be justified" by science, a two-year review concluded.
More than two years ago, Utah Republicans commissioned a study on gender-affirming care for youth. It just came back, and the conclusion is unambiguous: full recommendation in support of gender-affirming care.

βHow would judges decide when removing a book is forbidden?β Hereβs a wild thought. Maybe judges shouldnβt be the ones deciding that. Too bad there isnβt a group of professionals with advanced degrees in information and collection management who could make those decisions.
