We really need ODOT to take over the Mt Hood Express, and turn it into a one seat ride out of Portland.

Over twice the time to get to Govy by bus then by car is too much!

“Donald Trump and his cronies can fuck all the way off.”

Vive La Résistance Waves can be blue after all.

Once again, it's okay to feel hopeful for a little bit, anyway

Bill Kristol @BillKristol My inner social democrat enjoyed Mamdani quoting Eugene Debs last night. I recall my even-more-suppressed inner social democrat being pleased in 1990 when Debs was inducted during the first Bush administration into the Labor Department's Hall of Honor.

i'm still seeing people say things like "they don't intend to win elections", and, like, look at last night's results. those are not outcomes you can reject through slim efforts at trickery, those are overwhelming defeats that can't be ignored. stop letting your doom brain do their work.

Wait this is so cool. I can't believe I hasn't heard of them before

the thing about the Wide Awakes is not only is it a cool historical reference, but colloquially it's also resonant with, and a natural progression from, being woke

Never mind my historical puns, this is the one right here:

Need this tbh

THEY USED TO CALL US WOKE

NOW THEY CAN CALL US WIDE AWAKES

if i were running for office i would absolutely call my volunteers “the wide awakes,” i would hand out wide awake pins and stickers and hats for people to wear and campaign events would have wide awake banners

it's time for transgender for everybody

Woke 2: Shermans Second March

the orange man is bad and it's good and funny when bad things happen to him

WE SHALL BREAK THEM UPON OUR IRONS AND POUND THEM UNTIL THEY ARE NOTHING BUT DUST

meanwhile the Democratic Party is just going "obviously trans rights are human rights, why are you being so weird about this" and crushing the transphobes from school board up to the gubernatorial races.

THIS IS HOW WE WIN.

yes I am a Spanberger-Mamdani democrat and we are the future

you know what cures a lot of intracoalition friction, is winning

I like that Dark Woke has a patriotism rooted in the Civil War. We need this.

WE BUILD THE BLUE WALL TEN FEET TALLER

And btw, election night being this x10 next year is why all the shit about Trump trying to retroactively cancel the elections or refuse to seat Dems etc is just going to implode immediately. People are going to *watch live* as Dems win everything overwhelmingly, and the politics shift *instantly*

The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

Bluesky rn

Dick Cheney croaks and then this happens? lmfao maybe we should do this more often

Now this is not We're So Back. It is not even We're Back. But it is, perhaps, the end of It's So Over.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"

What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?
