Does money win elections? Not in Ward 10. Chughtai won at a cost of $9.75 per vote.

Meanwhile Millard spent just over $42 per vote to lose heartily. (That’s looking like more per vote than Cuomo, who’s probably under $40!)

[Narrator: they lost 13 seats]

A Tale in Three Tweets:

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

fuck him up, socrates!!!

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody."

"We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

AOC: "This is about, do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And they assignment is to come together across difference no matter what."

Just to remind ppl that zohran campaigned as unapologetically pro-Palestine so stop saying it’s an untenable position

The GOP has destigmatized all the political no-nos. There can be no more gentlemen’s agreements.

I want to see Hegseth sent to The Hague. I want to see Stephen Miller’s wife investigated for, idk, wire fraud. Find something.

Ugh I work at 6 so my alarm goes off in 4.5 hours but I want to keep scrolling

Oh the video of that is better

Cuomo gave a fairly graceless concession speech, and Mamdani rips his skin off:

"My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo the best in private life. But let tonight be the last time I mention his name."

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

RESULT: Soren Stevenson is elected to the Minneapolis City Council in the Eighth Ward.

Stevenson lost an eye during a 2020 BLM protest after he was shot by police with a foam projectile.

Seized is a weird way to say retained the 1-seat majority that's been threatened by resignations and deaths, but it's still good news

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

Come onnnn man, clean sweep

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Bloomington MN city council races (nonpartisan), decent people beat the candidates backed by the very worst people

It's possible spending all your time mainlining an algorithmic feed of posts programmed by a drug-addled Nazi who is explicitly trying to influence election outcomes is a poor way to understand reality.

this is objectively hilarious

did he uh. try saying that out loud before he suggested it

A progressive might end up flipping Martietta?!?!?!??

once more 🙂‍↕️

There are more of us than there are of them.

Who is going to remind Alan Dershowitz of his promise
