Democrats are projected to flip about 12 seats in the Virginia House of delegates. That is a massive upset for fascists and great news for democracy.

Turns out that voters don't like the party that invades them, starves them, and arrests them.

People are unable to afford food, and that is really upsetting. We, as caring citizens, are doing what we can to help. I can't help dwelling on our tax dollars footing the bills for the orange POS to live in the lap of luxury, while he's responsible for the suffering of millions.

NEW: Maine voters rejected a sweeping GOP anti-voting ballot measure that would have created a new photo ID requirement for voting, eliminated programs that expanded access to absentee ballots, ended the state’s permanent absentee voter list and more.

Letting people starve is a SICK, TWISTED bargaining chip.

SNAP should not be held hostage and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Funds are available, but the administration is defying a court order by halting SNAP. It’s time to restart SNAP benefits NOW!

More people voted in New York City’s election this year than they have in 50 years.

That’s a win for democracy, and a testament to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's inspiring campaign.

Congratulations to the next mayor of the greatest city in the world. πŸ—½

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

17 years ago today, my friends and I were watching as Obama got elected, sobbing and chain-smoking cigarettes, waxing poetic about the first Black president.

In hindsight, it is a privilege to have believed in something so completely. I’ll never fault the person I was who believed in hope & change.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by
