Breaking: HRC-endorsed candidate Abigail Spanberger wins Virginia gubernatorial race. HRC logo and image of Abigail Spanberger.

Virginia is for lovers, and love ALWAYS wins.

@abigailspanberger.com — Virginia’s next pro-equality governor — is speaking.

The next Governor of Virginia! 🏳️‍⚧️

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

it also ensures that we will pass the equality act, the for the people act, and more when dems/libs have a trifecta.

@jvl.bsky.social needs some help folks.

The millions of children Putin has kidnapped and taken into Russia?

ari, how times have you committed vehicular manslaughter?

Inside the Improbable, Audacious and (So Far) Unstoppable Rise of Zohran Mamdani

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

So we want the Democratic Party to defend rights that they can’t defend because they don’t have institutional power to defend said rights? Like you hear yourself right.

If we don’t have a large enough Senate majority, you can’t do anything.

Well, and apologies, he's not saying much of anything.

I cannot stress this enough: THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FUCKING STATES NEEDS TO KNOW THINGS

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

And while I found Ezra's initial reaction to Kirk's assassination a tad overzealous, it is important that we have these conversations and wrestle with the world in front of us as it is and not as we wish it were.

What is the other option? War? Perpetual violence?

I guess I don't find this critique to be compelling because you aren't presenting an alternative to learning to live together. In this moment, it is vital that we start listening to and talking with, not at, one another.

Last month, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis and other CDC experts resigned amidst RFK Jr.’s anti-vax, anti-science, and anti-public health actions.

Now, Dr. Demetre shares advice for how we can stay healthy and fight back.

He used his "christian motivational speeches" as a cover for his bigotry, racism, and hatred. And far too many christians either didn't care, couldn't tell, or agreed with him.

Forgive me if I don't need to listen to his christian motivational speeches to understand who Charlie Kirk was.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden’s execution. But he called for it in the right way.

oh so now it's a crime to have friends? and write them little poems? wow. you people just hate male friendship. this is why there's a male loneliness epidemic

The next Democratic president should declare that the National Emergencies Act and Article II of the Constitution allow him to:

•admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states
•abolish ICE
•grant citizenship to any immigrant
•disband the 5th Circuit
•expand the Supreme Court

Seriously: Why the hell not?

BREAKING: Sen. Warnock gets RFK Jr. to admit that he demanded that then-CDC Director Monarez fire CDC officials before her firing.

This is a Republican member of Congress giving a press conference in front of signs that say "Trump = Traitor" and "Release the Epstein Files #Pedo47."

Remarkable stuff.

they yearn for the days of AIDS

He Plagiarized and Promoted Falsehoods. The White House Embraces Him.

The Trump administration used Benny Johnson's claims that his house was "burned to the ground" and that "people were murdered in my front yard" to justify its federal takeover of DC.

@kenbensinger.bsky.social found out that Johnson made it all up.

one thing i've taken away from surveys asking the public to evaluate trump's most authoritarian moves is that the ordinary americans have a much clearer sense of what's happening than most professional political observers

MS NOW

well its a great thing that Alejandra Caraballo has absolutely zero influence over actual politics.

i know who should run to replace her....

just saw this beauty on the comment section of a Newsweek article... the world is beautiful.

1/ Sarah McBride has been a constant target as the only trans member of Congress. Now critics are piling on over her first bill—a bipartisan reform that passed the House unanimously, with support from both progressives and conservatives. So let's talk about it. 🧵
