just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

Virginia makes history with first Muslim woman elected to statewide office Trump’s travel ban inspired state Sen. Ghazala Hashmi to first run for office. Years later, she said fighting bigotry and the “chaos” of Trump’s second term is top of mind.

Hashmi said she first became motivated to run for office “by Trump’s travel ban on seven majority-Muslim nations. She said she wanted to prove that she and other members of her faith belong in the United States, despite the message sent by the administration’s policy.” 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

the voters have spoken and they love being trans and threatening to shoot republicans in the head.

Another often overlooked but important election.

Loudoun County Public Schools has been ground zero for targeting by the Trump administration over trans students, and chose to protect their students.

Pro-trans candidates Chandler and Svenson are winning, and anti-trans Munoz-Melendez is losing.

every victory speech is like “to those that did not vote for me just know i will work with you”

nah dawg, we are running lib shit like it’s the four verts offense. gays everywhere. trans folks on every high school field hockey team. get on board or get smoked 42-0 at halftime.

Dems winning in Virginia will directly lead to thousands regaining the right to vote.

Spanberger can reverse GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's reinstatement of a Jim Crow-era lifetime voting ban for felonies.

Dem lawmakers can also put a constitutional amendment on next year's ballot to permanently end it

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

man I'm so excited to be on the internet with 100k-500k of my favorite emotionally dysregulated neurodivergents as we wait for election results in places we have never visited and freak the fuck out!!!!!!!

GA PSC 2 Dem Alicia Johnson projected to win by Decision Desk

GA PSC 3 Dem Peter Hubbard projected to win by Decision Desk

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia.

That seems...significant.

SO much omg

A movie you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif.

It was bad enough when he fucked everything up after 2011, but mishandling Brunson was the beginning of the end. I just never imagined *this* end.

I’ll never forgive Cuban for the downfall

drake and ted cruz should never be allowed to attend a sporting event unless they are together and rooting for opposite teams and allowing that is just for science

Toronto, you will not taste victory until you sacrifice Drake

They better not go and shake that man’s hand while he’s kidnapping folks from the community that made them

George Springer is sad and therefore I am not 😌

This is why Gavin Newsom is a non-starter for me.

Sure, he's "a fighter" who's landed a few good punches on Trump, but that's not the same thing as a leader.

A real leader doesn't fight back against an authoritarian takeover by using the most vulnerable as his shield.

BOY I AM SUPER GLAD WE GAVE AWAY A GENERATIONAL TALENT FOR ANTHONY DAVIS

I would personally fund his LSU salary at this point

While this is arguably my circus, these are not at all my monkeys.

The Dodgers run onto the field after Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run during the 18th inning of Game 3 of the World Series.
