Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: β€˜And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

NYTimes politics desk: β€œTrump suggests bold new view of democracy: what if you could vote for only one party? Some Democratic experts are unsure, but other countries have experimented with this before, to mixed success.”

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

so where are the op-eds about republican overreach today? where’s the commentary about donald trumps war against american citizens or his terror campaign targeting brown people? where’s the pearl clutching over the conservative social media bubble reliant on nazi propagandists?

These elections really should be easy Republican wins since Trump said his approval ratings are at record highs, prices are down, he’s ended 29 wars, there is no inflation, nobody likes Democrats, and everything is better than it has ever been before.

I’m sure as the American president Trump will assure the nation that we had free and fair elections today and will demonstrate class and grace by acknowledging and congratulating the winners like the true man of character that he is.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division.

That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today.

Earlier this year I came across this bumper sticker.

I spent some time spelunking in the footnotes of the Oregon National Guard litigation and came to the horrible conclusion that we're watching the record decay in real time under the weight of a right-wing influencer circus www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

If the democratic (small 'd') opposition ever returns to power in the U.S., a huge task awaits: rebuilding the institutions and laws. It cannot be that a House Speaker shuts down the people’s house indefinitely or refuses to swear in the duly elected representatives. #RuleOfLaw

Just a reminder that both Elon Musk and Melania Trump are immigrants to the United States who illegally worked in violation of the terms of their visas.

β€œDick Cheney Has Died. The War Criminal in His Own Words”

10 quotes worth remembering, and that’ll be glossed over in MSM obits, from a former vice president who pushed for a murderous invasion of Iraq, lied about the WMD threat, and defended torture.
