I still don’t think it’s quite hit me what happened on Tuesday

Whole bunch of broccoli haired Hitler youth came into our government and disassembled agencies semi autonomously and stole our sensitive data and no doubt have retained it despite court orders mandating they destroy it. This is both a time bomb waiting to go off *and* pardon insurance.

Remember that the DOGE guys literally just showed up at federal buildings with zero authority or authorization and started demanding shit. It's not good for society or our government to let that kind of thing pass without consequence.

this is absolutely wild

Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total That race was over before the polls opened yesterday

The next push to protect trans rights needs to be: - Passing gender identity protections in state constitutions - Repealing anti-trans laws where we have the numbers - Calling in the Dems that got scared and flinched on sports and surgeries - Challenging the laws in the new left-leaning state courts

House minority leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is downplaying the potential to hold the Trump administration accountable following Democrats’ monumental win in the midterms, despite a large proportion of voters signaling that they believe there are grounds for impeaching Trump.

Jeffries Downplays Trump Accountability Push After Democrats’ Midterm Blowout

The potential Speaker of the House has brushed aside plans by Democrats to investigate the Trump administration.

Yesterday, voters made it very clear that they want a new generation of Democratic fighters. We need a leader in the Senate who is capable of leading that fight. It’s time for Senate Democrats to choose new leadership.

From textbook companies to curriculum design to standardized testing, from elementary school to university, the entire US education system follows Texas. Which is no longer controlled by the worst fucking people you have ever seen.

this is potentially pretty huge for everyone in america?

THIS JUST IN: Democrats have FLIPPED the Texas State Board of Education! This is a monumental win for Texas students, families, and the entire education community in our great state. Congratulations to our incredible candidates!

beyond Congress, go local with our 4 Bolts so far! a democracy triumph in Virginia boltsmag.org/virginia-pas... a *local* tsunami in Texas boltsmag.org/tarrant-coun... a win for immigrants in Maryland: boltsmag.org/voters-oust-... a rout vs gerrymandering in Missouri boltsmag.org/missourians-...

I'm just going to say this for now: I DON'T want prosecutions, I want REPARATIONS, which include *consequences* like being removed from office & losing power & opportunity to continue & repeat harm, but focus on REPAIR to people & communities harmed NOT fueling the systems that produce the harm.

Florida hasn’t seen a surge in Democratic voters the way it has this year since the second time former President Barack Obama was elected. Given how close the matchup between Moody and Nixon ended up, the energetic progressive insurgent is expected to try again. buff.ly/Q9WrdiO

Angie Nixon Will Run Again - The American Prospect

Florida’s incredibly close Senate race shows the power of a contender who built her campaign from the ground up.

There are no utopias, but every place is worth fighting for.

Americans are tired of being told their needs are unrealistic by politicians who have been bought by the wealthiest people in the country.

meanwhile the Republicans won in 2024 and kidnapped tens of thousands of people by pulling them through broken windows on camera, sending them to random foreign countries, and then shooting anyone who opposed point blank in the street. but sure, passing a war powers act might be "extreme"

it was truly wild to watch the corporate media disciplining the Dems in real time last night. as soon as they got to 2 senate seats, there was all kinds of serious "are you worried about going too far and alienating these new voters?" also capping for Schumer and Jeffries constantly

Nobody was talking about climate in this election, but climate won big last night in Texas. Why? Let me tell you about my one and only encounter with the new governor of Texas: A year or so ago, I was invited to speak at a backyard event in Austin for a local environmental group....

I want that grand ol party OBLITERATED

I don’t want Dems to find a way to move forward, or work together, or any of that. I want investigations, impeachments, and subpoenas. I want all these people to stand and to be held accountable for the harms they have caused in our community. I want justice.

hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-trans advertising being proven totally irrelevant- not positive, not negative, just a proper heat check that normal people simply don't care and it's lighting money on fire to try to politicize my identity- is so, so liberating

If Hinojosa beats Abbott that is extremely bad for Elon Musk in particular. Dude moved everything to Texas because he was certain it would forever be a safe haven for his corruption, white nationalism, and misogyny. Whoops!

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d ago

Trump hasn’t tweeted in over 2.5 hours. Musk hasn’t tweeted in over 5.5 hours.

It's so wonderful imagining the pain and misery and suffering of so many people who deserve it!

Molly Ivins and Ann Richards out there like the Force ghosts on Endor rn

HE FUCKING CONCEDED???

This right here. Stop throwing trans people under the bus, stop writing off the south, stop listening to the Democrat establishment. We can win by lifting everybody up, not leaving vulnerable people behind!

docvember@docseuss.bsky.social · 2d ago

ya'll now see that gavin newsom is not capable of meeting this moment? he was trying to befriend all the guys who lost tonight the winners are the ones who are going "we'll FUCK UP the republicans" that's what we want. we don't want a newsom. trans rights wins fights.

IM GONNA FROW UP

BREAKING: James Talarico just won his Texas Senate race. The Democrat focused on fighting corruption, his faith, and winning power for working people in Washington. He also overcame hundreds of millions being spent against him, including $150 million from Elon Musk alone.

If you’re going to have twin babies you pick out two names, yea, but I didn’t think about the moment when they come out where you have to arbitrarily just assign one to each. Ok I guess you’re Timmy and you’re Jimmy, hope that feels right to you guys

I also included a flyer for a festival celebrating the 50th anniversary of the slaying of Cosmodeus. For the print version, since it was going to be black and white, I decided to go all in and print it out and scan it for a good Xerox effect. Guardian will be there!
