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

Land doesn’t vote. How it differs when we add population variable into visualization

among other things, and yes i realize how important it was nationally, last night was basically a straight up/down vote on whether the state of texas would continue to have a secular public education system and WE FUCKING WON

Now that Bluesky is the official social media app representing the popular will of the United States of America™️, what is our first cultural decree?

New Mexico's Governor-Elect Deb Haaland ate this up.

There is no Senator Talarico without Beto kicking that door in repeatedly and refusing to die. Shoutout to him.

Dan Patrick says if Texans want legal marijuana, vote him out

Come January Ted Cruz will be the only Republican to hold statewide office in Texas.

Every. Single. County. Overall, a 20.78 point shift from 2024. State-wide race margins of 500K to 1.1M votes. A Blue Texas in my lifetime.

Ken Paxton ran for national office once and every Texas statewide office flipped Democratic. Insane.

Woke up in a blue state.

As I wake up, it is now clear that SCOTX has gone from 9-0 Republican to 5-4 Republican. The 15th Court of Appeals, a court created to channel appeals to a Republican court, is now 3 democrats. We have the first female chief justice in Texas history. It's as shocking as Hinojosa.

not only was this the first truly decisive election in 15 years, not only was it the first real repudiation the MAGA Republican Party has experienced, but it is an earthquake in the South. with investment — and with laws protecting the right to vote — the whole region could be blue.

watching Talarico immediately threaten Musk

Oh my god the Texas state librarian is retiring and now Abbott doesn't pick her replacement, Hinojosa does

"we just took back texas. we just proved that all the money in the world is no match for the people of texas. we just showed that a politics of division is no match for a politics of love. we just sent a message to every billionaire—trillionaire—megadonor—that in texas, power belongs to the people."

still can’t believe it. texas, man.

"the days of treating our public schools like they're for sale are over" - our new governor, gina hinojosa 🙌🙌🙌🙌

price is right style “come on down” but you’re being subpoenaed by congress

America very much remains worth fighting for.

this makes me SO happy, fuck off forever Huffines

Texas comptroller Sarah Eckhardt wins Huffines concedes

I have lived in Texas my whole life and I love this state with everything I have. Thank you thank you everyone who worked so hard for this for so many years when so many people thought it wasn't possible. Texas forever. This place is my heart.

okay so while we're all up and chatting: DC statehood DC statehood DC statehood DC statehood DC statehood DC statehood DC statehood
