Amen to all of this, but especially the bragging part. The New Deal was constantly advertising itself and the Great Society too. Take a lesson from them -- you can't just do good things and expect voters to notice. You've got to brag about what you've done. A lot.

I suspect the real place for Democrats to solidify this win will be at the state and local level. That's where Ds have the chance of IMMEDIATELY making change and helping people in their everyday lives. Push your local pols to Mamdanify the shit out of the entire country, y'all. And BRAG about it.

Jess Rivera, a lesbian U.S. Marine Corps veteran and from Wilson, North Carolina, defeated five-term incumbent Buck Newton. When she takes office in, she will make history as the first Latina to serve in the NC Senate and the first out LGBTQ+ member elected to the NC Senate from District 4

No more political games with your health care. Reverse the health care cuts.

Jon Stewart: "Remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics, it is a bullshit system... They're already like 'Chuck Schumer deserves a lot of credit for putting together this--' Chuck Schumer fought tooth-and-nail against half of these fucking people."

Democratic Congressman-elect Richard Ojeda lost his father to Parkinson’s this morning, just hours after telling him he’d won his election. A father got to see his son’s dream come true before saying goodbye. Rest easy, sir. He made you proud, and your love will carry him forward. ❤️

After everything we’ve been through these past two years, too many voters STILL didn’t understand the assignment. What will it take?!

🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, this is a gift for Democrats. Nothing but upside.

Make him do it. Veto a minimum wage bill. An anti-corruption bill. An end the war bill. A stop ICE bill. A save medicaid bill. A lower prices bill. Make him veto everything people want. Create the contrast, electoralize it, win in '28, and then make it all law in '29. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

🎉 @nowthisimpact shining a light on CLARKSVILLE’s Allie Phillips @allie4tn , who just ran for the state house and WON after being forced to flee Tennessee to NYC for abortion care 💪🏽 due to the draconian Republican abortion ban here. #ForcedBirthState

Democrats won this election by claiming we are on the side of working people, and working people are counting on us to deliver.

I need everyone to remember this, and tell everyone you know. Trump and Republicans passed massive Medicaid cuts in their “Big Beautiful Bill,” with the most major cuts delayed until AFTER the midterms. A world of hurt is coming. Don’t blame Dems.

Take a bow, prophet 🫡

Elon is going down like the Titanic. We put together a highlight reel in memory of the biggest flop in automotive history. #wankpanzer #Cybertruck #cyberstuck #fail

Don’t fuck with the Bay Area. Period. Activists systematically exposed, neutralized, and flattened local ICE operations, disabling their fleet and spray-painting their undercover vehicles so the entire community knows exactly who they are and where they stand.

Colom: "Our junior senator, she needs to do the right thing. If she thinks that she has a path to victory, she needs to get in front of a TV, get in front of the voters, & explain how she has a path to victory. Now, she won't do that because she can't win, and it's time to look out for the voters."

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans. (Published July 2025)

Miscarriage Is Increasingly Dangerous for Women in Texas, Our Analysis Shows. Here’s How We Did It.

Using seven years of hospital discharge data, we found that the number of blood transfusions during emergency room visits for first-trimester miscarriage shot up by 54% since Texas banned abortion.

After Governor Abbott's Defeat, Houston's Mayor Changes Course on ICE Mayor John Whitmire has instructed Houston police to stop notifying immigration goons when they encounter someone without legal status during routine street All of them know whats coming.

“It is insane to think holding people accountable for robbing 🇺🇸, killing Americans in the street, running a sex trafficking ring is ‘GETTING EVEN’ — that’s justice, motherf*cker… @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries have lower approval ratings than Trump. Please convince someone else to run.”

This sounds like another one of Trump’s grifts. A $950 MILLION presidential library, millions pouring in from corporations, his family running the foundation, and taxpayer-owned land handed over for a project that could eventually become a luxury hotel.

The corporate media wants you to believe that Texas turned blue thanks to moderate candidates pivoting to the center. Take it from someone who lives there: that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Yes, Stephen Miller's cruelty is bad enough on its own. It's beyond the pale. But he's also cashing in on his own cruelty. Do not lose sight of the corruption and moral rot of this regime. www.commondreams.org/news/stephen...
