Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it
Even more good news!!!
Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

this is absolutely true and this should not strike fear, it should strike righteous fucking fury in you, are you going to let them break you, or are you going to make them break upon us?
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know
He’s being a little piss baby, but he’s such a hilarious little piss baby. 11/10
hey dude you good over there?
Beautiful way to feature the free school lunch tax increase measure on the ballot in Colorado. It passed, because of course it did. Just look at this!
This is how it looked on the ballot.
Clear and easy to understand.
Yay, more good news!
Colorado had some wins tonight, including in my dumb county (Lauren Bobert’s district) we had a vote for the school district board of education. 4 spots up for grabs. 8 people running— 4 progressives and 4 MAGA ban books, anti-trans, dog whistlers.

All 4 progressives took the win.
Good thread here. I didn’t really know about this deep history
1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.

The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵
This is unacceptable @liberalca.bsky.social
Pre-Trudeau, First Nations communities suffered under a 2% annual funding increase cap. That cap didn't keep pace with population growth. Under Carney's Liberals, it's not just a 2% increase cap - it's a ZERO percent cap, a freeze. Literally worse than Harper. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Not cool
Look at this, every year infrastructure spending for non-Native communities goes up, and at the same time spending for First Nations infrastructure goes down.
Small spoon for ice cream, big spoon for cereal/soup
I’ll trade for your big forks because my son flat out refuses to use our smaller forks
How about clean water for all of our First Nations communities?
Carney is 100% a classic Nova Scotian Conservative.

I told me 14 yr old who was out with her friends that I wanted her to message me if she changed location and she said “why? Just track my phone?”. I was literally giving her the option of NOT having her mom track her, and she couldn’t understand why she’d care

Except this time he loved it. At least causing it.
I *literally* hear this post in my head every time someone's death is announced, and I'm so thankful.
[hearing that someone has died]
oh no that guy hated dying
