In 2023, I interviewed the parents who organized this effort to oust Moms for Liberty. If you want to know more — and maybe learn from them! — check it out.

Congrats to them for getting rid of them all!

And this is what I heard @mikiesherrill.bsky.social say:
We have "to try to address the things that are scaring people, to try to make your life a little bit better, to try to just bring some rationality and sanity to a world that right now isn’t making a lot of sense.”

“We want to turn the page past the divisiveness, the angriness, and just focus on brass tacks, good policy, and governance"
That was how @abigailspanberger.com began her campaign. From last year:

Trump, surrounded by sycophants, lickspittles and toadies who praise and worship him in his gilded palace, can’t imagine why his subjects aren’t eager to trade their constitutional republic and rights for his will, since he knows more than anyone else about everything.

Good night, everyone.

Great work today. Sleep well, for tomorrow the 2026 election begins.

Every Democratic candidate tonight, and every one running in 2026 has a secret weapon on their side:

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.

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this.
But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!
Issue 1 Jefferson CO library, FOR 52.18% AGAINST 47.82%.

LOCAL ELECTION RESULT:

Let me congratulate @zysaidso.bsky.social for her election to the Charlottesville School Board.

For those wondering: Zyahna Bryant was a student organizer who led the successful fight in removing two confederate statues from downtown Charlottesville.

If you are a Hopkins fan, like me, this is a good article. I haven't yet purchased his memoir.

The actor recalls his life, from provincial Wales to Hollywood, in stop-start rhythms with curt, unflinching reckonings.
