Friendly reminder from your local MD: please fill out/SIGN your durable power of attorney forms to designate someone to make decisions for you. I don’t care if you’re 20, 60 or 80. Everybody needs one. Save your family the stress later and just do it now and put it in a safe place.
K thanks bye

Democrats just ran the table, winning the marquee races -- NJ and VA sweeps, NYC mayor, CA prop, PA Supreme Court -- and lower-profile races in red and purple states across the nation.

If the media you're reading or watching paints this as anything but a massive win, stop reading or watching them.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Alright Libs, listen the fuck up. Zohran just gave you the path to victory. "But NYC isn't the same as the whole country" SHUT THE FUCK UP! Zohran paved the way. All you have to do is walk it. Stop moving to the right, and campaign on working for the working class.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

First Asian American mayor of Cincinnati!

Lots of firsts tonight.

First Muslim woman as Lt. Gov. of VA

First woman Governor of VA

People are voting for the America they want.

They’re voting against what they DON’T want.

Take heart!

Thinking again about Melissa Hortman's assassination in the summer. This article from last week talks about how she fought to have Muslim women's voices taken seriously by her colleagues. She was so generous with her time and energy and compassion.

Remembering Representative Melissa Hortman

Former senator Patricia Torres Ray pointed out: “There was one specific thing that resonated with a lot of people about Melissa, and that was her ability to elevate women and to give women of color th...

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Teen Vogue has shown that you can do courageous, accountability political journalism *and* get huge engagement while doing so. And they've just decided to throw that all away. This is an unbelievably grim day for journalism.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.
