The fact that Democrats won both elections yesterday for the Georgia Public Service Commission is remarkable enough (no Democrat had won a non-federal statewide race in GA since 2006).

But both won by a margin of 63% to 37%. In Georgia.

Underrated results for Dems. One of the first political goals to make inroads in states like MS is to break supermajorities, which Republicans have held since 2011. Now it forces them to have to work with Dems for appropriations, constitutional amendments, overriding vetoes, etc. This matters a lot.

whoever chose the colours for this graph needs to be arrested immediately

BIG result, folks:

Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was ground zero for the conservative takeover of school boards & anti-LGBTQ policies in 2021, on the Central Bucks and Pennridge boards.

Dems flipped both boards back in 2023.

Tonight, Dems have ousted *all* Republicans from both school boards.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

He's woke, and he's fucking PROUD OF IT, AND HE WON BY BEING WOKE AND PROUD :)

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

Zohran Mamdani: "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

big night for dems, sure, but the real winners are the aloof wives quietly steering mayoral campaigns from behind the scenes

in retrospect it’s incredibly funny to have watched republicans rule the country as if their very small victory in 2024 gave them a complete mandate for total power to do whatever extremist shit they wanted to do, and i hope they continue forward with that mindset

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

incredible reaction to zohran winning

Young men too 😮😮

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

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.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

the sort of headline we're seeing all over: www.syracuse.com/politics/cny...

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I’m as Zohran-pilled as possible, and his win is awesome, but let’s not lose sight of the fact that one of the slimiest, most repulsive people in American politics finally got a small piece of the humiliation he so richly deserves

Pretty telling that the compagnies with the most money to spend on actual artists are the first to jump on bullshit AI slop.

I just got out of D&D and am finally watching The Speech and I got as far as "these are not hands that have been allowed to hold power" before I burst into tears

HISTORY MADE: Congrats to the next mayor of Albany, @dorceyformayor.bsky.social

She will be the first Black mayor in the city’s history.

Basically me 😂

Except replace "want them to suffer" with "want them summarily guillotined"
