Since we are all suffering through this game, I might as well share the starter pack.

Pass along, and if I've missed anyone, let me know.

it's not sufficient, and it has to be followed by doing the hard work of rebuilding a functional society

but last night does show one thing: "vote harder" is, actually, pretty effective

Let these exit polls be yet another reminder:

1. Can’t nobody say jack shit to -OR- about Black Women.

2. The ONLY group who has the right to say anything to -OR- about Black Men…are Black Women.

When you’re consistently #1 and #2 in the game, you’ve earned that right.

“Allies”. Focus on that other 50% in your demographic that’s still showing their asses. This holiday season, go ahead and have those “hard conversations 🙄” with those folks at your dinner table.

❤️🥹 Yesterday. I have a great network of love around me, both platonic, familial...and romantic.

4. When did you last feel loved?

WonderJaye @wonderjaye.bsky.social · 5h

Both safe and scary. Not scary as in "do they love me too", but scary as in "I need them to be safe in the world, especially when I cannot be there."

It's enduring. It's so, so safe. It's reassuring. It's work. Lord knows it's not easy.

Who are Republicans in DC fighting for? They’d rather shut it all down than spend money on helping middle-class families with ridiculous insurance premiums.

Keep in mind: This is happening just months after they spent trillions on tax cuts for corporations and the ultra-wealthy.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 20h

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 21h

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

I love to see moderate dems celebrating the Mamdani win and progressives celebrating the Spanberger and Sherrill wins.

This is what happens when everyone votes for the D on the ballot.

Remember this feeling and how we got here and vote D in every election because winning feels really fucking good.

NBC folded & canceled Nat King Cole's show after 13 months on the air because it failed to attract a national sponsor. They were reluctant to sign for fear their products would be boycotted by disgruntled white Southerners.
