No matter our race, age, or income, most of us believe that for democracy to work for all of us, it must include us all. To move forward together, we must ensure that every American has the #FreedomToVote.

The reason this was a serious race in the first place is @aftynbehn.bsky.social and the people-powered movement she built. The result of this overperformance: a lot of Republicans in so-called "safe seats" are scared tonight, and Trump's redistricting push will take another huge hit.

Appreciation post for @aftynbehn.bsky.social! What an incredible candidate, organizer, and leader. She scared the entire regime and all their donors. The swing we're seeing tonight implies a blue tsunami next year if Dem voters choose fighters like Aftyn in the coming primaires. Thank you Aftyn!!!

We’re so grateful to @aftynbehn.bsky.social for running an incredible grassroots campaign that made Republicans sweat in a deep-red district. Thank you to everybody in #TN07, across Tennessee, and nationwide for making this special election closer than anyone imagined it could be.

👀 All eyes are on Tennessee's #SpecialElection tonight as the results begin to roll in!

Aftyn Behn - the Democratic candidate for TN-07 - has been running a highly competitive campaign in an otherwise 'red' district. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

"There is no 'center' between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people." - Robert Reich
rbreich.bsky.social Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 24d
Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises.

When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo
