Proud NM native. I refuse to let small, mean-spirited people frighten me. Proud to be anti-fascist. Reading is resistance. It's artificial intelligence.

My social media history has already doomed me, so I might as well keep going (Point! Laugh! Ridicule!). I'm glad I live in a blue state, but there's still a better than zero chance I'll end up in jail or shot down in the streets. (Wish I was joking.)

Thanks. I'd seen this elsewhere and couldn't remember the details. Apparently her g-grandfather asked for a receipt and was lynched.
Her great-grandfather was lynched at 20. 80 years later, she made history on Michigan’s Supreme Court. Black Excellence. 🖤

Yep. And BY ALL MEANS, have him on television even more! He's such an attractive, charismatic guy!
Stephen Miller's American Gestapo cost Republicans the midterms election. Kiss 2028 goodbye as well MAGA. I didn’t think Dems could receive even better news after the blue tsunami.

More good news from the South. Another (truly) good ol' boy...Oh my...
Republican Jennifer Balkcom voted for North Carolina's 12-week abortion ban, then wrote that abortion is "never medically necessary," even to save the mother's life. Her constituents decided she wasn't necessary. Congratulations, Congressman-Elect Jamie Ager.

Yup. There are a lot of good people in the South. Lots of blue in even the reddest areas.
Man that dude and that accent with a D after his name… crazy

I know we're in for some more horror. But I just cannot help laughing. They'll just continue to go down, down, down.
So. Apparently didn’t take away the correct message from the midterms.

This actually makes sense.
Democratic Rep.-elect Richard Ojeda, who ousted the NRCC chair, on potential investigations into Trump: "Instead of impeaching, which will allow MAGA to martyr him, I say we investigate him thoroughly... investigate thoroughly and show the American people the evidence."

This. Heck, our First Lady can't even learn English.
My American friends please relax, there is no chance you’ll be forced to speak Arabic because there is no chance you’ll be able to learn it

The big race wins are exhilarating but it's the down ballot races that really show the change that's happening.
In Madras, Oregon, a Trump +30 town, we flipped a city council seat Red to Blue ♥️

Plus, let's give ourselves a break. Dunno about you, but I'm mentally exhausted. (and hit pause on asking for $ until after the first of the year. Thanks.)
I’m begging people to stop trying to draft newly elected candidates like Abdul or Talarico to run for president. Let them settle into the role and see if they’re any good at it first. We also need them right where they are!!

Love that he defeated Foxx. Love it even more after finding out why this seemingly stereotypical old white guy ran. To protect LGBTQ people, including his daughter and her wife.
News & Observer: Chuck Hubbard (D) wins North Carolina’s 5th congressional district, defeating Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC). 🟦Democratic flip

Replying to @scarylawyerguy
He was old. He had aggressive cancer. He was a great president. And got treated like absolute shit because the media was bored and wanted Trump back.

Yep. My folks were Okies. I went to OU. There's a lot of blue in the state, always has been. I recall that Democrats have been flipping state seats for a while, in deep red counties.
No one is talking about Oklahoma because we remained red, but Democrats picked up 6 seats in the State House, swpet the 3 Oklahoma County offices and a lot of Oklahoma leaned left from the 2024 Presidential Election. That's a win for us 💚💚💚

I know I know. But hilarious. Yo, @KatieMiller ICYMI We re pointing and laughing, you pathetic, evil woman.
Makes sense. Her and her husband can’t go out in the daylight.

YAYYY! Another reason I kept refreshing my feed. C'mon Mississippi!
🚨BREAKING🚨 Democrat Eileen Laubacher has defeated Incumbent Republican Lauren Boebert in the CO-04 U.S. House Election. This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.

YAYYY! Why I've kept refreshing my feed today.

This. But he and the rest of 'em aren't going to just give up and go away. We have to pay attention and keep working.
Oops! Almost forgot! Russell Vought can take his stupid Project 2025, that reads like a couple of 13-year-old nouveaux riche kids that got pantsed at school and fantasized about a world where everyone that doesn't look and think like them is their slave, and shove it up his selfish, emotionally arrested, racist and misogynistic ass. We're Diverse, WokeAF, arming Ukraine, and giving Healthcare back.

This. Plus, sure the economy and the war were factors, but methinks the biggest factor was the incredible stupidity. Kids getting trans surgery at school is one just one example. And they KEPT REPEATING THE CRAP.
Another thing this election showed is when their hate, fear and division playbook doesn’t work, Republicans don’t really have a Plan B.

Honestly, this is funny (in a depressing sort of way). I'm not even angry, just pity her and the rest of the MAGA cult. Anyway, onward! These folks aren't going away so we have to keep working.
It’s becoming very clear over the past 24 hours that this election was definitely rigged and not just mildly, but so blatantly and over-the-top that you’d have to be willfully blind not to see what happened. This appears to be the first step: making the problems so obvious that the public finally wakes up to the fact that we do not have free and fair elections. We’re seeing the kind of elections associated with third-world countries, complete with foreign interference. I’m waiting to see what the next step will be. How about you?

One thing I agree with the toddler about -- his nickname for Rubio. Little Marco suits him (and I"m not talking abou his height) Gonna be fun to watch as it sinks in that Trump doesn't plan on going anywhere.
