man i cannot believe that Cheney died the same day that Zohran Mamdani got elected mayor of nyc

Dick Cheney died and the democrats genuinely fucking swept this whole off-year election

nature is healing, etc

okay for real though:

• maine rejected a heinous voting restricting law & passed a red flag gun control law
• colorado passed a tax on people who earn more than $300,000 a year, which will be used to fund food assistance programs
• california passed its redistricting proposition, which heavily favors dems in a direct attempt to counter Republican gerrymandering on the national scale, in a landslide vote
• in viginia, the state delegation went from 51-49 (D-R) to 63-37 (D-R), and dems also won the races for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General
• and, again, Mamdani defeated Cuomo in the race for Mayor of NYC

like, holy fuck

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mamdani won in NYC in a fucking landslide. By over 200,000 more votes than Cuomo

Democrats held onto the Governors seat in NJ

Virginia just elected its first female Governor, flipping the seat from Republican to Democrat. And it doesnt stop there. The Lt. Governor AND Attorney General also flipped from Republican to Democrat.

Pennsylvania voted to retain all 3 Supreme Court judges in its state preserving the Democrats 5-2 Majority

Maine elected to NOT pass a law that would force people to “prove citizenship” before voting. Which is good because only citizens can vote anyway and passing a law like that would only serve to allow discrimination of POC.

Colorado voted to tax the wealthy higher to fund free school meals AND use the excess from that to fund SNAP

AND Prop 40 is looking like its going to pass with flying colours.

It wasnt all wins. Texas passed a draconian Parents rights law that allows them even more control over their children’s lives - likely in an anti-trans bid and they passed their own version of the whole “prove citizenship” thing.

BUT LOOK!! LOOK AT ALL THESE WINS!!!

THE RESISTANCE IS THERE AND ITS LOUD!!! THIS COULD BE JUST A TASTE OF WHAT WE CAN DO COME MID-TERMS. If we all collectively keep up the energy and VOTE LIKE HELL we can make a Blue Wave happen and SERIOUSLY kneecap this attempt at an Authoritarian Regime!

I know that we get a lot of bad news and we get it every day. But the good is there! The regime is failing left right and centre and this can be the first glimpse at what we can do!

Dont let them win in your head! Dont let them silence you into complacency!! We have the momentum! Let’s ride it!

did you know that, besides the apple of knowledge and the pomegranate of life, there’s another mystic fruit, one that grants you a sense of purpose?

yeah, it’s the raisin d’être
