I've been seeing a lot of posts showing heroic Black voter turnout. This one about sums it up.
This is why I just block anti-voting people. If you can look at this and still posture like refusing to vote against Nazis is heroic, we're done.
midterms
My heart goes out to all the people standing in these lines to vote. Every time I post pics like these I'm gobsmacked at their bravery and infuriated that they have to do this.
God bless the southern blue voters, especially in nonwhite communities where it is exceedingly hard to vote.

As the midterm results start to roll in, please remember to be gentle with yourselves.
It will be a stressful night.
If you’re chronically ill, this stress can take a huge toll.
It’s ok to log off. It’s ok to disengage. It’s ok to take breaks.
I’ve been trying to take my own advice these last few weeks.
I’ve had a number of huge setbacks and have had to completely log off.
I miss everyone so much.
I’m lonely and scared that my baseline won’t ever recover.
I hate that I’m not “contributing”.
This is internalized ableism.
I have to rest now or my body will force the issue and make me so much worse.
I’m sharing this old article I wrote to remind myself, and others, that it’s ok to protect your digital space.
It’s ok to do whatever you need to survive, even if what you need is to do absolutely nothing.
Thank you to everyone who’s reached out with concern & kind words.
See you soon!

So . . .
Things are looking good
Still — I will not feel a relief to my ongoing & paralyzing anxiety until Trump’s Department of “Justice” has finished litigating the election.

[Someone is super freaking out.
[I know the whole Nero fiddling while Rome burned is an amalgamation of real historical events in order to create a “moral of the story” — but still, yikes, this is some modern day celeb-u-wannabe neuroses on display . . . ]
On this very consequential midterm night, #Trump offered some harsh criticism of his formerly preferred cable news channel on his social media account.

There's still #midterm results coming in
Here's an awesome one:
" #NithyaRaman Projected to Win #LosAngeles #Mayor’s Race, Defeating #KarenBass"
Raman is a member of the #DemocraticSocialistsOfAmerica #DSA
I think of this as the #Mamdani template:
1. run as an outsider within the #Democrats
2. just fucking beat them anyways
We can replicate this across the country, and replace the shitty #DNC
👏 👏 👏

Love this headline from the Houston Chronicle

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown.

There’s no question Donald Trump took a hit in the US midterms. But the tech industry may prove to be an even bigger loser.
Across the country, electoral races were won and lost based on where candidates stood on data centers. The public was clear: they want moratoriums and for AI ambitions to be reined in.

Top USPS officials expressed concerns that new mail voting rules could delay or block ballots from reaching large swaths of eligible voters for the upcoming midterms, but the rules moved forward anyway, ProPublica has learned.

NEW: Missouri Voters Just Made It Much Harder for Lawmakers to Overturn Citizen-Led Initiatives
For years, Missouri Republicans worked to undo or restrict voter-approved laws and amendments. In passing Amendment 6, voters have not only protected the ballot initiative process but also dramatically strengthened their power over the legislature.

The #BallotMeasures went HARD against #trans people. #Colorado was worst with 2, banning #sports and #kids #MedicalCare.
#BlueWave means nothing for us if the #voters who did it threw us under the bus for it. #Democrats said they were better, and then did *this*.
If you voted, you owe #TransOrgs #money. Here are 2 to start:

i hope #NoKings democrats, look at what Trump is doing with #Ukraine and understand this is about the #midterms.
#GOP #MAGA fascists cannot manufacture elections wins like with the Electoral College. the EC was created to SUPPRESS the popular vote. Congress are USA’s only federal direct democracy and techbros cannot suppress those votes as easily.
so #Ukraine, like the #tv #executions, are fascist Republicans wresting control of the war machine in anticipation to losing the midterms.
🚨 "META took down the No Kings IG account for 4 hours today!"
It´s so obvious. Fuck META.
