This is… incredible. Mamdani’s facial expression here is just *chefs kiss*

This is me except is was offline since about noon, so I feel like Rip Van Winkle

I’ve been off social media all day and uhhh I think at this point I need to just stay off? Bc wtf even are current events.

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

We need your help! But let me explain why:

NEW: Kim Davis is done. The Supreme Court is not reconsidering Obergefell. What happens now? There is a reason people were afraid that the Supreme Court would take up case. The reason is the Supreme Court itself. Here's why I'm taking this whole experience seriously. Today, at Law Dork:

Please do me a favor and make sure many eyeballs see this story this Veterans Day. These service members all served at least 15 - 17 years when they were forced to retire. Then the Trump administration took those benefits away solely because they’re transgender.

Sending every queer American a warm hug today. I’d been trying not to think too hard about it, but this one had me scared. Hopefully we never have to see her smug face on a news story ever again. I feel like we’re owed that.

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

My god DO NOT FOLD. The population of the country just showed their support on Election Day. Folding now is a complete betrayal of that - plus I need my ACA marketplace healthcare, dammit!

To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

There are no good-faith anti-trans arguments and no acceptable compromises on trans lives

Happy 5th of November! *sets off fireworks, drops a dumb fic, and runs*

Oh so Thanksgiving meals could have been $20 this whole time?? Food prices didn’t need to be so high?

It's November 5th so the lines between my politics and #Destiel are blurring again.

Today would be a good day to fund the ACA and end the GOP shutdown.

—PA Dems 2 open statewide judge seats in PA —PA Dems flip Erie County exec, + defend swing counties —Dems flip NY's Onondaga & Dutchess counties, a first in decades, & PA's Luzerne County —Seattle GOP city attorney trails big —MN Dems defend state Senate —Dems defend swing leg seats in NY, WA

—Larry Krasner & Bragg win —Coloradoans fund free school meals —JD's half-brother loses —PA Dems flip Erie County exec, Bucks DA + sheriff —PA Dems oust all GOPers from Bucks school boards once 'ground 0' of right-wing takeover —Charlotte approves transit tax —Dems flip CT towns like New Britain.

What we know, final edition of the night: [Now in 3 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems gain leg seats in VA, NJ, & MS —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices

Do ask any Labour MPs or centrist commentators congratulating Mamdani what they can possibly learn from some of his policies. Like these for instance.

From Erin Reed: Loudoun County—from which Trump threated to withhold fed funding for upholding restroom access—rejected anti-trans Rep & elected 2 trans rights Dems.--incl. one who represented trans students in court against outgoing anti-trans Rep Gov Glenn Youngkin.

Major win in Arlington County Public Schools, with pro-trans Moe Bryant dominating the election. Arlington County Public Schools has made headlines for defying the Trump admin on trans kids in bathrooms.

The Illinois legislature had passed the “Illinois Bivens Act,” allowing people to sue ICE agents in state court. Just waiting for Pritzker’s signature. dailynorthwestern.com/2025/11/03/c...

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.

Again, the thing about AOC is that she's just very very good at this

This is what Election Day last year was suppose to feel like. Tonight doesn’t erase that or the past year of fear and pain. But it damn sure helps. I’d missed the feeling of hope.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

If you believed the polls which showed tight races - those polls were wrong. Current numbers at 11:21 pm: NJ Gov - D +12.6 percent VA Gov - D +14.9 percent NYC Mayor - D +8.8 percent

Mamdani: My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name.

Yall my very purple town went 100% blue and I could honestly cry. I just might.

I remember this feeling.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

Mary Sheffield will become the first woman elected mayor of Detroit, CNN projects. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4oRiL7z

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

NEW FUCKING YOOOOOOOOORKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

GREAT JOB CINCINNATIIIIIII!!!!

Breaking: Jubilation in Richmond, Virginia where Abigail Spanberger was just elected the new governor. Republican anti-trans ads did not work in the state. www.advocate.com/politics/abi...
