So much of what happened yesterday is a direct consequence of Lindsey’s courage, both in speaking up initially and then campaigning to ensure the world didn’t forget about what had happened, even as it seemed like it would all be ignored

Good day, sir!

Hello Berkeley! I am in you. Please don't rain on me, I didn't bring any rain gear.

Finally I can stop pretending I'm not corrupt AF!

Hey Dems I found your new slogan!

This guy is so fuckin dumb.

Mustn't trouble the cars!

FBI says criminals are posing as masked ICE agents. Who except for everyone could have predicted this?

Please god. We've earned this.

*Fuck* yes. Instead of visiting more rural diners, political reporters should sit in on some book clubs or take a pilates class. Meet the people where they are!

Need a guillotine emoji.

Attn: @governorferguson.bsky.social!

"... party insiders say Democrats are still stuck running social media programs that strive for authenticity, but often clash with the party’s unrelenting desire to maintain control." Loosen up, Dems.

I hope this important message doesn’t get lost in all the other news today

How can states keep making progress on sustainable transportation—even as the Trump admin rolls back climate action? Check out the latest episode of @volts.wtf and hear Evergreen’s senior transportation policy lead Liya Recthman dive into the tools and strategies at states' disposal.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

It will be interesting to see if he can maintain this high-energy, extremely-online transparency while actually governing. It would be fascinating to see someone actually use this style of media to bring people in to gov't itself, to make them feel involved in administration.

Despite all his bluster, what Trump fears above all else is being hated & mocked. He's been surrounded by a layer of apparatchiks who tell him he's winning & everyone loves him, but last night's election is an uncomfortable & inalterable fact. His ego will need to compensate. Brace for weirdness!

Lots of advice for Dems flying around, but here's a modest suggestion: how about more fulsomely embracing the one non-fascist people-powered movement that's actually succeeding?

"The double victory marks the first time the Democratic Party has won a statewide constitutional office in Georgia since 2006..." 😳

Congrats to Colorado for showing the rest of the country how to establish a basic baseline of decency.

Trump's lawyers are in the Supreme Court right now establishing that, among other things, a future Dem president can declare a climate emergency and tariff the fuck out of whatever he wants.

Today on Volts: sustainable transportation policy is under comprehensive attack by the federal government, but states can soften the blow. Specifically, governors have a little-understood authority to transfer existing federal funds to EV charging, bike lanes, & transit. But time is running out!

David is how I found out about this race. You should follow him and listen to his podcast. Volts.wtf

Volts and @volts.wtf are amazing, just like everything the Green brothers do is amazing. Thank you for bringing more attention to an important voice! The jumpstart guide is an excellent way to learn about energy, sustainability, and policy: www.volts.wtf/p/volts-jump...

Remarkable investigative work by @propublica.org to dig what’s really happened in Portland & who is to blame for the violence. Like Chicago, it shows it’s the federal agents who are out of control. Read every word. www.propublica.org/article/port...

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate! In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

—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 conservative takeover —Charlotte approves transit tax —Dems flip CT towns like New Britain. (And that's not all!)

What we know, 12:10am [Now in 2 parts] —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems flip ≈13 seats in VA House —Dems defend NJ-Gov + Assembly —Dems win NJ+VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices —Krasner & Bragg win

Excuse me, what? www.wsj.com/tech/musk-te...

This person took this when they called the race

Volts gets results. ⚡

As of tonight they have their own problems: A Dem who's a union shop leader is the top vote getter tonight in a TEXAS State Senate district that Trump carried by 20 pts last year. Donate, canvass and otherwise support this guy and he might have a chance in the run-off. (He already has the beard).

They're calling it Woke 2.

Heady shit.

hooboy

"Let tonight be the last time I say his name." 🙏

Perfect. Off the dome.

This is incredible.

Where are we on housing policy this election evening? —NIMBY NJ Gubernatorial candidate loses decisively. —Mamdani, promising to pause rent increase & develop 200k affordable units, wins NYC decisively. —All pro-housing referendums in NYC likely passed. —Housing funding passed in Columbus & Denver.

@volts.wtf Thanks for highlighting this race, David. My family voted today. I hope the Democrats win! www.volts.wtf/p/pay-attent...

"Elon Musk went on Joe Rogan's podcast to explain, with total confidence and zero evidence, that the government shutdown is happening because blue states are stealing 'hundreds of billions' in federal money to buy votes from undocumented immigrants."

The US has abdicated any role in fighting the most urgent threat to human welfare in history, so other countries need to step up and figure out how to do it without us.

Here's a giant energy company that's heavily investing in electricity. Why? As a hedge against the volatile prices of oil & gas! Gosh I wonder if there's any larger lesson to be learned from this?

Some good news: Brazil's fight against deforestation is paying climate dividends.
