Holiday party solution

And for perspective, the first graders who survived Sandy Hook, of which tomorrow is the anniversary, are currently on college campuses. …some might even be at Brown.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Healthcare is a human right. Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.

Republicans want to shut down the government because they simply do not believe in government.

As a field general there were few, if any, that ever did better. When the Dems needed 218, she'd get 218.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

My annual day after post: If someone you supported LOST yesterday, sometime in the next few days, write them a note. Thank them for running. Tell them why you supported them. Thank them again for running. We don't have democracy if people don't run. Thank them.

bluesky: we love baseball and zohran mamdani and our joints are starting to hurt when it rains

In this house we respect wine moms and their service to our country

Per @votehub.com , this is perhaps the biggest sign of what happened tonight. In Union City, an 82% Hispanic City in Hudson County, Sherrill received more voted in AN OFF YEAR than Harris did last year. 2024 President: D+17, 11,316-7,940 2025 Governor: D+68.8 13,304-2,402

Let's not forget that the only reason we're not talking about Boston @mayorwu.boston.gov's victory tonight is because she won her preliminary election so decisively that her billionaire heir opponent dropped out. ✊

Mamdani has won more votes than the entire population of any of the 5 smallest states.

this is very funny, but to be earnest for a moment: the same guys setting $10M on fire here are the ones who can’t stand the idea of buses being free, of rent being affordable, of anything at all being easier for all the people for whom $10M would be an unimaginably transformative amount of money

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.

I will add this is also what Michelle Wu did— she’s not going to get as much attention tonight but that’s in part because she crushed her opponents so hard in the preliminary that she ended up uncontested tonight. Moral clarity and standing up for your neighbors is what wins.

Mamdani cracks 1M votes, the first NYC mayor to do so since John Lindsay in 1969

it’s funny how a simple message like “you should love where you live” resonates, isn’t it

Congrats to Chuck Schumer on demonstrating pretty conclusively that his support and endorsement are completely irrelevant.

Campaign sources confirm that Henry Santana will win the fourth spot in the at-large city council race, beating out Frank Baker, who'll finish fifth. "City Councillor Henry Santana was overwhelmingly re-elected in a landslide," Mayor Wu just told a crowd gathered at Grace by Nia. See dotnews.com

Long ago, all we had was that funny feeling, saying someday we'd send ‘em reeling. Now it looks like we can! Someday just began . . .

Henry Santana won releection to at-large seat, holding back fmr Cllr Frank Baker, per sources

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door, MOTHERFUCKERS.

As a Bostonian, I am conflicted about how many positive feelings I'm having about New York at this moment

trump and his minions will say some scary-sounding, threatening stuff in response to today’s results. he might even try to do something. but don’t forget — not for one second — that he’s doing it because he’s scared and weaker than ever. i do believe that we are going to win.

This is unironically my mom.

the divide between Martin and Jeffries/Schumer, Mamdani's fellow NY Dems, has been extremely noticeable. it's also a problem indicative of their fitness for leadership!

"I want to be Governor of Massachusetts but I am afraid of a park" is not a great pitch.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

Fish vendor at Haymarket is a shark for Halloween. 🦈 @universalhub.com

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Walz making it clear that we can talk about corruption and government failure in the same sentence. Basically, our public goods are disappearing because the corrupt elite are looting the government.

I literally just saw an elderly woman using a walker dressed head to toe as a frog.

Boston Strong 💙💛💙 Lots of families, college students, people visiting for the head of Charles and stopping by for a protest, cute dogs, and more!

Entertaining to see the duck boats of tourists drive buy the No Kings protest “And here are the people of Boston, doing what they’ve done best for 250 years, saying No Kings!”

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

excited to get back to not watching jimmy kimmel by choice instead of by fiat

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

lmao i hope they have them working in shifts

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

It’s actually impressive how the Democratic party managed to have the two worst possible members in positions of leadership at the exact moment of history they needed the opposite the most.

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands: You will have to come through me.

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

Wrote this in The Sirens Call about mass shootings as the darkest, most violent form of extreme trolling and think it likely applies here as well.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence. For an actual public servant. Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter
