"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

Mayor Mamdani redefines what it means to hope

His victory has created a harsh contrast between the world we want and the world we have.

JUST IN: Democrats have swept the 3 supreme court elections in Pennsylvania.

They beat back a concerted GOP effort to erase their majority; instead, they'll keep a 5-2 edge on this very important court.

The justice was appointed by Scott Walker so…ya know. BUT it is not for the majority of the court like both 2024 and 2025 were, so it’ll be intense but maybe slightly less so.

Don’t ever let them tell you that hope is a bad thing, that the odds are so stacked against you that you will never win, that it is too late to change the world. What has happened today in New York can happen everywhere.

I’m equally relieved that Wisconsin did not have to vote today (being in a battleground state is not for the weak of heart!) and feeling left out watching exciting results roll in

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.

Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.

Sometimes being that annoying friend who posts reminders about voting and upcoming elections actually makes a difference!

Text from a friend that reads: I see that next Tuesday is Election Day but every time I search
"what's on my ballot" and put in my address it says the election is 100 something days away and gives me the date of the spring election.
Do we not have anything to vote for?
Had to ask my most politically savvy friend
