It's a Democratic clean sweep in Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. A blue wave. A blue tsunami. A tornado of shit for Trump & the GOP who are left screaming about deranged election fraud conspiracies. We won. We fucking won. And now we need to act like it.

Democratic candidate Jay Jones has won the Virginia Attorney General election.

Democratic Ghazala Hashmi has won Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor race, which is a flip.

Democrats are sweeping elections tonight.

Take note PM Luxon et.all: Ppl DON'T LIKE the #antiabortion or #antitrans BS! We do not like injustice like pay equity removal, Te Tiriti removal, RSE guidelines that erase LGBTQIA, not paying teachers & health workers & selling off our oceans & land &, tax cuts for tobacco & more. #nzpol #aotearoa

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Massive news for VA, I believe this guarantees they'll be able to get abortion rights on the state ballot next year. The antis spent hell of time and money in VA trying to stop this and absolutely face-planted.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Anyone know what Winston Peters was threatening when he said "watch this space" after removing the RSE guidelines about consent, LGBTQIA and gender? Are we all going to show our genitals or birth certificates to be allowed to wee in a public toilet? #nzpol

Lisa Owen on Checkpoint is ROASTING the NZ Police spokeswoman over the cops who faked indicative breath tests … any defence lawyer going forward should open their examination of police witnesses with “are you one of the 120 who just makes stuff up?”

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Tonight, in Chicago, North Side rapid responders and community members held a vigil. At least ten people were abducted by ICE in Rogers Park alone today. We uplifted the message RESIST ICE in lights. We spoke out, sang together, grieved, and reaffirmed our commitment to defending our neighbors.

Protesters hold lighted signs that say RESIST ICE on a elevated train platform in Chicago.

Atena Danner, a Black woman poet, speaks into a microphone in front of protesters holding lighted signs that spell the word "RESIST."

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
