My Fist of Resistance is back at home after three months of lighting the way to the door of Democratic headquarters in Newtown CT.

I offer to loan it to @repjahanahayes.bsky.social for midterms, if she wants!

It is clearly doing its job. We swept on Tuesday, won every race. @ctdems.bsky.social

Good! 👏👏👏

Now it’s time to call a special session, protect our residents from the MAGA cuts, and welcome people looking to move here by making it legal to build more homes! 🏠 💪

CT Dems call 2025 blue wave 'historic,' a boost before the '26 races

CT's governor and the Democratic state chair framed the election as as evidence of a big-tent party eager to compete in the 2026 midterms.

#BlueWave in Newtown, CT. Democrats swept every race, ousting the incumbent Republican First Selectman and even the long-time Republican Town Clerk.

Turnout was nearly 50 percent vs. 40 percent in 2023.

We asked voters to show up for Democracy and to show up for Newtown, and they did.

Renee, Weismann, our new town clerk, first hears she won!

August isn't over but the mass shootings casualty count for the U.S. for the month so far is 22 dead, 149 wounded.

It could be stopped. Look around the world. But 2nd Amendment fetishists block meaningful legislation.

The raised-fist/RESISTANCE neon sign I had made after the last election has a home for the next few months in the door of Democratic headquarters on Queen Street in Newtown, CT.
SHOW UP on November 4. For #newtownct. For #democracy.

Democratic headquarters in Newtown, Connecticut. SHOW UP on Nov. 4. Elect Democrats. Throw MAGA out. I'm involved because I want to kick their asses in November, at midterms and in 2028. That's my resistance sign in the window.

Suggestion for activists and local #Democrats everywhere: Produce a local public access TV show. Yes, we KNOW. Hardly anyone will watch.

BUT - you will get quality video for a Youtube Channel and repurpose for social media. In #Newtown CT, we're up and running!
