We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

I know several people who have recently moved or are actively looking to move from Texas, at least in part because it's too hostile to LGBTQ people. Imagine moving to Russia because you think Texas is *too nice* to them!
For my first piece back from vacation, I blogged about the people who moved from Texas to Russia to escape gay people and then found out living in Russia kind of sucks:

They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks.
Their Texas towns had too much "DEI" and "LGBT indoctrination." So they moved to Russia and became influencers.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

Props to Oregon for loading full SNAP benefits for November on my EBT card. I'm gonna use language R's usually reserve for gun ownership about gov't efforts to take it away. #ComeAndTakeIt
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has instructed states - including Oregon - to “immediately undo” actions they’ve taken to send out full SNAP benefits, according to multiple reports.
States told to ‘undo’ SNAP benefits that have been paid out: reports
At least one state has said it will not comply with the directive.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

WHOA. Via @decisiondeskhq.bsky.social, it looks like Democrats just flipped BOTH *statewide* Public Service Commissioner seats in Georgia.
That seems...significant.
