This has not gotten much attention, but it should.
Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.
Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

So the next time people want to appeal to the right, it’s because they are right wing themselves. Because the proof is in the pudding after what happened last night.

Saying this now so the Dem strategists can get it through their thick skulls :
We’re not voting for a bigger tent if it includes Republicans and not Palestinians, disabled ppl, and trans folks.
Winning IS possible if you move left. And you have time to find those candidates ✌🏻

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

My very first graphic essay, “Only”—about the complexities of remembering as an only child—is in Blackbird 24.1 🖤 It was a hard one to write and illustrate, but I’m grateful for the process and the processing. TW for suicidal ideation. If you take the time to read and engage with it, thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏽

Evergreen reminder that cops lie.
ICE, prosecutors, and federal, state and local law enforcement officers lie and mislead the public around everything from crime stats to individual instances of violence by agents. We should never repeat their narratives unchecked, as if what they say is factual.
