Hey Texans as well as out of state donors - this would be a good time to donate if you can to the state Democratic Party (plus the State House and State Senate Dems), as well as the local county Democratic Parties in Texas. December 8th is fast approaching and that's the deadline to run for office.
📣 Now it's time to focus on the 2026 Midterm Main Event!

I'll be filling in competitive #TEXAS districts soon; for now you can help TX Senate Dems, TX House Dems & the TX Democratic Party.

Donate today! #Blue26

Gee, am I not surprised? And it's not just limited to many MAGA accounts... Bernie Bro accounts, as well as doom and gloom accounts are like that as well.
X’s new origin/location feature reminds us that many MAGA accounts trolling and triggering us are actually just this:

#NY17 residents - this protest tomorrow at Nanuet is for you.
Recently posted about how the local GOP was attempting to shut down ALL protests - weekly and #NoKings - in Nanuet, NY (see my thread below).

Now @indivisrockland.bsky.social is fighting back.

If you live in-or-near #NY17 PLEASE attend THIS SATURDAY’s Nanuet rally.

If you haven't voted yet in the special election for #TN07, it would be a good time right now to make a plan to vote for this woman below and get the Dems one step closer to taking back the majority in the House. Early voting will end next week, so let's run up the score!
TN-07, you’ve got one week left to vote early for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

It’s Election Day! The runoffs from Nov 4 elections are starting to come in, but there are also several special elections and a recall.

If you are in AK, FL, GA, MS, or SC, you may have an election today!

Don't sleep on this race folks! GA HD-121 (R+13.7) is one that we can win with Eric Gisler on the ballot, and given that we won big in the PSC races about two weeks ago, we want to keep the momentum going on December 9th.

There's also a special election in GA HD-23, but it's deep red (R+51.6).
Georgia Democrats have a chance on Dec. 9 to flip a legislative seat that backed Donald Trump by 13 points—but that Democrats won by even more last month in two statewide races.

Don't leave any seat uncontested - from federal, statewide, judicial, state legislatures, various local races (school boards, city councils, mayors, etc.) across the country, it's time to throw your hat into the ring and run for office, even if it's in a deep red district.

#ContestEverySeat
Recruit a Democrat. Every seat. Every state. Waves need someone to ride them. Call your state party, sign up to run, or volunteer. Make the GOP fight for every inch. Let’s go! No seat left empty!

Totally understandable, although it's still not a good deal, he does have a point where the worst case scenario could have happened, and the only way we could have stopped it was the courts (but no guarantees that a Roberts SCOTUS would have struck those regressive Jim Crow laws down).
Straightforward confirmation from Angus King that the gang of eight made the deal out of earnest concern for the filibuster. www.pressherald.com/2025/11/13/w...

That accounts for about 57.8% of the VA House Democratic caucus - which means it will be majority women-led come January 2026.

And 71 women total in the VA House of Delegates is remarkable.

Notable stat from @thedlcc.bsky.social: Come January, there will be more women in the VA House Democratic caucus—37 in total—than there are members of the Republican caucus, period—just 34.

Early voting starts now and we need to bank as many votes as possible for @aftynbehn.bsky.social so that we can persuade unlikely voters later to vote.

Thought you might like this @susanwilson.bsky.social - these ladies below have a really good point where we need to run for office and try rather than not, even if it's a deep red district.

And I think we could also use a value pack for each of those states in the most reddest districts.
#Gerrymandered and fired up? Fight back—run for office, even when the map is rigged. Can’t Win Victory Fund helps “can’tidates” in impossible districts make noise, grow the vote for up-ballot races and push for fair maps—and yes, we make it fun.
