Congratulations to Governor-elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and the New Jersey Indivisibles who worked so hard to secure this big win! This is a huge night for Democrats and a humiliation for Trump. The message from voters is clear: There is a political cost to siding with the regime.

It cannot be stressed enough how important mutual aid networks are about to become. These will be tantamount to replacing the cut benefits in the coming weeks. Reach out within your communities. Build connections, talk to people. Ask how you can help each other. When we build solidarity, we win!
