What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I am so happy about everything tonight but I am really goddamn emotional about this. I canvassed every year but 2017 was the first year I worked REALLY hard in state elections and what we pulled off that year was so heartening and then 2019 and just I am so happy for how far VA has come.
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.
The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.
John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

A good summary thread. Here’s the thing: if he’s nominated, Susan Collins is going to say she’s running against a Nazi tattoo guy. And then she’s going to win.
It couldn’t be easier for her, because any swing voter, people who are used to voting for her, wants to think of themselves as not Nazi.

1. Graham Platner is an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who’s running for the United States Senate in Maine. He’s trying to knock off Susan Collins. He’s presented himself as a common-man candidate who stands against oligarchy, genocide and the oppression of the little guy.

I actually do think we should have a litmus test that having ever had Nazi iconography on your body is instantly disqualifying for public office. I'm not saying you cannot possibly atone for that, apologize, make teshuvah, and live a good life, but I don't want to vote for you for public office.
