No word on what voters have been saying to soon-to-be-Speaker Jeffries. Jeffries on Wednesday dismissed the idea, however, that Democrats would impeach the president, as some liberals want to do. “I haven’t had a single member of the House Democratic Caucus talk to me about impeachment,” he said. “We’ve been relentlessly focused on affordability, and on accountability.” https://thehill.com/homenews/6198897-jeffries-ribs-johnson-midterms/ #election #politics #uspol #trump

On the Christchurch City Libraries’ Flickr page is this photo of a kids’ voting booth set up at the Linwood library. This will be near to the real election booths for adults. The kids get to select their top pet candidate. The candidates range from the more centrist cat and dog representatives to the ant farm and axolotl minor parties. Choose wisely. 😀 https://flic.kr/p/2sKTBKE #NZelection #election #Flickr #Christchurch #ChristchurchCityLibraries #library

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 helped pave the way for Black voters, the beginning of dismantling Jim Crow. But, it took a long time. It wasn't a magic law, just like Brown vs. The Board of Education didn't automatically desegregate the schools. But, 1965. Think about how long ago that was, not too long after I was born. I came along just a few days after the famous "I Have a Dream" speech during the historic March on Washington. Fast forward to now, where voter suppression in Georgia is still a thing, and Stacey Abrams has fought like hell to defeat most of it. And yet. And yet. We now have a Black woman as our Governor! That's earth-shattering change that only took almost my entire life to happen. Keisha Lance-Bottoms busted right through that glass ceiling, showering us with tiny sparkling grains, shining like diamonds in the bright new day. The future begins now. #USPol #US #Politics #Election #USElection

You know, there's a particular line in a particular version of the Internationale that I really appreciate. "Justice Thunders Condemnation" I don't know, it just seems relevant right now. Ground has been taken. We're still really far from the world we want to see, but that's a fight that will take our entire lifetime and, maybe, even more. We do what we can now, we fight now, for the purpose that others will have a chance. There is a selflessness in the basic tenets of leftism, a real desire to toil and suffer while we solve what we can. We do that all so that others can solve problems greater than us. I know voting democrat can sometimes be a choice that tears us apart. But this? What we see today is a ground on which we can continue to take. We push the overton window as hard as we can. Progressives will continue to rise and win. All the while, the dem leaders themselves have no choice to put up a defense again the Republicans. They still attack us, but they have too many resources tied up to do it effectively. Also, they're... Not the brightest or most media minded of people. They are beatable. The biggest fucking moron of all time did it. Why can't we? Sometimes you have to think tactically and coldly about politics. We have a once in a generation opportunity to gain ground and, just maybe, take control of the party entirely down the road. Do not waste time. "Impossible" is the mantra of those who choose to give up. Stand and take up the fucking fight, in any way you can. Oh, and we'll win Florida next time. Sometimes you take a loss, it happens. Perhaps it's necessary to listen to those of Cuban descent there and find a way to address their concerns better. Either way, it's a done deal in '28. Mark my words. Keep your eyes open and do what you can. #leftism #leftist #uspol #Election

The banning of books in Texas and 10 commandments in schools will likely soon end. Not only has Gov. Greg Abbot lost and soon-to-be Senator-elect Talarico won, but… The Texas Tribune is reporting that Democrats have solid leads in all the statewide elected executive races: Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Comptroller, Ag Commissioner, General Land Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner, and 7 of 9 State Board of Education seats. The governor appoints our Secretary of State, so that will change, too. Texas is finally turning blue. #boostingIsSharing#Bookstodon #writersOfMastodon #writingCommunity #author #writer #uspol #bluewave #bluetsunami #democrats #elections #election

RE: https://mastodon.social/@houstonpublicmedia/117555741111800566 This will be the real surprise tonight. Gina ran in Talarico's senate race shadow most of the campaign. Her momentum kept growing and growing and in the last few weeks, she really made great impressions. #Texas #MidTerms #Election #USPol #Politics
