Today, Virginians' voices were heard. Regardless of what the Virginia Supreme Court decides, Virginians have made it clear that they’re willing to fight tooth and nail against the excesses of Donald Trump to hold the wealthy and powerful accountable and build a new system that works for everyone.
Governor Spanberger Releases Statement on Redistricting Referendum Outcome RICHMOND, VA — Governor Abigail Spanberger today released the following statement on the outcome of Virginia’s redistricting referendum. “Virginia voters have spoken, and tonight they approved a temporary measure to push back against a President who claims he is ‘entitled’ to more Republican seats in Congress. Virginians watched other states go along with those demands without voter input — and we refused to let that stand. We responded the right way: at the ballot box. “I understand the urgency of winning congressional seats as a check on this President, and I look forward to campaigning with candidates across the Commonwealth working to earn Virginians’ trust — and their votes. Looking forward, I remain committed to ensuring Virginia's bipartisan redistricting commission gets back to work after the 2030 census, and to protecting the process Virginians voted to create.”

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

The post includes a photo of a visibly distressed Alex Jones and the new rainbow-colored Infowars logo.
Karma is a betch, Alex Jones.
this is fucked, obviously, but also gee I see the SPLC leadership’s plan of appeasing these assholes by throwing the most effective parts of their org under the bus over the past few years is playing out exactly like anyone who’s not an idiot nonprofit leadership type would have expected.
Republicans spent years manipulating maps and rigging the system, TODAY voters have the chance to decide #VoteYesVirginiaToday
Fight back, vote yes. Why are we going to the polls to vote yes today? Step one in stopping this regime from kidnapping people. Polls are open until 7pm. Just turned 18? Just moved here from out of state? We have same day voter registration. Link to find polling location below.

#VoteYesVirginia
Let’s go VA! 250 years later we still say no to Kings and grifters! VOTE YES!
Trump pressured Republican states to rig their electoral maps, because he saw a midterm disaster coming for his party. He knows they will lose big without rigged districts. Virginia can level the playing field and stop his newest scam tomorrow by voting YES for fair election maps. #VoteYesVirginia
Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

I’m not giving up. The Epstein files MUST be released. @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social won’t stop until we bring justice to the victims and survivors.
There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
This is an incredibly well written, incredibly moving piece by Goldie Taylor.
If you read one thing about Justin Fairfax today, this should be that one thing.
She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since.
But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

Maddow: All the people who came out to protest at Stonewall when the Trump administration pulled down the pride flag, "today you won."
Iran president: 'His Holiness Pope Louis XIV, I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.'
If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until
they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
"BREAKING: I join the Hungarian people in celebrating the crushing defeat of Orbán – a ringing testament to the power of democracy over autocracy. While we deal with Trump’s disastrous leadership, let’s find strength & hope in the power of the people over horrible strongman leaders." - Sen. Mark Warner

Women are targets of religious nationalism. The SAVE Act is in good company—and it’s not dead yet. As of today, the SAVE Act has passed the House but not become law. The bill still faces the Senate’s 60-vote threshold. Speak NOW!
