Our new likely Governor-Elect of Virginia is openly opposed to:
1.) Legal abortion
2.) Same Sex Marriage
3.) Mask Mandates and maybe Vaccines (kinda)
4.) Teaching accurate balanced racial history
Virginia has entered the GOP culture wars. New ballgame. #ElectionResults
One of the questions being asked by those who (properly) treat the NJ/VA races as bellwethers for the midterms was whether the relatively sleepy & low-coverage NJ-GOV would see similar shifts as VA (w/tons of advertising & media focus).
Looks like we have a verdict on that.
This is the biggest upset of the night. We had this as Likely Democratic. The Republican barely raised anything. Mugler was one of two Democrats to do better than Biden in 2019 compared to his 2020 margin, the other being Hurst, who also lost
Are we finally ready to support building progressive media at scale or should we keep doing the same shit and act surprised while we watch our country/democracy/planet burn….? Literally asking for democracy.
Obviously a lot of underprivileged people are having a real hard time tonight. I'm not trying to make light of a catastrophic loss. If we can't give the people what they want, however, maybe they're not our people.
Honestly I've stayed off this hellsite profile the last two years bc I feared some shit like this would happen.
We could have had Bernie... blah blah blah. I hope the whole DPVA goes down in flames right now so we can #builditbackbetter

1/ Attention US Senators - curious how this obscure, little industry called “crypto” has been able to be so effective in Washington this past week? Let me explain to you crypto’s 3 SUPERPOWERS...
1/ There are a few key moments that define our future. One is happening now in the Senate w/ the infrastructure bill. At the 11th hour @MarkWarner has proposed an amendment that would decide which foundational technologies are OK and which are not in crypto. This is disastrous.
1/ A quick explainer on what happened with the infrastructure bill last night:
We were on track to pass the Wyden-Lummis-Toomey amendment to fix the worst issues with the bill, & then Senators @RobPortman & @MarkWarner came from nowhere to blow it up.
Now the vote's tomorrow 👇
In case you were wondering what was holding up the infrastructure bill. This legislation shows a complete technical ignorance on the part of lawmakers, and will cripple the industry in the US if it passes.
