Yeah! I just forwarded you the email.
Vega said in many cases, “There are already people doing the work. Find them and look to help.”
It's why Sinker says he's a "small cog" in a system of people galvanized to act by the brutality they’ve witnessed.
“They come back; we’re back too. There’s no other option.”
Seeing your name in my WBEZ Rundown was so good for my heart today 🥲🫶🏽
And listen. ICE doesn’t care about your passport anyway. They detain US citizens constantly.
None of this is actually about immigration. It never was, but they aren’t even pretending anymore.
I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

People want to walk and bike in the winter. It’s this sort of thing that makes it hard. Imagine trying to push a stroller or using a wheelchair. Yet the road was so clear I saw drivers speeding (feedback boards flashing). Priorities!
I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

🥹 I love it.
Excited to rewatch with this lens!
I'm in no way surprised to agree with you so strongly on this

This is an incredible speech, full of hope, substance, fight, care for the vulnerable, and community.
9. Despite the pleas of centrist consultants urging Dems to abandon trans people, it was those who targeted them who saw electoral fortunes collapse. For the first time in years, trans Americans can breathe and see evidence that the wave of anti-trans panic aimed at them may finally be receding.
8. These were only some of the many results that clearly broke for Dems and in favor of trans rights on Tuesday. In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court maintained its 5-2 majority, with the Philadelphia Gay News reporting each justice that was retained had a record of protecting LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians.
7. In the biggest news, New York City elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor—a rebuke to his opponents’ anti-trans rhetoric and a victory built on an unapologetically pro-trans platform. Just weeks ago, Mamdani released a two-minute pro-trans ad set to transgender artist SOPHIE’s “It’s OK to Cry."
6. Similar results followed in New Jersey, where Dem Mikie Sherrill won decisively. Her opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, ran a platform centered around the forced outing of trans students and opposition to gender-affirming care. His campaign pushed ads accusing Sherrill of “pushing LGBTQ+ on children."
5. In Loudoun County—targeted by Trump with the revoking of federal funds after it defied his threats and upheld restroom access for trans students—voters rejected anti-trans candidate Muñoz Melendez. Instead, they elected April Moore Chandler and Ross C. Svenson, both supporters of trans rights.
4. The victories in Virginia extended far beyond the governor’s race. Up and down the ballot, Democrats scored sweeping wins. Attorney General candidate Jay Jones clinched his race, and by 11 p.m. Tuesday, Democrats were leading in 65 House of Delegates contests.

3. The first major call of the night came in Virginia, where Democrat Abigail Spanberger quickly secured victory. By 11 p.m. Tuesday, she led Republican opponent Winsome Earle-Sears by 13 points, after Earle-Sears backers spent 57% of their ad money on anti-trans ads.

2. After race after race was called, Dems won by wide margins in contests where anti-trans rhetoric dominated. For all the centrist consultants urging Democrats to “moderate” or sacrifice trans people, the results suggest the opposite: conviction, is what wins.
