Blue Tsunami #NoKings

I live in a quiet but relatively high town where nobody protests anything. But I decided to go for a walk and put up chalk writing at the intersection saying “FDT” (F*** Donald Trump) at that intersection. Just those three letters.

Liar.

Some high quality, nonpartisan polls have Trump’s approval at around 32%. Joe Biden’s lows (or Trump’s first term except after January 6) didn’t even come close, with both of those being around 41%. I hope this ends up being a blue supernova election.

Very hot take: the world would be a better place if people could have conversations about sеx in the open as adults almost like casual friend conversations. I think we are trending in that direction because a big reason it's off limits is most religions stigmatize it.

Thank goodness. Talarico could truly be heading for a 10% margin because of the early voting data looking apocalyptic for Republicans combined with this.

The Washington Post still does produce some pretty amazing stuff. This article shows how much Trumpy's stupid arch will adversely affect Arlington National Cemetery. Including JFK's grave site. Of course, Trumpy 100% does not care. he's mocking us. He'll leave forever on 1/20/29. wapo.st/4sAGTOX

The Black Democratic-leaning voters considering voting Rogers because of disliking El Sayed are remembering they are also people of color even if they are Christian. One earlier poll had Rogers at 12% but John James, who is Black, at 1%. This got it down to 4%.

We can start a new one of PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS!

I hope the low propensity voters showing up this time for Democrats become high propensity voters in 2030 and beyond. I think they will.

I'm following all the accounts here. You should too.

Just do it!

I have a Fedora laptop with 16 GB of RAM. I use zram and swap to give myself effectively unlimited memory. It never lags for more than a second on window transitions. Linux is a resource saver, and it's easier than many people think.

Spoiler: it's Android, which is technically Linux based. (ChromeOS is also worse than Windows for the same type of reasons: forced accounts, pushes to use the cloud, and no easy removal.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=L32K...

If someone says "Mac is Linux", they are either joking, or have basic understanding of Linux's command line and see the commands work across them (or the other way around).

The blue supernova scenario is that Republicans have frontloaded their votes disproportionately and Democrats have a huge pool of voters waiting for Election Day

It's wild that Kansas is a realistic flip this year. We could get all five.

If I could guarantee the outcome of FIVE key races this cycle here's what I would choose: Texas Senate: James Talarico Texas Governor: Gina Hinojosa Kansas Senate: Adam Hamilton New Jersey 7th House: Rebecca Bennett Vermont governor: Amanda Janoo

Less than nothing because it reduces critical thinking in many cases.

The 18-29 vote is much higher than other early votes especially in NYC historically. I’m surprised at the lower unaffiliated share. That tends to be relatively R leaning in NY though it still very likely has more D votes especially this year. Mamdani’s work paid off!

Translation: Republicans are cooked.

And they won't be able to win the popular vote either because that implies losses elsewhere.

In recent elections in New Jersey, in person early voting has been the MOST Republican vote category. If that holds (no guarantee) it's an extinction level event in NJ and probably nationally given the other states

Democrats definitely aren't winning by 60 or even 40 percent nationally but still, this shows a historic loss for the GOP is coming. (But we all need to vote, assuming you haven't already).

Lots of things are unlawful by Trump.

I have thought the same thing many times.

Hidalgo County, Texas (the most Hispanic large county in America) is turning out at historic levels. Even though high turnout was bad for Democrats in 2020 and 2024, this time is very different. The electorate alone swung 13% and that's not even including the high amount of 2024 nonvoters.

‪NJ-7 is now safe D.‬

I totally agree.

I feel like it’s weird how even though college is perceived as left wing its structure is very right-libertarian. No aides. Limited accomodations. Same tests for everyone. Payments required for something that is actually free in many countries. And so on.

This is very bad news for Republicans: their turnout has weakened in red suburban areas like Montgomery County (not shown directly here) despite turnout holding strong in other areas.
