And it looks like she won downtown pretty handily anyway.

Note how the mayor-elect won by getting people in suburban wards to vote for them rather than by appealing exclusively to voters who live downtown *cough*

The hour has switched over, and we've got new Silent Auctions to look at! We've got two going right now: A pair of painted Castlevania Goblets and a hand-crafted quilt based on the Magic the Gathering Sol RIng card. Go check these out on the site, they end at 4am PT! desertbus.org/2026/prizes/...

With 205 of 206 reporting, community organizer Emily Quaile has expanded her lead to 78% for OCDSB school trustee in west-end Ottawa since this panicked tweet from local anti-LGBTQ+ trustee candidate Shannon Boschy

Voters feeling less disenfranchised and showing up more is another strong evidence why we need electoral reform towards proportional representation (which can also be ranked-choice at the same time too)

BC election data shows 52% of voters stayed home. Global data shows all things being equal proportional elections have higher turnout than systems built solely on single-winner-ridings, because proportional representation means everyone feels they have a voice.

Here's a direct link to House Dem's Judiciary Cmte report. The executive summary begins: "A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s." democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

I am by no means a smart man, but “Running for president to avoid imprisonment” should really be removed as a viable plan.

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

I wish everyone going out to vote on Tuesday stays safe and looks out for each other. I have no reason to think something dramatic will happen, but I also wouldn't put anything past this particular administration in terms of trying to avoid an embarrassing defeat.

Welp, this map is already out of date -- on Friday, a federal judge appointed by Trump dismissed the DOJ's voter data lawsuit in Utah. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Where things stand on the DOJ's voter data suits: 26 suits dismissed, 4 ongoing. In many cases, the DOJ tried to use Title III of the Civil Rights Act to obtain voter rolls. Another judge (appointed by Trump) wrote "This Court will not read [Title III] to produce such an absurd result."

The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

"Go ahead, if you want": passive, self-defeating, implies the other person already knows what they want and therefore must dislike it if they choose not to "It's good, try it sometime": exploratory, active, curious, makes no assumptions of the meaning of the other person's decisions
