There was a special election today in virginia and if the democrat wins it will be the first black woman in their house of reps.  Not a governor senator or congress person a farging state rep.

I was way off its an actual congressional seat

State Sen. Jennifer L. McClellan defeated conservative pastor Leon Benjamin to become the first Black woman to represent Virginia in Congress, the Associated Press projected Tuesday.

looks like a d+50 result when its normally been ~d+25

its a decently black district so their precincts probably overperformed to get this done, and nobody generally gives a shtein about specials, but hey lets take this as a good sign

We're officially the Banana Republic of Florida:

obviously this is unconstitutional (i hope) but the fact that this white supremacist feels emboldened to do this is frightening

Get ready, because our governor is prepping to run in 2024.

I mean, does anything sum up today's GOP more than "farg you we'll lie about whatever we want because no one, especially our followers, gives a shtein about the truth"?

I was asked if I wanted to attend the state hurricane conference hosted by that farghead.  In my position it would behoove me to attend conferences like that. 

I asked my boss if * I'm * the guy he wants anywhere near DeSantis?  He kinda chuckled and said we all have to do our part no matter how distasteful we think the people are in positions of political power.

I said, you're right... but... I draw the line at Fascist bullies like that POS.

So someone else is going in my place.
