Thank you, dear friends in the USA. It's the #BlueWednesday I hoped for 😊 The oligarchs have (hopefully) learned that democracy goes deeper than their pockets.

My biggest thanks goes to all the lawyers and activists that defended the openness and fairness of the elections, down to every single county, against attacks from the Trump administration.
I mean, look at this. What an earthquake! Source (possibly paywalled) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/elections/voter-trends-national.html

Yes, and no. I do see the massively positive trend, but I can’t escape the racism evident there. Those people aren’t going to go away quietly, one election isn’t enough to change this country. It’s going to take a lot of work.
@jwildeboer Men are just a little slow. Takes them about one to three four-year terms to realise... ^^
@jwildeboer I am crossing my fingers that Trump doesn't still manage to go nuclear like he did with march on congress a while back. I sadly do NOT expect him to go quietly and am sincerely afraid of the coming months.
@jwildeboer In addition to that: I hope the people have learned their lesson as well - not very optimistic in both respects though).
