When people power overcomes oligarch billions. This is real humanity and what we as the global majority do best 💙
ABDUL EL-SAYED WINS Our movements just defeated hundreds of millions of dollars, MAGA, and pro-genocide groups. We showed that organizing, people power, and solidarity can make history. Abdul El-Sayed will be the next U.S. Senator for Michigan! @AbdulElSayed has remained clear throughout this race: the U.S. must stop funding and arming Israeli genocide and apartheid. And he will go to D.C. to govern on a mandate of fighting for working families and to keep money in our communities - not fund genocide and war abroad. The tides are shifting. Stop Arming Israel. Free Palestine.

Tonight, Michiganders chose a tough, principled leader who will stay laser-focused on making life easier and getting stuff done. I’m thrilled that Governor-elect Benson will lead our state. Tonight, we also made history. For the first time in more than 60 years, Michigan elected back-to-back Democrats to the governor’s office. That means we can continue making historic progress for our families, our kids, and the state we’re lucky to call home. Congratulations to Governor-elect Jocelyn Benson. I look forward to seeing all the good work you will do.

From the tears of Trump getting elected two years ago, to the elation of seeing the Democrats wipe the floor across the board in the mid-terms. This is democracy in action. This is hope for all of our futures. 💙

🚨 AMERICA HAS REJECTED TRUMP Donald Trump told voters to treat him as though he were on the ballot. They did. 🔵 Democrats have seized the Senate, flipping seats in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina and Ohio and are closing in on the House. 🤩 Texas even elected a Democratic governor. This was a rebellion against Trump’s tariffs, corruption, Iran war and the soaring fuel, food and living costs his policies helped create. 🔴 Trumpism is not irresistible. Authoritarian power can be confronted and defeated through the ballot box. 🇬🇧 Britain should learn the lesson immediately. 🛑 Stop grovelling to a collapsing strongman. Stop tying our security, technology and economy to Trump’s America. Our democratic future lies with Europe.
