This is a win

The US house, 5 or 6 governor’s, and a number of state congresses flipped this year. We had some losses in the senate, but that was a long shot anyway and 2020 looks a lot better for us and a lot worse for them.

Nevada trended even more blue. Texas nearly had an upset in the senate race, and Beto has helped develop the democratic party in Texas in ways that have not existed before.

I can’t downplay how important that is or how much of a victory tonight actually is for us.

State victories mean more people can be helped at the state and local level.

Holding onto the state level stuff into 2020? Means we can fix the fucking gerrymandering for the US house if we can pick up even more states.

Having the US house means the Republican Agenda of Governmental Destruction comes to a grinding halt. It means we can subpoena records and people from the Trump administration. It means his tax records? Are ours.

It means if trump stops the FBI investigation the House can start it up again on their own.

It means we have a democrat third in line to the presidency.

It means oversight, it means committees and investigations and it means medicare is protected, social security, obamacare.

It means if a democrat tries to gain access to a child detention camp and is refused they can then turn around and order subpoenas and investigations.

It means the only things that get passed the next two years are naming post offices and bare bones budgets.

I love how with Disney villains their songs are usually either “glorified soliloquies about their plans” or “trying to make a deal with the protagonist” but Gaston’s song is literally the whole town trying to raise his shattered ego after he got rejected from a marriage proposal given to the one woman in town that would quite obviously turn him down.

Barty Sr, did you know that your son’s boyfriend is planning on becoming a Death eater? How do you feel about that?

Barty Sr: Thank you for that information. I didn’t know that, but it’ll definitely come in handy.

My little sister wrote a “Thomas Sander vine” with @thatsthat24 and @thejoanglebook and it’s adorable and I love her

Joan: If you Drop any mnm’s on the floor they are all yours!

Thomas: (Thomas takes a whole bag and dumps it all on the floor and starts eating)

Joan: I. um. you. Well… I give up.

Thomas: (Dumping it on his head) ha! ha! ha!

Omg I’ve just found your art and I just wanted to pop in and say that your Regulus is EXACTLY how I imagine him. Love your style, keep it up 💕

thank you!! taking the chance to talk about an hc of mine about reggie getting in the quidditch team:

james and sirius joined the gryffindor team at the beginning of their second year, and since they were already promising players, the slytherins had to think of a strategy.

team captain emma vanity decided to ask the youngest black, still a first year but well skilled on the broom, to join the team and play against his brother.

despite being scared shitless reg said yes because:

1) he loved flying

2) slytherin’s youngest seeker?? cool asf

3) he missed his brother

3) emma vanity was like a big sis to everyone
