. . . because how often is there a chance for those? Obama back in and the medical care act unassailable! Twenty women in the Senate! 10 more and the guys will start thinking women are in the majority there. (-; Out lesbian, in the Senate, even--yay Tammy Baldwin! Yay out bi Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema making up for AZ's redness! And yay out trans woman Stacie Laughton in NH's state legislature!

Just a list of links:

The awesome firsts from this election listed at the WaPo.

The celebration of all that and more, aptly titled from Ta-Nehisi Coates, thanks to [personal profile] supergee.

Celebratory because it's a truth that needs to be faced, and I'm glad it can no longer be avoided: the race breakdown and the problem with white identity.

Just the facts, ma'am from Rachel Maddow, thanks to [personal profile] lanning.

Enjoy!

I loved Rachel Maddow's commentary. She was absolutely spot on. It was a tremendous gain in so many ways. Now we need to build on it. :))

Lovely post! So much good stuff this time and I usually don't get to say that after an election. It's fun. We should have more good elections. : )

So much goodness to enjoy and yes, Obama won in a LANDSLIDE and Liz Warren too. I'm still grinning; it more than makes up for the House still being in the re-pubs hands.

I'm late to the party - but no less excited!! I don't think I even realized how anxious and scared I was until all of that was gone after the election.

Thanks for the links!! *hugs*
