hey guys we finally found the looting everyone has been talking about

For the first time since WWII, every governing party facing election in a developed country this year lost vote share, via @jburnmurdoch 2024 Democrats are the red dot. Absolutely critical context to any postmortem.

The GOP fail to win a majority in the MN State House by just 13(!) votes – but a recount is definitely pending

@Redistricter Really cool - great visual for places like MN where statewide the balance has stayed similar while rural areas shift R and urban areas shift D

You can now create map animations to show change in electoral and demographic change over time

2016 to 2022 swing of Florida SD-39. HRC won this district by 20,000 votes in 2016. De Santis won by 50,000 votes in 2022.

Last year's narrow election in the VA House resulting in 51D-49R. Finally mapped out the precinct-by-precinct results.

Looking at only top-of-ticket races doesn't tell the whole story. In PA, Democrats fair far worse in local elections compared to statewides.

Data from @Redistricter

Large swaths of NE Ohio where regularly >50% of voters switched to support DeWine in 2022 after voting against him in 2018

Dua Lipa stuns as congressional gerrymander

Precinct-level results should be compiled by the federal government. It's crazy how inaccessible this basic democracy data is

One in thirteen homeowners in the US are #uninsured 😧 (that's over $1.6 TRILLION in property value) Data from @ConsumerFed

💅 "“When I get a neighbor knocking on my door at 9:00 pm because he just can’t wait to tell me all about the fantastic 38R ride he just had, it feels like something is working." 38 Geary travel times are up to 20% faster now! 😍   sf.gov/news/mayor-bre…

🌿🗺️ Big news for climate action in Wisconsin! The new legislative maps unlock the path to a climate majority in the Assembly. Our analysis shows a Dem majority is within reach for the first time since 2008. Let's make it happen! #ClimateMajorityWI #Election2024

The idea that more immigration is a bad thing for people in the U.S. and that more militarization can “fix” that “problem” is such a widely held elite ideology that the New York Times presents it as a fact rather than as morally abhorrent and empirically disproven bigotry.

Our state is home to the most extreme partisan gerrymander in the country. Every Wisconsin voter has a vital stake in ending gerrymandering and demanding that our voting maps accurately and fairly represent our communities. #FairMapsWI @WIFairMapsCo

Some very hard fought races - congratulations to the new majority!

But if we don't give the police more funding who will I call when my right to recklessly endanger children is infringed on???

What should the @climate_af album cover be, @OpenAI?

New charts from The Climate Brink showing just how dramatically warmer this year has been than the last 70. The last week has been nearly 2ºC above pre-industrial levels 😧
