Last week, a national exit poll reported that 65% of Native Americans voted for Trump. But rather than falling for MAGA politics, Native voters fell victim to bad data.

The NYS DEC has issued Air Quality Alert until midnight for the eastern Catskills, mid Hudson Valley, Great Capital Region, Taconics, Saratoga Region, Washington County and the eastern Mohawk Valley due to particulate matter from the smoke due to the wildfires. #nywx
ALT This slide shows the Air Quality Alert health info.
Gonna probably start making the move over to 🔵 sky. Feels like it’s time. I’m convergecollide over there too. Will do my best to find people over there!
Seeing various versions of this being shared in screenshots, and was surprised to look at it and realize it’s just 10 “key states”. I’m not sure how well that maps onto the country as a whole, but it feels important…
NBC exit polling. They updated it this morning so the percentages shifted, but directionally it's the same.

Really glad to see that New York has passed its ERA, and that voters didn’t fall for Republicans’ bad faith transphobia.
WE DID IT! #Prop1 has passed!
NY's constitution will now protect our reproductive freedoms, including abortion, and protect every New Yorker from government discrimination, regardless of gender, age, ethnicity, pregnancy status, disability status, or whether someone is LGBT.
Proud to be a New Yorker tonight 🎉

Voters in NEW YORK have made their voices heard loud and clear: REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IS A HUMAN RIGHT!
THIS. IS. HUGE!! 🔥🔥🔥
Does anyone know if Prop 1 in New York needs a simple majority or more to pass? I can’t seem to find that info anywhere.
I’ve managed to keep my election-related anxiety at a manageable level all day but HOLY SHIT it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

If I had a nickel for every time I blogged about breaking your NYT Games streak to support a union I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

The girls in my intermediate ballet class were having their very first ever pointe shoe fitting that morning. It killed me not to be at the parade, but it was wonderful to see them so happy, so I’m mostly over it 20 years later 😂
