A province shrugged when Ford came for Toronto’s local democracy first…
Quote: "But the sheer scale of changes proposed under Bill 140 has municipalities speaking out as well. Under the new legislation, the province will no longer need municipal consent for new landfill sites. Municipalities would lose the right to veto landfills, a right they gained only in 2020..."
Ford government’s Bill 140 gutting Ontario’s environmental rights, experts warn.

Vital political action is often local first—national second.

This is important for people in these states, as well as the nation as a whole.
NEW from me + @paulblumenthal.bsky.social: Dems' wins in state legislatures are still piling up, and just wow:

549 seats flipped.
12 chambers flipped.
13 GOP supermajorities busted.
22 Democratic trifectas.

A "shattering of Republicans’ control of the states." www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...
540-Plus Seats Flipped, 6 New Trifectas: Dem Wins At The State Level Keep Piling Up
“We are witnessing a ‘shattering of Republicans’ control of the states,” said Will Rusche of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee.

It’s like Hawaii without an income tax. (Hawaii does not fund local schools through the property tax because local school districts don’t exist in the first place.)
slight spoilers for something i'm working on but holy shit Florida is fucked

like a third of counties just don't have a residential property tax base anymore

And we have to start planning for 2028.

Enjoy our victory - we earned it. But we still have a country to save, and the first step to doing that is to repeat this performance in 2028.

We undid 20 years of GOP gains in state and local government this election. Now we build on it.

I hope they make a whole media machine for the local dems to make use of too. I want all these new local Dem governments letting people know how good government can be when it puts citizens first.
