Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Primary Governor Ned Lamont. Not only is he stalling progress in housing and labor, but his endorsement of Andrew Cuomo lets us know that he will pick class solidarity with his rich friends over protecting women. #believeher #protectwomen #MeToo

Zohran Mamdani is inspiring hope not just in NYC, but nationwide. Hope that change is possible, that government can work again, and that billionaires can be defeated. It’s time we chart a new path, one where the government serves the people—not just billionaires and corporations. #DontRankCuomo

Today's mainstream headlines all about "success" of U.S. bombing of Iran, leaving out "illegal" or "without approval of Congress." Likewise, stories omit when U.S. overthrew democratically elected gov't. Shah returned to power & signed over 40% of Iran’s oil fields to U.S. companies. #TeachTruth🧵
