Mamdani winning is a clear sign voters are deeply disappointed in the establishment Democrats. They are failing us on every level. Jeffries is a flop. Mamdani threatens his special interest donors and also his power, because young voters are sending signs it's time for new blood, not flops.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

"Sorry Islamophobes, I'm a Proud Muslim American and, Like Zohran Mamdani, I'm Not Going Anywhere" The insanely bigoted attacks on Mamdani are out of control and designed to intimidate a vulnerable minority – but they will fail. Please read/share my latest for Zeteo: zeteo.com/p/sorry-isla...

BREAKING: Medical sources say Israeli forces have killed at least 37 Palestinians in Gaza since the early hours of this morning. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/in9xdt

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza. Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

I’m trying to imagine the reaction - from the media and our pundit class - if a top ally of Joe Biden had attacked the Jewish identity of a Republican candidate. But Islamophobia is normalized in this country.

While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

My very apolitical friend just said to me ‘No one f*cks with North Korea. Why do you think that is?’ Yep. There’s a clear message for a lot of Global South and Middle Eastern countries tonight. Sadly. And it isn’t a nonproliferation message.

Earlier today we taped tomorrow’s show, and we discussed the potential for the U.S. to bomb Iran. Since taping, the U.S. has carried out several bombings. We’ll have more to say in the future, but for now our piece on Trump and the Iran Deal can help explain what got us here. youtu.be/5xnZ_CeTqyM

Unironically the thing I love about this point, is that it's a great basis to start talking to y'all about the fact that most of the people in jail in the US are just as innocent as Khalil. Many are Black folk that have been arrested with *absolutely no basis*, but wait *over a year* to see a judge.

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

The civilian wing of the MAGA movement is attempting to murder Democrats and their spouses in their homes. The state wing of the MAGA movement is arresting Democrats for performing their official duties. The MAGA movement is trying to make it illegal to oppose Trump.

Netanyahu’s illegal, unilateral attack on Iran is just his latest violation of international law. The United States must not be a part of this war. My full statement:

HAPPENING NOW: Jewish & Palestinian New Yorkers are occupying the lobby of weapons dealer Maersk to demand: #StopArmingIsrael. Follow @jvp.bsky.social for more.

When you look at Trump's cratering immigration numbers, remember what Zohran Mamdani was already doing three months ago — while the rest of the Democratic party was still twiddling their thumbs on detaining student protestors and giving ICE more power:

IDF troops have raided the Madleen, a sailboat that was carrying aid intended to break the Israeli siege on Gaza. Everyone onboard has reportedly been abducted by Israeli forces, including climate activist Greta Thunberg.

“They created Israel and because of their guilt, they allowed Israel to violate every law on the book.” Journalist Rula Jebreal joins @naomiaklein.bsky.social to discuss how Europe’s historical guilt over antisemitism has led Western countries to consistently avoid holding Israel accountable.

Israeli strikes on Gaza schools used as civilian shelters part of deliberate strategy, say sources

This man, who has human rights lawyer in his Twitter biog!, is hoping that Israel attacks the flotilla & hurts (kills?) my Zeteo colleague, & legendary activist, Greta Thunberg. To call this tweet disgusting & violent would be an understatement. But they keep telling on themselves:

“We are watching a systematic starvation of 2 million people. A live-streamed genocide & the world's silence is deadly. That is why we have to keep trying everything we can, even if the odds are against us.” Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg shares moments from the Madleen.

Dua Lipa, Brian Cox, Nicola Coughlan, Tilda Swinton, and Benedict Cumberbatch are among 300+ signers of a letter pushing Keir Starmer to “end UK’s complicity in the horrors in Gaza.” They call for government to suspend all arms sales to Israel, use all means to increase aid, and broker a ceasefire.

A reminder that none of this is true about AOC, it’s demonstrably and provably untrue, and it’s being pushed by the kind of C-list (ok, D-list?) celebs who flock to Trump and MAGA:

Irish pro-Palestine activists embrace ‘Paddystinian’ term as badge of honour

I can't stomach watching those videos of settlers rampaging because it hurts to see your people being brutalized. But on top of that, I try really hard to see people's humanity and the settlers act like monsters. Its a moral injury I cant tolerate right now.

If you want to understand how people and publications are trying to shift and pivot on Gaza… The Atlantic on killing kids in Gaza a year ago (left) The Atlantic on killing kids in Gaza now (right)

"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza *is* a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Maybe he should have sent them a strongly worded letter too.
