This is all horrible, but particularly cruel is the bit about refusing to fund youth homeless shelters if they help trans people.

when trump got elected the first time, one of my close friends (15 year old girl btw) started getting regular death threats because her parents were from Iran. all this filth in reaction to zohran is absolutely leading to more little brown kids getting death threats. disgusting freaks.

this is the first campaign I’ve ever volunteered with, and I gotta say, this result fills me with hope. the first person I called phone banking was actively out canvassing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and starting chanting ‘we will win’ to me. Shout out that guy, I hope he’s as pumped up as me

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

I do think people do not consider the impact of the “liberal west” both literally and figuratively killing off the left globally. It seems kinda obvious purposely installing rightist authoritarians everywhere for 75 years will lead to lots of illiberal rightist forces, it has just come home now

Despite the talk of budget savings, Trump’s budget bill throws $156 billion at military contractors for projects that are impractical, unnecessary, and unrelated to national security. From @emmarjanssen.bsky.social: https://trib.al/aQNF3RV

It’s worth articulating why they’re afraid of Zohran or Lander being a good mayor - an outsider in city hall is a direct threat to the patronage and influence networks they’ve spent decades cultivating, and a direct threat to their power in the city.

The moderates got Joe Biden as president and Eric Adams as mayor and somehow their story is that they need to take back power from the left

If a pregnant woman is brain dead, in a coma, and no longer has rights to make decisions about the pregnancy according to E. Bruenig, that means we don’t have a say in what happens to our organs and corpses after we die. We are public property upon death. Quite an argument!

just anecdotally, the idea that Iranians yearn for the West to topple the regime may have had some truth to it before the Iraq war. now everyone understands that it just means death, misery, and destruction.

Peace is a very great good and war a terrible evil to be entered into at last resort. Given what we did to Libya, contrasting with North Korea, (and the unilateral cancelling of the first Iran deal for petty internal politics reasons) the Western world has defacto incentivised nuclear proliferation.

I will never vote for a politician that votes for war with Iran. Make this even more disqualifying than Iraq.

"To everyone who pulls me aside to whisper with the best intentions 'You have already won', I am sorry, but the days of moral victories are over. And as my father told me years ago, 'When the Right wins power, the Left writes a great book.' Those days are over too." -Zohran Mamdani

I think if the goal today was to convince people that they are way more powerful than the US military it succeeded beyond all imagination. Masterful gambit sir

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric

there was a strain of thought among left-liberals, much stronger in the Obama era, that a particularly ambitious young person who was upset about the government should get in there and "change it from the inside;" a theory which has found increasingly large rakes to step on

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

one reason i roll my eyes at professional commentators who have made reasoned discourse their brand is that their actions clearly demonstrate the extent to which they believe that certain people — anyone who disagrees with them in a serious and fundamental way — are inherently unable to be reasoned

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
