Given the detail in Politico that Cuomo didn't know how long it takes to drive around NYC, reupping this map.

Democrats should realize now how right-wing fascists have weaponized charges of antisemitism against liberals. As @nberlat.bsky.social has written, this has a long history that spared no one the right loathes, particularly liberal Jews

The rich dude panic over what they fever dream Mamdani would do as they give Trump a pass for what he’s actively doing really tells you who’s their daddy.

What's particularly HIGHLARIOUS is that Wall Street is happily chugging along under AUTHORITARIANISM but the idea of a 33 year Mayor taxing the rich and raising corporate taxes has them "panicking." If you buy this, you're a fool.

I think it's because I'm older now and also lived through 9/11 in this country but I just find USian Islamophobia extremely pathetic and I think that the Islamophobes are losers, lol. But I imagine younger Muslims are definitely fed up with this current virulent manifestation.

It brings me no joy to report this, but it’s been almost a full day of the Mamdani candidacy, I walked from Midtown all the way to Greenwich and back, and the city is in SHAMBLES. I saw a man doing pull-up sets on scaffolding. There was a jazz band playing in the park, in front of CHILDREN!

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

Has Jake Tapper called Elon Musk antisemitic yet? Because that guy ACTUALLY is.

So. The reason it’s bad for ICE and the police to work together is not simply ‘fuck ICE’- although that’s a good big one.

Zohran Mamdani secured a landslide victory in the New York City mayoral primary despite media and his opposition being intent on trying to drum up controversy over his views on Israel and Palestine, even to the point of sweeping aside candidates’ stances on issues that affect the city.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

Even in the wake of Citizens United, there is a point at which a vastly bigger paid media war chest does not necessarily correlate with winning. That is something worth remembering and studying about tonight and the Wisconsin state supreme court race.

The reactionary-centrists that backed Cuomo & demagogued Mamdani—unwittingly, they created a referendum on their own power & preeminence. Now they have their answer. I'm talking about individuals & institutions here. Put them all out to pasture.

"Mamdani doesn't have enough experience." Folks... let's be fucking real. The last four NYC Mayors were Eric Adams, Bill de Blasio, Michael Bloomberg, and Rudy Giuliani. If you're going with the experience critique here, it's time to take a nap and try again tomorrow.

It’s also a long term smart move for him politically. In addition to earning him a staunch ally in the presumptive mayor, progressives in NY state will be ride or die for him for whatever he runs for next

Now watch the Dems follow the clear popularity of this candidate and capitalize by doing everything they can to sink him and keep him out of office

Now might be the time to put a bug in Lander's ear about running for governor. Y'all might be able to pack Hochul up too.

Who could have guess a guy who campaigned on kitchen table issues, social progressivism, and anti-apartheid turned out to be more likable than the disgraced, withered sex ghoul who kills grandmas?

the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists say they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.
