Remember when I said the best way to support our campaign was donating? You can also BUY MERCH! We just restocked our store and added our new Pride shirt! Get it at katforillinois.com/store

apparently "waymos were burned" in the LA Protests earlier this month, and now every ad I see is for the UberxWaymo service that isn't for my area. I'm just saying that obviously the property damage will cost them nothing because they can campaign with the momentum, so who fucking cares they burned?

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old state assemblyman, declared victory in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary after Andrew Cuomo conceded the race. “Tonight we made history,” Mamdani said, addressing his supporters. wapo.st/44yMVoI

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

Turns out there was a more exciting message than better things aren’t possible

we ALWAYS have the power of choice. The power to choose whether to give up or persevere - to abandon something before it begins or to see it through in all its complicated, beautifully ugly ways. Do you look around and say "I can do nothing" or "I can do something"? What would your community say?

*Huge* defeat for the Status Cuomo.

Hoping we'll all have a little less patience for defeatism, moaning about the electorate and democracy, etc. We can win. It is not a given that we will. But if you aren't willing to see it as a possibility or think creatively about how to get there, politics isn't for you.

I guess you could say the people who thought Andrew Cuomo ran a better campaign than Zohran Mamdani were sequestered in echo chambers and out of touch with what people offline wanted out of a candidate

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

I hope that we can now finally put the past behind us, come together as one, end the acrimony of the last several years and let zohran mamdani usher in a new bipartisan era of politicians from both sides of the aisle wearing clothes that fit

Zohran Mamdani: "In the words of Nelson Mandela, it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City."

Friendly reminder to all the resist libs that "vote blue no matter who" includes Zohran Mamdani

The gatekeepers & establishment don't know shit about shit. They are not unbeatable. They are bluffing. Call 'em on it + fight back and they will fold.

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

Call it what it is: an attempted ethnic cleansing of the United States.

6 hr later finding out about the House impeachment vote

Mamdani should win but he's the latest example of the Democratic Party closing ranks to keep anyone young and exciting and full of energy out of the party - and then they spend countless millions on consultants trying to figure out why they're struggling with young voters

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

vagueposting about the world. cant get vaguer

talk dirty to me 🍒

NO MORE POWER ONLY DUTY!! YALL ELECTED OFFICIALS DONT HAVE POWER YOU HAVE DUTY AND OBLIGATION FFS

happy zohran day to all who celebrate

🧵 A lot of people ask me the best way they can support my campaign and right now, that's donating. If you're able, chipping in $5, $15, or $50 makes the biggest difference — and send our donation link to 3 friends while you're at it! But let me tell you how your money will be used:

vibes based world order ✨️

War, imperialism, climate change and other forms of ecological destruction are linked. Trump seeks to accelerate all of these evils. We need to resist, build alternatives, oppose war and challenge US hegemony!

Our nation and planet cannot survive four years of this. It is not sustainable.

Reason #1 that i don't think we can vote our way out of this: The gestapo has enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support since its creation in 2001, which had overwhelming bipartisan support

It is alarming that they are not ringing the alarms. I do not want to hear a replay of the drumbeat for the Iraq War - when Republicans led and the media and many Dems danced along. We need vocal, moral, rallying, decisive leadership against war with Iran, and we need it ASAP.
