There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

This is also true for Tennessee, but Senator @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty wouldn’t say this in a million years. #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer

BECAUSE TOO MANY AMERICANS DON'T VOTE, DEMOCRACY IS IN THE PROCESS OF DYING!!! THE NATIONAL ANTHEM HAS LOST IT'S MEANING!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!

It is absurdly gratifying to hear someone talk like a human being.

Donald Trump tries fixing global warming by bringing ICE to the people. he misunderstood

divine child overthrow the tyrant king please whens myth becoming history

When will we finally see historic, unprecedented courage from (at least) one elected official? Who will finally say the words that will cut through and begin the real fight against fascism? The people are ready, but who will lead? I still believe it's coming, but I'm so tired of waiting for it.

if i catch you posting photos of you sucking Joe Biden's balls because he made an appearance somewhere... YOU get a block! YOU get a block! And if you're eating Kamala coochie in June saying she wouldn't support Israel's genocide on Gaza... YOU get a block too! STOP SUCKING DEMOCRAT DONG.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Vote Blue No Matter Who unless its a muslim guy who wants to tax rich people

In a 6-3 vote on Trump v. CASA, the MAGA Supreme Court ruled to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, limiting lower courts’ ability to broadly protect us against Trump’s onslaught of illegal and unconstitutional actions. 🧵

Again, I’d like to encourage the people who think it’s a good idea to embrace a cruel and capricious dictatorship, while making it clear no legal or legislative authority can stop them from ruining ordinary people’s lives, to keep on reading to see what usually happens next.

Zohran Mamdani's victory wasn't a one-off for progressives. I'm currently polling just single digits behind the lead, even though I was a "long-shot" candidate 3 months ago. That's because people-first politics WORK and we can't do it without you:

when Walmart has anti minority rule and zohran mamdani shirts

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
