the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

Unnecessary escalation and chaos. All this was inevitable and preventable. US and Iran were set to meet this weekend and Netanyahu deliberately blew it up with the unilateral strikes. Hopefully, cool heads intervene and prevail.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

This is a big escalation up from the Guard. That Guard has been federalized to handle crowd control and riots before but I cannot think of a single time in modern American history that active duty troops in the full time Armed Forces have been mobilized and deployed against US citizens.

. @CNN.com looks like shit right now, and deservedly so, for shamelessly hawking Jake Tapper’s book. This is perfect: “Forgetting about the fact that how fucking weird it is that the news is selling you a book about news they should’ve told you was news a year ago—for free.” ~ Jon Stewart.

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.
