Jesus would love to debate this little weasel….

The Right really is in disarray because they cannot seem to figure out if they should push “Zohran Mamdani is going to bring Sharia Law” or “Zohran Mamdani treats his wife with too much equality” as a smear campaign, so they are doing both.

No surprises here… www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“EXCLUSIVE: Zeteo Acquiring Film About Gaza Doctors That BBC Refused to Air” Big news folks! I’m proud to announce that Zeteo will be stepping up to ensure that the hugely important ‘Gaza: Doctors Under Attack’ documentary will be available to watch globally on our site from Wednesday.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Zohran’s first magazine cover since winning

Is there any more insidious myth in recent American politics than the idea that Trump and MAGA are deporting the "worst of the worst?" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

JFC. If we get out of this dark ride, rebuilding democracy will take years.

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

This. Is. Insane. Read this, please.

When you have a lot to hide and you want the American public to believe propaganda from the government instead of the truth, then a free press is your greatest enemy.

Keep you eyes on this: I assume the Congo and Rwanda meetings are to make arrangements for more third-party deportations. Or perhaps he’s ready to start shipping out “the homegrowns.” Seriously, pay attention.

1 in 6 Americans are food insecure & wealth inequality is worse now than after the Great Depression If you oppose Govt subsidized grocery stores so people can eat, but not Govt subsidized corporations that let billionaires hoard even more wealth—it isn't socialism you hate it's working class people

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court made marriage for LGBTQ couples legal nationwide in a landmark win stemming from our lawsuit. Extremist politicians have shifted their crusade to erasing trans people from public life — but we're not going anywhere. The fight may be long, but we will win.

Warren to CNBC's Joe Kernen as he fear-mongers about Mamdani being a socialist: "Where is your outrage over a Republican Party that is saying 'We want to fund every more tax giveaways for billionaires ... while we take healthcare away from everyone else'"

I know it's super early, but here's what I want from 2028 Democratic presidential candidates: how they plan to rebuild what's been destroyed, how they intend to hold the fascists accountable, and how they plan to make sure it never happens again, including new restrictions on presidential authority.

Difficult to overstate how much blood RFK and Trump will have on their hands in the coming years. Difficult to overstate how many innocent kids will die as a result of the people who cast votes for Trump last November.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

"The judicial system only works if litigants understand they have to abide by rulings they don’t agree with. If the government can simply throw up two middle fingers and keep on violating court orders, then the whole system of checks and balances is meaningless." — @lizdye.bsky.social

i feel sad for the jews who are choosing fear right now because i’ve never felt safer and more in community with my fellow new yorkers

If folks really want to make this NYC primary election all about Israel - and I don’t! - then it’s worth remembering: Netanyahu’s lawyer lost tonight to the guy who told me he’d arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York. #justsayin

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

25-point polling error across the board for the first round of voting.

My own observation is that Trump’s chances of winning the Nobel Peace Prize decreased somewhat when he rolled into office threatening to invade Greenland, annex Canada, extort Ukraine, and seize the Panama Canal.

By chance, I have come across the website below that provides the text of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You will be able to check for yourself what was written in to these documents when certain stories relating to it come up in the news. billofrightsinstitute.org/primary-sour...

Jon Finer, one of the negotiators of the JCPoA: "To people who say, how can you trust Iran? You didn't have to trust Iran under [the JCPoA]. There were weapons inspectors... all over Iran's facilities, and they were saying right up until the minute that Trump pulled out that Iran was complying."
