if there are reprisal terrorist attacks in the U.S. they are less likely to backed by Iran than they are to be independent actions by individuals unconnected to any state. think the San Bernardino ISIS shooting this is just how political violence works today, it's nothing specific to this conflict

Someone on Twitter posted that they had run into Philip Glass at their lower Manhattan polling place, saying nice things about Mamdani. The campaign put this up as a quote-tweet within the hour.

This is actually an opportunity to further expand resistance. Tell all the young people you know, “they are going to take away all opportunities for you and make you die in a pointless war”. As this all continues, expect more campuses to heat up when the fall semester arrives.

right now bombing Iran is incredibly unpopular. i suspect the admin is betting this will inspire retaliatory terrorist attacks against Americans that will help to manufacture consent for further escalations.

Incredible how Cuomo is absolutely DWARFING everyone else in money and spend and yet it’s still close enough that they’re pulling these stops out. They’re scared.

This is one of the stranger forms of American exceptionalism, that the United States isn't the one proactively doing/supporting all these awful things. This includes the constant sentiment that we're being "dragged" into war, as if the United States could be dragged into anything.

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

Trump’s reckless & unconstitutional strikes against Iran are a dangerous escalation of war — and threaten countless Iranian, Israeli & American lives. My thoughts are with families fearing for their safety, and the thousands of New Yorkers worrying tonight about loved ones in Iran.

As Mayor, I’ve promised to build 500,000 new homes in NYC. 50,000 of those homes will be built in thriving new neighborhoods—on just four of the city’s 12 municipal golf courses.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

What's driving me nuts about the Zionists for Cuomo brigade is that Andrew Cuomo has said some very anti-Semitic stuff in the past. This is a thing that happened.

As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life. As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

AOC to Walz: We are talking about individuals who cheered the pardoning of people who attacked the U.S. Capitol while flying the Nazi flag and the Confederate flag And they want to act offended because someone has the courage to say: if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck.

If Andrew Cuomo, a craven politician desperate for power, is putting out statements about ICE like this, that’s both a sign that the Trump administration is losing on immigration and that the pundits who are arguing we need to take a harder stance on immigration to win are full of shit.

Not the most important thing, but just to underscore the depravity... It's almost certainly the case that the Israelis put Greta on an airplane because they know she doesn't fly out of principle, so they wanted to humiliate her and get a propaganda image out of it for kicks.

The videos out of LA that are being pushed to the top of our feeds are designed, algorithmically, to outrage and enflame: the local news-ification of social media. Any analysis of these protests must engage with this moneyed media bias: the new corporate media is social media.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
