Youth pastor voice: You know who else took on a globally important leadership role at the age of 33?

This is how you get primaried. Completely missing whats happening on the base level and not just shutting up Ive supported shit candidates because they won the primary, ya know the point of trying to win elections? You’re an elected official be a fucking team player

CNN's chief data analyst on Zohran Mamdani win: "This was a political earthquake that should have the Democratic establishment running scared."

Since May: Federal district courts have ruled against Trump admin 94% of the time. Supreme Court has sided with the Trump admin 94% of the time. A judiciary at war with itself.

when i buy whiskey from the ABC store, that's like the soviet union, to me.

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

I know a lady you might like. She's three feet away from me and about to be a Congresswoman.

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

Yes, I flipped off a bigot harassing toddlers at a drag queen story hour. No, I won't apologize for it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXd7...

Here are the 128 House Democrats who voted to table (kill) the Rep. Al Green D-TX impeachment resolution against President Trump over the Iran attacks.

Loomer is correct here: Israel does not control the U.S. Due to our military funding and diplomatic support, it’s the other way around. The pro-Israel lobby is powerful but it is only a lobby. What’s going on in Gaza is US responsibility.

Once again the most noticeable practical result of the billionaire alliance promoting Cuomo—which includes the Whitney Tilson mayoral campaign—is voters getting hit with dozens of messages saying ZOHRAN MAMDANI each day

So this is a real ad people are getting now?

13 women risked their safety and livelihoods to reveal how Andrew Cuomo treated them. It’s easy to forget just how bad it was—so let their words remind you. And share them with any voter you know who’s still on the fence. (and, help us run this as a final ad: actblue.com/donate/dream...)

"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?" No: 85% Yes: 5% YouGov / June 22, 2025

Domestic terrorist Chaya Raichik is endorsing Andrew Cuomo.

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

jesus.

"mommy why is Teheran a green crater" "well, this one video game about depression got a good review from an ex boyfriend..."

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

📢 A US Army combat veteran has a few words to express his thoughts on the oath he took. 🔥

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.

Bill Clinton’s just chilling in his living room, watching ICE kidnappings on tv, when the sex pest election trouble alarm goes off in his kitchen. “Not cuomo,” he says to himself. “Not another member of the brotherhood”

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.

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

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.

"The judge knows you're going to be scooped up by ICE agents...They arrest senators and Sen. Alex Padilla, Ras Baraka, and me in an effort to stoke fear." @bradlander.bsky.social tells Ashley Bishop on the rise in authoritarianism from ICE and the courts

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.

Do the right thing: rank me #1, Zohran #2, and DON'T RANK ANDREW CUOMO.

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.

A message from Bernie as we head into the final weekend before the election.

A beautiful afternoon to bike with @bradlander.bsky.social
