it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

Democrats, learn from Zohran and AOC on how to win over the masses. Look at the messaging. Look at the issues. Look at how they communicate.

i am begging you to primary the do-nothing party leadership so i don't have to clip their videos anymore. free me of this curse

So happy about Mamdani winning the primary.

62% of Democrats think their party's leaders should be replaced

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

In 2021, ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

no reason not to primary chuck schumer now

Her bravery helped make tonight possible.

So many terrible people are going to be sad tonight because of Cuomo, and that makes me happy. Glad to see so many people rejecting the idea that what Democrats need is our own Trump.

Trump canceled the briefing to Congress on the Iran bombings at the last minute and provided no explanation, but the leaked report saying the operation was not as successful as he claimed is definitely fake news because the two things can’t possibly be connected.

Strong night for left: —Mamdani will finish well ahead in 1st round. —All challenged NYC Progressive Caucus councilors will win, that's 10 of them. —Left may add new councilors (e.g. some AOC- or WFP-endorsed non-incumbents up) —The more liberal (WFP-endorsed) candidates up in Syracuse and Buffalo

trump's first post about mamdani is going to be levels of racism we haven't seen since the 19th century

i gasped on the subway and read this out loud and everyone around me is very happy!!!!

Cuomo has stably been at about 35% in public polling with universal name recognition. Seems like late deciders broke for Zohran, which seems the result of an amazing field campaign and the strong “Don’t rank/vote for Cuomo” messaging coming from trusted validators.

Brad Lander made a lot of friends in this campaign.

The Democratic party does NOT have an identity crisis. We have a leadership crisis!

Cuomo: Why I'm Pretending to Live in New York Long Enough to Leave New York

Although Zohran would with a plurality without RCV, I think the candidate collaboration that RCV encouraged helped him do so well. It both underscored his positive message and elevated many voices talking about why NOT to vote for Cuomo.

Confirmed: the left incumbents have won all 4 of the New York City council races we'd highlighted in Bolts. Details on each below. boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Someone check on Debra Messing. I think she's going through some things right now after Mamdani's win.

Someone should ask all the people who said that Eric Adams was the future of the Democratic primary four years ago if they agree that Zohran Mamdani should be viewed as the future of the party. Or is that only when candidates are pro-cop and pro-billionaire?

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Lindsey Boylan, terrorized by Andrew Cuomo and his hooligans, gets to watch him go down.

Amid a bleak political moment, a glimmer of hope! Congrats @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!

Andrew Cuomo just conceded the New York Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.

We will now see corporate media use all their power to tear down Zohran Mamdani between now and November. Anyone who is focused on helping working class people and not the corporate executives is a threat to the corporate media bosses. The good news is corporate media is dying!

We had @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social out in NYC in 100-degree heat all day today, gathering reporting for this election night stunner. She could feel the momentum on the ground: prospect.org/politics/202...

Trump's ads are going to be "Look at these attractive young socialists from New York City (Zohran and AOC) smiling. Isn't it HORRIBLE?"

A DOJ employee blows the whistle on leadership, a MAGA SCOTUS gut-punch to due process, Trump's lies about Harvard, and more. Watch Popok break down all the legal chaos on a new episode of The Intersection at 8p ET/5p PT!

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

This is the building being guarded by federal troops. This is what they're protecting, in the name of law and order

This is utterly deranged

The anti Muslim racism against Mamdani is....ooooh boy. Just so pure and out in the open.

This is Shadow and Ollie. Shadow can be seen here attempting to eat his brother. And based on Ollie's reaction, this is not the first time. 13/10 for both

Mike Johnson says he believes the War Powers Act, the Nixon-era resolution designed to curb presidents' power to wage war without congressional approval, is unconstitutional.
