Melissa and Mark Hortman’s beloved golden retriever, Gilbert, was the first dog in Minnesota history to lie in state. His ashes sat in an urn between the Hortmans in the Capitol rotunda.

NYC, if you want Mamdani instead of Cuomo or Adams as your mayor, RIGHT NOW is the time to call all of your Democratic reps - local and national - and demand they back Mamdani. They need to hear from us RIGHT NOW. Find your reps here: reps.nyc www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/p...

"I'm running for Congress because the people of Nebraska deserve a representative who will stand up for working families, stand up for veterans and seniors, and stand up to Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies. Join us today at johncavanaugh.org #NE02"

When you fight each other instead of the fascists, imagine two frogs arguing about the temperature of boiling water.

Another primary!

Thus it begins.

Even the doggo lying in state! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is a gift that keeps on giving. "what has he seen" "GET CONTROL OF IT" the ridiculously unhelpful enhanced image, which is ALSO labeled as "computer generated" just in case you didn't know... I beg to differ with the flyer-maker, but this IS the kind of thing we need.

The scariest dissent I've ever seen. From Ketanji Brown Jackson: “Executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more...This Court’s complicity...will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions, enabling our collective demise.”

Zohran is leading so many pundits to say so many weird things lol. “Do you like capitalism?”

Truly, if anything happens to Mamdani, this country will be forever lost.

the only "illegal" thing on this land is America itself: the most unjust, law-breaking, land-breaking, soul-breaking settler colony ever on earth.

quite a 🧵

I had not heard the Gillibrand comments and she not only doesn't push back on an islamophobic caller but repeats some smear that Zohran has supported calls for a global *jihad* while sounding like Marsha fucking Blackburn, there should be party-wide calls for her resignation.

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

That primary list just keeps on growing...

on the other hand @teenvogue.com

[email protected]: New Yorkers, DO NOT rank Mamdani. Rank Whitney Tilson. Result: •Tilson got .8% of the vote •Mamdani is overwhelming Democratic nominee @washingtonpost.com: Even though the people have spoken & we have the benefit of hindsight—let us show you just how stupid and out of touch we are.

The funny (not funny at all) thing is all their predictions are bullshit ("Obama gonna take our guns away!") and all our predictions are right ("Trump will cut medicaid," "raise taxes," "bomb Iran," ad infinitum)

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

probably a good time to bring this back

Do not come for AOC unless she's called you or she will hand you your ass.

people are so fucking stupid

"THEY'LL GET OVER IT" "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE" anti-life politicians can eat a bag of dicks

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

Guess we know where to draw up the b****cades

Wait for it…

We are going to primary ALL THEIR ASSES.

lol lmao

The discourse will of course punt the truth and say "well, Cuomo was sunk by his sexual assault problems. This doesn't *actually* cm we shouldn't be centrist" You know it's coming...

GILLIBRAND ENDORSED? WTF?!

This is absolutely incredible. The polls didn't have Mamdani above Cuomo until the final round. He's gonna finish first in the first. Americans are ready for their own regime change.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa. It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;) It's so New York.

NY Post headline: “CUO-NO!”

New York, I love you, and you are not letting me down!

RESULT: Democrats have won a seat in the New Hampshire House, in the night's most important legislative special.

IF YOU ARE IN LINE, STAY IN LINE. Unless you're gonna rank Cuomo. In that case, go home.

This is a fucking outrage.

Don't ever use UPS. They lost an important package that I paid extra for guaranteed delivered overnight. They also refuse to pay the INSURED VALUE that also cost a lot extra. UPS IS A SCAM. NEVER USE.

Do the right thing NYC !!!!

This is BS. I ran for office in a red state and won with 80% of the vote. I regularly talk about my identity when I knock doors. The key is to do so a way that connects to other issues (e.g. being trans shapes how I think about ALL healthcare access, threats to education, etc.). It's that simple.
