Zohran Mamdani: people should have clean water Interviewer: water? the very liquid that Hamas drinks?

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

is this really the world you want your children to live in, and your children’s children,

Abolish ICE.

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.

Every time I see a picture of this guy I am reminded of Quint’s lines from Jaws. “… he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ …”

idk man if you want to convince people you're not crooked maybe don't look like a Frank Miller drawing of a politician

I can't emphasize enough how ugly and pervasive and persistent the "Mamdani hates Jews" campaign was. I'm happy that so many Jews stood strong against that vileness. Maybe people will start to understand that we've had it with being treated as a paranoid, easily manipulated single-issue bloc.

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

Right now Andrew Cuomo is at home crying like a little girl!

pretty goddamn nerdy of me to say but this kinda feels like the end of SPEED RACER

Here’s Why That’s Bad News For The Left

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

a hearty eff you for making me keep it to ten

What actor’s expression in a movie will stay with you for the rest of your life?

BREAKING: the Smile entity has endorsed Cuomo

the reaction to Mamdani's campaign is clear proof that centrism is a reactionary ideology, and has nothing to do with a pragmatic desire to win.

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

and now for something to help take my mind off of things

why should we care about Iranian sleeper cells when we already have to deal with these assholes every day

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.

The conditions at an ICE family detention facility in Texas are so bad that adults are literally physically jockeying with children for *water.* This is the desperation ICE is deliberately and, it must be said, sadistically producing. apnews.com/article/migr...

LA brethren, read this.

If this is confirmed, it means Trump gave more advance notice to the Iranians than to key members of Congress amwaj.media/en/media-mon...

history’s repeating itself and I’m only 37 god damn it

man we know, we want to know what congress is going to do about it, get back to us then, jesus christ

America once again undefeated in the Falling For It competition, guess what the prize is

the NYC mayoral election

when we scream and shout about doing things, this is what we mean. got popped and still went back again? hell yeah brother

holy shit. Cuomo halted an investigation into the Weinstein case after a donation from Weinstein’s former lawyer’s firm to his reelection campaign… guys, this was in 2018 AFTER the Weinstein exposés (multiple) had been published & the #metoo movement was ascendant

I don’t see this mentioned at all about Andrew Cuomo. He’s on Netanyahu’s legal defence team for his ICC claims. nypost.com/2024/11/25/u...

Three months ago, Zohran Mamdani confronted Trump's “border czar” Tom Homan — as most Democrats simply twiddled their thumbs after Mahmoud Khalil was taken. "How many more New Yorkers will you detain?!" "Do you believe in the First Amendment?!" Today, Khalil is freed.

Elmer Fudd lookin goobers

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

The Los Angeles Dodgers say ICE was "denied entry to the grounds by the organization"

boy that consent ain't gonna manufacture itself, is it

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Looking for an apartment or house in LA I can shoot a short film in. Empty, or can be made to look that way. DM me if you know of any such place. Thanks!
