A 33-year-old Democratic Socialist will become the next mayor of NYC and the worst, most corrupt people in the USA are losing their minds. God loves to see it.

TIRED: What does Zohran think about Israel INSPIRED: How does Zohran keep up that cutie patootie energy in the face of so much racism and Islamophobia

The racist, fascist Pinocchiogles tweet about deporting Zohran (and feckless AG letter) has made national news— but no sign of it anywhere in local Tennessee media. www.huffpost.com/entry/andy-o...

Convicted felon child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell receives many perks in prison. She ran a half marathon, learned to crochet, is the prison librarian, teaches etiquette to inmates lol. Meanwhile immigrants are deported for misdemeanors, being undocumented 🤷‍♀️ m.youtube.com/watch?v=PD6R...

A month into their inaugural season, the Golden State Valkyries have a valuation that is higher than what Joe Lacob paid for the Warriors 15 years ago. Bad day to be a "but the WNBA only exists because the NBA subsidizes it!" moron

if Zohran could turn NYC from a rat infested hellhole to a great city in one night in the eyes of Republicans, think what he'll do in 4 years

the Dem establishment backing a sex pest and then attacking Zohran for being Muslim is a real hit to the "Dems believe in things" partisans

Oh my God the "denaturalize Zohran" thing is even stupider than I thought, it's over his rap lyrics, we're doing the "Obama is associating with Common the hip-hop thug" thing but with Islamophobia

This nature of comments baselessly accusing Zohran of being a terrorist actively endanger his life, all amid credible death threats he's very recently faced. Anyone who says things like this is completely unfit to serve in public office to say the least

The Cubs are back, baby. Gave up 25 home runs in two games, then shut out St Louis for 25 consecutive innings. Baseball remains nonsense, but I feel 30% better about life in general when my team wins.

When you lie about your credentials, your drinking, and your leaking of classified war plans, why would anyone trust you about the air strikes?

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

The American Academy of Pediatrics has affirmed that it will continue to follow its own evidence-based childhood vaccination schedule, regardless of the recommendations made by RFK Jr.'s American Institute for Childhood Protection (AICP). That’s what responsible leadership looks like.

So it tuns out that the polls weren't just a little off...Cuomo was never anywhere NEAR this. Mamdani gives me hope in a way I haven't felt in years. He feels like the future. America, get ready for this guy to be photoshopped in a communist hat on MSNBC and represented as Voldemort on CNN.

"As a person of color living in New York City under the age of 30—with all my dreams of being able to afford to live here—his winning makes me feel like that’s actually possible." @serenaalin.bsky.social reports from inside Zohran Mamdani's jubilant watch party in Queens.

A very concerning albeit not surprising article about the state of academic freedom under Trump 2.0 by @radiofreetom.bsky.social for @theatlanticpr.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into “libertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!
