Republicans are insisting that AOC is not a "Bronx girl" like she claims but was instead raised in wealth and privilege in Yorktown Heights. (Oops, wrong photo.)

Consider the sheer tonnage of racist anti-Palestinian invective spewed by so many of Gillibrand’s own Congressional colleagues over the past 20 months (and longer). Has she ever gotten this angry about any of that?

she literally says they’re concerned with having a Muslim mayor and then pretends she didn’t say that seconds later

My statement with Alexa Avilés 🌹 愛麗莎 about Senator Gillibrand’s racist, Islamophobic remarks about Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

we've entered one of those useful, heuristic eras where you can write off certain people forever as contemptible frauds: anyone who repeats the canard that Mamdani is "antisemitic."

I’m proud of how I grew up and talk about it all the time! My mom cleaned houses and I helped. We cleaned tutors’ homes in exchange for SAT prep. Growing up between the Bronx and Yorktown deeply shaped my views of inequality & it’s a big reason I believe the things I do today!

Abusers don’t hear no.

But every time he did journalists loved it so why would he have stopped

We did some clearing of our throats here, but we shouted pretty loud (70%) Shahana Hanif rocks!

Yep

Cory Doctorow NONCONSENSUAL BLUE TICK I like it when I'm on your wavelength. x.com/gothicdisco/st…

Asked after budget announcement if she’ll continue supporting Zohran Kwame Mamdani in the general, Adrienne Adams says: “I'm a Democrat, so I'm going to support the Democratic nominee.”

I supported AOC - then I found out she spent some of her childhood in the most normal looking house I've ever seen

.Zohran Kwame Mamdani decisively won the Democratic nomination. He is a loving son and husband, and community organizer who puts the people first. The vile, Islamophobic attacks on him are disgusting and the normalization of anti-Muslim hate is dangerous.

How on earth is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez able to understand us commoners after growing up like royalty in a palatial 961 sq ft 3 bedroom 1 bath house with a detached garage, on a 0.47 acre lot, that her parents mortgaged when she was a preschooler and mom was forced to sell after her father passed.

I would be furious if I went to an Iggy Pop concert and he had a shirt on

Three cheers for three heroes

Literally. People are telling on themselves and we fucking see it.

Brad Lander does good work and works with good people. Thanks for the list.

Rahm Emmanuel thinks that the Democratic Party Tent is not big enough for him and a bunch of winning socialists. Well, there's the flap asshole, so leave! You and your buddies' brand is a failure and your main policy proposals are pathetic whines begging for Republican votes.
