NEW: Andrew Cuomo just conceded the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Cuomo had universal name ID, a $25M PAC backing him and tons of institutional endorsements. Mamdani is a 33-year-old socialist. The magnitude of this can't be overstated.

DIDNT I SAY THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE ON THE LEFT THAN THE RIGHT THE DEMS ARE SLIDING TO?! I SAID THAT. PEOPLE DIDNT BECOME MORE CONSERVATIVE, THEY GAVE UP. LETS GIVE PEOPLE A REASON TO HOPE AGAIN. PRIMARY THEM ALL.

'As he wrapped up his speech, Brad Lander again congratulated Mamdani, whom he cross-endorsed. And Lander, who is Jewish, declared, “We are not going to let anyone divide Muslim New Yorkers and Jewish New Yorkers.”'

WAIT ACTYUALLY?

Brad Lander showed what Elizabeth Warren should have done in 2020: unify the progressives rather than trying to stab the progressive frontrunner in the back

These are blatant misinformation campaigns fueled by racism and Islamophobia. Zohran Mamdani never sponsored a bill to shut down synagogues or Jewish non-profits; what he did was sponsor a bill to end the financial sponsorship of Israeli settlement expansion and settler violence.

I have been getting so many text messages and emails telling me that I was right about the IDF and the genocide by Israelis. A wall is breaking. What Haaretz did today with that story was massive.

Please stop assuming that too many em dashes means AI written. Some of us are producing grammatically incoherent work the honest way!

It's really funny how a lot of left twitter is so pistol-whipped by the most misanthropic assholes you've ever met that people had to say things like "sorry for libbing out" to celebrate a socialist DSA member becoming presumptive mayor of the largest city in the country

it could be a one off, but Gillibrand being forced to apologize while the manufactured hysteria over Zohran’s refusal to condemn every word in the Arabic language fades without him giving an inch feels like a watershed moment. I think we’re playing by a different set of rules now

Democrats thought universal healthcare was too radical so I guess we’ll just have to settle for no healthcare at all!

Just a vivid reminder that "Messianic Jews" are essentially indistinguishable from Nazis when it comes to how they speak about actual Jewish people.

If Zohran Mamdani explicitly said he thinks the state of Israel should be dismantled, he would be fucking assassinated. Like can we please pay attention to the gulf between “What the world should be like” and “What the world is actually like”

Why do people get so angry when you tell them that fabric softener isn't good for their laundry? Why fabric softener, of all things?

It's cool that not only have we regressed on usage of the R slur, but leftist types are fully saying fat (derogatory) in hand with it. Y'all are capitulating to your enemies and you don't even know it!

Reminder that the wealthy are, at least in principle, not entitled to any more say in govt than anyone else. Mamdani meeting with these clowns is probably smart politics but “business leaders” are Just Some Guys with zero constituency and it’s bad journalism to act otherwise

The idea that “business leaders” need to approve of a mayor is a Fake Thing They Just Make Up. They are not a democratic body, no one elected them, they are Just Some Guys. To the extent they are influential it’s, by definition, the result of a corruption in democracy.

12 random teachers or sanitation workers or homeless people have as much right to vet Mandani as 12 “business leaders,” who, again, are Just Some Guys. This ring kissing routine is a distortion of democracy backed by an implied threat of campaign spending and media manipulation

seeing people reacting to the idea of handwashing underwear makes me know you all just pile your clothes, regardless of color or fabric, into the same overpacked load of laundry with hot water, too much detergent, and scent beads, then you put it all in the dryer at full heat
