The Democratic Party and its oligarch donors are spending more political capital and money on stopping Zohran Kwame Mamdani’s campaign for mayor than they are spending on stopping Donald Trump’s war in the Middle East.

If Mamdani wins, one of the key differences from Sanders' 2020 run will be that, unlike Warren's campaign, Mamdani's progressive rivals understand that they're part of a shared political project with him. Concerted effort by Lander & others to both defend Mamdani & block Cuomo.

Very smart of Prof Jia Genliang. Wish more USA economists understood what is at stake. Listen to Pavlina R Tcherneva and Stephanie Kelton !

ettingermentum Guy had 800 death threats hanging over him and walked the whole of manhattan hugging people like he was fucking Huey Long. Thats when it was over

He was polling at 1% four and half months ago. 1%.

Fantastic news out of NYC, but take a moment to recognize that we still live in a system where a thoroughly corrupt racist serial sexual harasser who killed thousands of old people could raise enough support from the worst people on the planet to mount a plausible run for office.

Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November. Congratulations, Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

A victory for the shared struggle. Inspiring.

This is funny and also literally true. The version at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC excises the "first they came for the communists" part, because it was built during the Reagan administration & including it would have raised awkward questions. x.com/poisonjr/statu…

Democrats are terrified that the party's gonna get dragged down because a Democrat is running on the same program that the most popular Democrat ever to live ran on during the high water mark of Democratic political dominance.

Can you think of a mass illness with long term effects in the last five years, Fraser? 🙄

This is a big deal. BBC refused to air a documentary IT MADE showing doctors in Gaza under attack from Israeli forces. It will now be streaming globally as of Wednesday thanks to Zeteo. Expect the level of propaganda attacks against this film to increase exponentially.

25 million Americans lost Medicaid because of Biden. Not a peep out of Democrats. They only care when a Republican does it.

In fact, Democrats in states they control could increase income taxes on the rich by the and redistribute that the middle and working class. All they'd have to do is do it.

Star Wars actor Kenneth Colley broke his arm, went to the hospital, caught COVID and died. Why? Because we don’t have mandatory masking or clean air in healthcare. Infection control has left the building. I read this news while sitting in the hospital as the lone masker 🧵

I could not possibly be filled with more rage after seeing Texas Republicans blame the National Weather Service forecast for the unspeakable tragedy that hit the girls camp. You were warned this would happen if you fired everyone!

"[M]aybe the most ... elementary of moral principles is that of universality[:] If something’s right for me, it’s right for you; if it’s wrong for you, it’s wrong for me. Any moral code that is even worth looking at has that at its core somehow." share.google/5ZFlLR3PYDGJW3…

Schools could teach students how to use cell phones (and other devices) responsibly. In reality, it would be good for adults, especially parents & teachers, to learn how use their devices responsibly too. Might be less irrational moral panic about this if they did.
