Zohran being at +53 favorability with Black voters — his best demographic — kind of kills the whole “it’s only white transplants who like him” talking point

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

"Trump, worried about surging oil prices and surprised by a resilient Iranian regime, was eager for a ceasefire since at least his first threat on March 21 to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants, according to five people familiar with the Pakistan-led back channel."

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut, the southern suburbs, the south, and Bekaa in one of the biggest escalations since the war began. Reports say hundreds were killed and injured, hospitals are overwhelmed, and rescue teams are still searching under the rubble. Source: Aljazeera & Sky News

Yes, the Strait of Hormuz is now tolled and that's bad. Also there's an entire school of little girls that will never grow up and an entire country of people who are traumatized for the rest of their lives because they thought they were going to die, and that's way, WAY worse.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

Horrifying. 100 strikes in 10 minutes across Lebanon, incl Beirut. Over 200 ppl killed and 1000+ injured by occupation's Operation "Eternal Darkness". Israel says no ceasefire on its part. Iran has responded saying Strait of Hormuz will not reopen unless ceasefire includes Lebanon & Gaza.

Iran’s Fars News Agency says all tankers passing through Hormuz have been stopped after Israel’s ‘ceasefire breach’.

Thank you for the shout-out, @andreapitzer.bsky.social 🙏

The so called ceasefire didn't even last a day. Israel is already bombing Lebanon, they just bombed an ambulance.

Feds who blinded a young protester by shooting a less-lethal projectile at close range in Santa Ana shot a second man in the face that night, Britain Rodriguez, 31, blinding him too. archive.ph/D90dN

Israel and the United States are terror states.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

Mark Rutte is a piece of shit enabler for Trump.

this is the most desperate for approval he's sounded imo

So what they’re saying is they reject the ceasefire agreement.

🚨 MAMDANI: “The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000 … We are reckoning with the long history of racism here and starting to act upon a framework that puts equity right at the center of it.” 👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙👏💙😎

I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳

PG&E is overcharging Californians to keep Diablo Canyon open, report alleges

This is a perfect example of how the press treats Democrats as if they are the only actors with any actual agency, so anything that happens is because they somehow failed to properly game the dysfunction within the Republican Party.

Oh yeah, and in practice, the US Navy lost its Bahrain base permanently. USN warships aren't going to cross the strait peacefully again.

this goes hard as fuck

Pete Hegseth has "Deus Vult" God wills it tattooed on his arm. It was the battle cry of the Crusades. He is directing a bombing campaign against a Shiite Muslim nation while comparing a military rescue to the Resurrection of Christ. The Pope called this a distortion of Christianity. He is correct.

RESULT: Democrats have flipped this school board seat in Tulsa. They ousted the conservative board member I wrote about here, who suggested that immigrant children endanger other kids.

Yeah buddy we are right back here in two weeks if not sooner.

Israel is contradicting the Pakistani Prime Minister and Iran's National Security Council, both of which have said that Lebanon is part of the ceasefire. 1.2 million people have been displaced and 1,530 have been killed in Lebanon. It's unconscionable for this war to continue.

America’s favorite sport: saying the right thing and hoping no one checks the scoreboard.

Wisconsin liberals have just won another state Supreme Court election, in what is shaping up to be a blowout. Importantly: Liberals are now sure to hold a majority on this court during the 2028 cycle and through at least 2030. New in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

The Democratic candidate in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race beat the polls by 13 percentage points. This follows an underestimation of Democrats in the 2025 statewide elections in Virginia and New Jersey. It's reasonable to question whether RV generic ballot polls are also underestimating Democrats

Bibi gets to continue his genocide in Lebanon unabated

Keep 👀 on the Waukesha Mayor race. A win for the D-aligned candidate in this historically, traditionally R-controlled area would mark a sea-change in Wisconsin politics...and would perhaps carry more political weight than the State Supreme Court race tonight. Astonishing if it happens.

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Insanity. Democrats have won the Waukesha Mayor’s race. No words can sufficiently convey how seismic this is for Wisconsin politics.

This is, again, good news for the Dems in Utah. And I also wonder how many of these new Dems are liberal voters who used to be registered Republicans to vote in their primaries, and who now have finally seen that moderate GOP options don’t really exist anymore

…I think we might have surrendered in a war because our president gave the treaty the ol’ Apple Terms and Conditions skim before clicking agree. Don’t see how this holds for two weeks. Or two days, for that matter.

Israel violated the previous ceasefire over 15,000 times in 13 months so we should expect them to violate this one, what, 500 times in 2 weeks?

From now on, before anyone in the U.S. says anything, other countries should ask: "Do you condemn your fascist regime?" So many people here expect everyone to first condemn X regime to speak about any injustice. Let's see how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot.

My immediate analysis: Trump backed off, and he wound up doing more damage to himself than anything else. Now, Russia, China AND Iran will be more emboldened thanks to his empty threats. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
