can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

BREAKING: BOSTON (AP) - Federal judge bars Trump from implementing proof of citizenship requirement to vote.

My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

When a Jew wins a landslide election in the most Jewish city in the United States, where massive numbers of Jews turned out to reject a terrorist org that lobbies for genocide:

Lander on comparisons between his flank of the Democratic Party and the Tea Party: "We're joyful about what it looks like to deliver. That is very different energy than what the Tea Party brought. We want to build something, not just break something."

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

has anyone done “goldman sacked” yet

Dem moderates' job right now is to check the far right. the years of left punching are over. your allies are democratic socialists, not republicans. it is a matter of political survival.

Dem primaries in NYC show that criticism of the Israeli government, including Benjamin Netanyahu, does not equal Antisemitism, no matter how hard the right tries to conflate the two. Many Jewish residents of NYC are opposed to the Israeli government’s actions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Feeling rather Mamdandy, myself.

when they said: "if mamdani wins, the GOP will make him the poster boy for the democrats & smear everyone as an extremist" they meant: "we are going to do that" when i saw the NYT labelling mamdani "a kingmaker" and calling winners "his picks" it was obvious they were messaging cucks like this guy

NPR is calling the Mamdani-backed candidates “far left” which I guess is shorthand for “would like to give healthcare to their constituents somewhat”

I say this with no small frustration: if Democrats stopped sucking so frequently and so badly and actually stood up for things more consistently, people wouldn’t hate them so much and they wouldn’t leave themselves vulnerable to being primaried out of power by people who do.

Zohran Mamdani and AOC aren’t the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and Mike Johnson are the main reasons democratic socialists are getting elected. Eventually, people start to realize who’s keeping them poor.

Anti-semitism is absolutely a real thing and as a Jew I am deeply nervous about the worst faith people in public life working relentlessly to rob the concept of all gravity by making it synonymous with "anyone not fully supportive of Benjamin Netanyahu and everything he does."

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

At caucus, they asked us, the party faithful, if we should add "abolish ICE" language to the Colorado Democratic Party platform. It passed with 98% approval. 98 fucking percent. That's why we're mad. Because y'all don't match our energy.

I will just say, from Oregon, that to me a big part of why Mamdani and Lander blew up on a national level was that their shared values, mutual respect and solidarity across faith traditions (even while running against each other!) was like everything beautiful about both New York and America

I say this almost every day but The MOST democratic and Democratic thing any of us can do is hold our own “team” accountable. And when we don’t, we end up in administrations like this. I like my leaders to question authority and invite criticism. If you can’t, you should step down.

Also - moderates are not going to pull us away from our headlong rush to the cliff edge of the 6th mass extinction. Just saying.

“I will be one of the Jewish members of Congress most willing to stand up for Palestinian human rights. And I will stand firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. Those are not two different jobs. They are the same job,” Brad Lander said.

one of the most heinous atrocities of the last 150 years. up there with the worst dictators in history

It takes 1.28 seconds for a message to reach us from the Moon. It takes as little as 35 minutes from Jupiter. It takes as little as 4.5 hours from Pluto. It takes at least 6-12 months from NYT reporters, plus $35 for the book containing it.

democrats who don’t take loud and firm stances in favor of the regulation if AI and prediction markets are leaving votes on the table. also easy ways to demonstrate your independence from SV billionaires www.semafor.com/article/06/2...

as a committed centrist, it saddens me that both parties are falling captive to their extremes - the right to insurrectionist cultists who want to invade american cities, and the left to socialists who want better bus service

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

in addition to every other problem here, mamdani spends the vast majority of his time in the public eye speaking about hyper-local new york city governance issues. the idea that he is preoccupied with israel at all times is based on nothing other than the fact that he is muslim

MY MAYOR MUSLIM MY CONGRESSMAN JEWISH

This is why we need science, rather than relying on 'common sense'

'Twere the ducks what done it

The message tonight is clear: the era of spineless corporate Dems in safe seats is ending. We get the party we demand, and we're demanding fighters. And primary season ain't over. More endorsements to come!

If Goldman gets whipped this bad in a district that's historically as pro-Israel as NY-10, candidates who make excuses for Israeli conduct are going to find a hostile reception in a lot of places.

NY-10, my district, is the most Jewish congressional district in the country, w/about 25% of voters identifying as Jewish. And yet tonight the district threw out pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman, and elected Brad Lander, who calls Gaza a genocide and favors an cut-off of weapons to Israel, by 30+ pts. 1/

The sentencing here is so absurd, it's a miscarriage of justice. A guy who wasn't present or involved got 30 years for moving a box of zines. The two people who helped plan January 6th, Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes got 22 years and 18 years for seditious conspiracy, respectively.

from my own perspective this is one of the greatest harms done by this government and plotting a course to reverse this damage is must be a very priority in our speech and our activism

...you want leadership ready to fight, not fold, against authoritarianism. Now that's an idea.

i’m a jewish NY-10 resident and i’m damn proud of the message we sent.

what’s happening tonight in NY is how we win the infrastructure is there, you don’t have to build it from scratch, it’s called the Democratic Party you just need to go and wrest the controls from the people who aren’t serious about doing what needs to be done, and as tonight shows, that’s doable

Algae is loving this news cycle. They’ve never been more relevant. Microzooplankton sitting at home changing the channel like, what about us? we even have cilia and pseudopods, this is bullshit.

Are they actually this dumb or do they think the viewers are this dumb or are none of them this dumb and they just think it's funny

Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely

Hard to overstate just how much of the Brexit campaign was based on lies. Looking back it’s a sad case study of a country voting to immiserate itself due to the mendacity of right-wing politicians and tabloids. But it’s almost never framed that way in UK media. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The growing wave of progressive populists understand that raising taxes on billionaires is overwhelmingly popular — 77% of voters support doing so, including 71% of Independents and 65% of Republicans.

What a wild lie from Musk as well, given that USAID funding was completely halted virtually everywhere, and this was extremely publicly reported.

An underlying logic of unitary executive theory is that the President is an all knowing figure who should be granted extraordinary power, rather than a flawed individual who should be constrained

But I’m sure Iran is going to use that money to bail out American farmers like Trump and Vance said yesterday.
