Becerra winning proves that this country is just done. No one votes and those who do vote for the corporate shill. No one organizes outside of elections. Things just keep getting worse. Damn it, man…

Fuck I hate California

@FreedomFlaming0 You Anarchists want ALL States Abolished.

[Rebecah 🍒 @BecahJayy]

Voting for Becerra because you “can’t vote for a billionaire” is so lazy, man. How is being funded by Chevron, Kalshi, McDonalds, and every other huge cooperation morally better??? Don’t piss me off

I’m taking this an implication that New York Post employees watch porn on their work laptops

Which are the most important elections happening today?

Nice!!!

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Stick a fork in it.

Dr. Adam Hamawy — a combat trauma surgeon and veteran who volunteered in Gaza and the West Bank, who saved Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life — will be the next Congressman from NJ-12.

He was backed by Bernie Sanders, AOC, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Justice Democrats, Our Revolution & many other lawmakers/groups on the left.

I have never called it X unironically

When was the last time u called it "Twitter"

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City.

Biggest anarchist win in the 21st century

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

He’s so based, I wish we could have more congresspeople like him

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders will introduce a bill to have the public take a 50% ownership stake in the country's biggest AI companies.

The American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act would have the government tax AI companies, take 50% of the stock, and put it under public control.

[Pubity @pubity]

2 U.S. Congressman have introduced the American High Speed Rail Act, seeking $205,000,000,000 in funding to build a nationwide high-speed rail system.

They claim America is behind both Europe and Asia on rail travel and that we need to catch up.

I’m skeptical that the sample size of <1400 is big enough for these cross tabs to actually mean anything
