@souljagoyteller Bennett also has been actively campaigning for breaking up NATO so Israel can attack Turkey

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Democrats should make 2 key points. 

1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started.

2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

and then when she came to the MN State Fair, Angie Craig went to the MN GOP booth and passed out free cookies 🥴🥴

spent more time with republicans than she did w/ DFLers at the state convention.

Minnesotans deserve the truth about the Laken Riley Act.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Banning Cenk Uyghur and Hasan Piker from entering the UK is an absurd and cowardly decision from an increasingly authoritarian government.

Let us call this what it is: an attack on the freedom to criticise Israel, as well as the UK government’s own complicity in genocide.

Segregationists in the 1950’s: “equal rights for Blacks and Whites would be the end of the South and I support the South”

“[equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis] would be the end of the state of Israel and I support Israel” - Bernie Sanders

“Nothing in the world of AI is immaterial or magical.

[...] If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination, it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity.”

@keithdorejel Mamdani's 51% was with 1,114,184 votes in 3-way race
Adam's 67% was with 753,801 votes in 2-way race

@StatisticUrban @mehdirhasan It’s worse because “moderates” (basically Republicans) like Marie Gluesenkamp Perez would side with Republicans more than Democrats

“The Mosque was tied to 9/11”

I have no idea what that even means 25 years later but why would the penalty for that be some teenagers doing a mass shooting?

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.

“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”

“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@mehdirhasan And those voters that voted for Cassidy won’t vote for the Democrats in the general, they’re still Republicans.

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

"zohran called a woman auntie who isn't his auntie" is still one of my favorite fake political scandals of all time

[Rotimi Adeoye @_rotimia]

I’ve shared this, but I was canvassing for Harris in Bucks County, PA. Knocked on the door of a woman who said she was thinking about voting for her, but then Harris started campaigning with Cheney and her son died in Afghanistan, that was her red line, so she was voting Trump.

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@PhilipProudfoot Exactly Reform split the conservative vote, and now that Greens are significantly splitting the left vote, Labour is screwed

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@davidsirota The establishment never changes it’s mind without pressure. The Civil Rights Movement and Gay Rights movements (for example) weren’t successful without pressure, protests, promoting “unpopular” opinions, fighting the status quo and saying it was wrong.

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@freedomrideblog Biden could have pushed for progressive policies but now Trump is picking up easy wins like moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III drug

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

A boomer Democrat attacking the left from his death bed is generational commitment to the bit.

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@LBC @lewis_goodall The real question is why is it not appropriate for anyone to question policing methods? The MET commissioner said himself it’s not usual practice to kick people in the head multiple times.

[Jason Hirsch @JasonHirsch4]

@thomaschattwill Clinton only won in 1992 because Ross Perot split the conservative vote
