Zohran Mamdani’s message to Donald Trump after his historic NYC mayoral win:

“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

[Brian Schatz @brianschatz]

For the cost of the Argentina bailout we could cover the ACA tax credits for a year.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of this website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. In moments like this, we should be lowering the temperature and finding our shared humanity — not fueling more hatred and violence.

[LA Blue Dot in GA 🌊🐸 @namwella1961]

Thousands of protesters are marching through Washington, D.C. today chanting “Free DC” in mass protest of Trump’s federal takeover.

It’s not complicated: Not one more taxpayer dollar for genocide.

[Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine]

Just so we’re clear.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included.

NEW: A large crowd chases law enforcement out of Columbia Heights neighborhood in Washington, D.C. Dozens boo and chant
"ICE go home" until they return to their vehicles and leave the area. The crowd cheers and celebrate once law enforcement leaves. @NBCNews

ITV News reporting a Jewish Israeli protestor in Tel Aviv,

"I am personally a grandson of a holocaust survivor"

"My grandmother always used to say that starvation was the worst thing, the worst suffering"

"So I feel a moral obligation to end it"

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This is evil. The Israeli government is starving children to death. There is no possible justification for these policies or for any other government supporting them.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_notus]

🚨 🚨🚨 “Nearly one in three people are going multiple days without eating, according to the United Nations”

“In a video filmed Tuesday inside Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, families fretted over babies with distended bellies and tiny fists that they clenched as they cried.”

“Their small bodies are shutting down — they can’t breathe, their immune systems are collapsing”

@leloveluck & co

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Just so I’m clear… he’s introducing a bill….to repeal the bill… he voted for….two weeks ago?

[Andrey X @the_andrey_x]

Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv

They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for this stance. New generation of refuseniks is supported by the old, many of whom spent months in jail already

[prance @bocxtop]

nyc swung right in the presidential election but just nominated a Muslim socialist for mayor. this country isn't getting more rightwing, people are just fed up with cowards who don't stand for anything or care about making anyone's life better

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. Never limit your sense of morality to America's legal system.

[bro @scrungeonmaster]

can’t even knock on wood these days. that’s why it’s all going bad. “knock on laminated particle board”. go fuck yourself. that’s insane

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.
