The leader of a left-wing party in Brazil was convicted and sentenced to 2 years in prison for a speech he gave at a protest condemning Israeli Zionists and justifying armed resistance against Israel. The crime: "racism" against Jews.

This is the censorship scheme leftists built and use to imprison their opponents, but now they're screaming "censorship."

Meanwhile, the Right, which typically denounces "censorship," often starts defending it when it's used to punish Israel critics as "racists."

Same story throughout the democratic world: aggressive censorship in defense of Israel. Each side switching positions on whether it's just depending on the subject matter.🤷‍♂️

Immigration rhetoric indistinguishable from the Koch Brothers

[Dennis M. Hogan @dennismhogan]

I agree. A new metropolis. A new center of culture and finance. You might even say…a new london

[Ben Burgis @BenBurgis]

Probably my most conservative position is that I honestly think legalizing sports gambling was a huge mistake.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Congrats to Zohran Mamdani. Important lessons.

Focus on shifting economic power. Relentlessly. Have big ideas on how to do it.

Be joyful and authentic. Even if your ideas aren't considered "mainstream" by elites. The elites have little idea what's actually mainstream.

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

[Michael Lange @MichaelLangeNYC]

🚨I've seen enough 🚨

Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor, defeating Andrew Cuomo.

We are witnessing political history before our eyes.

[David Griscom @DavidGriscom]

The Zohran campaign has been inspiring & is a model for us all from now on. Zohran never backed off socialist principles, but did not engage in performative ultra-leftism or scolding.

Socialism is about optimism that a better world is possible, it's nice to be reminded of that.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator.

The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

Unfortunately that’s the entire problem

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

We're paying consultants millions of dollars to design a trash can. It's time to build up our public capacity again.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

AI is coming for YOUR job and jobs all across the country.

Who will benefit from this revolutionary transformation?

Will it be working class Americans or the billionaires who own the technology?

That is the economic struggle of our time.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

It’s a weird juxtaposition because why not craft a message where we aggressively reduce concentrated corporate power AND we fix bottlenecks and build more stuff?

[Ben Burgis @BenBurgis]

Vivek Chibber cutting to the heart of the issue:

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Of the 20 highest median income states, Democrats won 18 of them.

Of the 20 lowest median income states, Democrats won 3.

Yes, race and gender play a big role in politics.

But the hard truth is this - Democrats clearly aren't listening to the people we say we fight for.

[GMI @Global_Mil_Info]

The moment that Japanese Former PM Shinzo Abe was shot. Looks to be a DIY shotgun.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People can be mad at Manchin all they want, but we knew he would do this months ago.

Where we need answers from are the leaders who promised a path on BBB if BIF passed: Biden & Dem leaders. *They* chose to move BIF alone instead of w/ BBB, not Manchin.

So they need to fix it.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

When a handful of us in the House warned this would happen if Dem leaders gave Manchin everything he wanted 1st by moving BIF before BBB instead of passing together, many ridiculed our position.

Maybe they’ll believe us next time. Or maybe people will just keep calling us naïve.
