This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing #HasanPiker.

Not white Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords?

Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good.

F*ck that noise.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

do not let a coordinated republican smear campaign become “reality.” my argument against the dangerous false conflation between zionism and judaism which in turn increases antisemitism is now turned on it’s head. zionism is not judaism. antizionism is not antisemitism.

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Yup, that’s right. Thanks @foxnews!

Elon took $38 billion from US taxpayers to make a bunch of rockets explode while he illegally cut pediatric cancer research, meals on wheels and USAID. He’s the ultimate fraud and parasite.

Trans people deserve to live full lives. Trump's Supreme Court doesn't get to take that away.

When the right comes for a trans kid who's just trying to live, we must be there — at the pool, the field, and the track. I’ll fight for a Trans Bill of Rights in Congress. But solidarity starts now.

The DSA momentum isn’t about the DSA, it’s about people.

I see all the quibbling and bickering, but not a lot of understanding.

People in NY cast votes for candidates they think actually care about what they’re going through. Same way they did for Mamdani.

But instead of reflecting, the establishment continues to project. We’ve seen it before, it’s partly how we got here.

I don’t imagine that what happened in New York could happen in Baton Rouge … yet. And when I say yet I mean YET. If a people first, economic liberation movement finds its political stride in South, its curtains.

It’s hard for a lot of Black southerners I know to critique the Dems, an elder of mine recently told me she votes Democrat OUT OF RESPECT FOR DR KING.

(I told her Dr. King might’ve been DSA, because he held some very strident anti-capitalist/anti imperialist views. She then told me to worry about my weight and not about Dr King’s legacy. That actually happened 😂😂😂😂😂😂)

I’m not saying that’s going to change, but I am saying those same people I talk to (particularly the ones under 45) aren’t frustrated. They’re tired. Frustrated needs a rally. Tired needs a change. They’re ripe for new voices.

The best outcome here would be a meeting of the minds. It would Robin reminding Batman of the ideals he started with, and Batman educating Robin on the structural realities of the world we live in, and how we make allies in that world. They then shake hands and vandalize the Joker’s reflecting pool.

That won’t happen though. Political intractability is by design. Politicians fight for their existence while forgetting about yours.

You do not matter. Threats to power matter. Threats to systems matter. They built it the way they wanted it, they’ve been milking it for years. They want their milk cheap while yours gets more expensive.

We say politics is a beauty pageant, but in actuality, it’s a slaughterhouse. You think you’re the butcher, when really, you’re the cow.

But man. Somewhere there’s a candidate that just wants you to have a living wage and healthcare. Just wants your kid not have to die in a foreign war. Maybe they can’t even get it done, but that’s sincerely what they want.

I hope you get to vote for them.

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

Jaime Harrison was a Podesta Group lobbyist for Lockheed Martin, Boeing, BP, for-profit colleges, big banks, and the credit industry

He raised a record $109 million in a doomed race vs Lindsay Graham, and lost badly

Harrison embodies why so many hate the Democratic Party

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

Last night also demonstrates the problems with AOC’s don’t rock the boat strategy. Since she has refused to endorse against sitting members, she is on the sidelines of a movement that she herself helped to kick off and logically should be leading. Missing the entire Dem Tea Party at the federal level because the once insurgent is now a de facto incumbent protector.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the va supreme court denied the results of the redistricting referendum. scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state.

And there you have it, folks.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Scammers are stealing homes from New Yorkers — and Black and Brown homeowners are being targeted the most.

We're launching the Mayor's Office of Deed Theft Prevention, led by Director Peter White, to defend vulnerable homeowners.

And we are pausing the tax lien sale for the next six months as we review and fix a broken system.

We are using every tool at our disposal to help New Yorkers stay in their homes in the city we love.
