I personally asked Rep Crockett if she would support the Stop the Bombs Act to end offensive military aid to Israel.
She pretended like she had never heard of it and asked her staffer to follow up with how she had supplied aid to Palestinians, which isn’t the same as stopping Israeli offensive funding for the IDF at all!
After tens of thousands had died it was unbelievably cynical to me.
Every time I brought this up and simply asked that she take the same stance as Talarico on this issue, many of her supporters tried to argue it didn’t matter, or they both were the same on this issue, or that I was a bigot for asking.
The Iran war and the genocide in Gaza are unbelievably horrible, and I hope Crockett’s loss in this primary will help her and others in Congress realize how Democratic primary voters are through hand waving away universal human rights and done with AIPAC aligned policies.
@ZohranKMamdani is probably the only candidate I’ve wholeheartedly supported and phone banking. I’ve said this to undecided voters and convinced them to vote for him.
Excited 2 see a progressive democrat enter GA’ Governor’s race. @ruwaromman has not only stood up 4 her constituents but also 4 humanity. Her sense of moral clarity, calm fearlessness & quiet intensity makes her stand out. I’m curious to see how she will shape the whole race
After watching an interview of @AOC & @BernieSanders few months ago, I said 2 family & few friends @AOC will be the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT of USA. Now saying publicly. Don’t know if she will run in 2028 and win but she will be the first woman president WHENEVER that happens.
Protecting the marginalized is fundamental to a model govt.
@mkstalin has this issue or this article by @tmkrishna been brought to your attention?
If Govt does not make any effort to listen to voices of the disenfranchised, a fancy slogan is only there to hide the reality.
My column @ttindia
The manner in which the Tamil Nadu government handled this issue has been deeply troubling...the way we interact with conservancy workers when they come to our homes to pick our garbage stinks of discrimination.

What just happened MTG and I agree on something? I never expected this in a million years. And yet our beloved Dems (who self congratulate themselves that they are morally superior) enabled a genocide are complicit and silent.
Cuomo’s right—Mamdani’s radical base is built on young voters brainwashed by DSA slogans and performative outrage. But let’s be clear: Mamdani didn’t win Jewish support by fighting antisemitism—he won it by hiding his alliances with BDS extremists and groups pushing “globalize the intifada.” Cuomo’s task force delivered security funding for synagogues; Mamdani delivers platitudes while his network cheers Hamas fundraisers.
NYC’s Jewish voters deserve leaders who protect them, not activists who exploit their votes to launder anti-Israel extremism. Cuomo’s mistake? Underestimating how deeply Mamdani’s machine weaponizes TikTok activism to mask his dangerous agenda.
The lesson? Mamdani’s “conscience” is a grift—and New Yorkers are waking up to the scam.
Israels starving children as we speak, the us/israel intelligence backed aid scheme GHF has killed hundreds of emaciated ppl seeking crumbs at their aid trap locations & cnns still asking this gotcha after mahmoud was falsely imprisoned for 104 days for criticizing israel.
