I can’t believe Stephen Miller and I come from the same time and place. Just bonkers to grow up on the west side of Los Angeles in the 1990s and come out of it an anti-immigration fascist.

My favorite thing on earth rn is how much DJT loves Zohran. It must drive so many people absolutely bananas

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump on Mamdani: "He's a charming guy, good looking guy"

[David Klion @DavidKlion]

The guy's great-grandfather was a Yiddish-speaking peddler who arrived at Ellis Island in 1903, and somehow New York endured his presence. No one kidnapped him off the street or sent him to a concentration camp in El Salvador.

[Michelle @D162Michele]

Probably because Ghana never colonised Europe.

WATCH — @bradlander: “You can criticize Israel and not be antisemitic. You can be an anti-Zionist and not be antisemitic. I will stand up for Palestinian human rights and firmly against bigotry aimed at Jews. They are the same job.”

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

Sorry to narrative-bust, but mathematically speaking transplants alone could not have delivered the vast majority of NYC-DSA’s victories tonight.

@DavidPSamson @yashar My deepest condolences. May her love and memory buoy you in the darkest moments of your grief.

@BookerGWash The thing is a lot of us college educated yuppies (Black and brown ones included, it me) ARE working class now bc of the complete collapse and failure of capitalism. Which is why we are organizing a wider tent that crosses race and class

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If you think there is such a thing as an ‘Islamic communist’ then you are too dumb and uninformed to be taken seriously on any issue.

[victoria marin @vixmarin]

@magi_jay “treatment” of him??? what did he do?? simply not endorse him? the expectation of blind quid-pro-quo loyalty is part of the problem here

[Rotimi Adeoye @_rotimia]

Tbh this is wrong: the left is doing well for 3 reasons. First, mod Dems failed at their central goal—stopping Trump. Second, parts of it abandoned international human rights. Third, young Black/Latino leaders have been told to wait their turn for too long, DSA gave them a shot.

[Organizermemes @OrganizerMemes]

I don't think DSA sweeping in NYC means DSA will sweep everywhere but I do think it means the winning blueprint is getting your ass up and knocking on doors for candidates you believe in

[victoria marin @vixmarin]

@kasekaiserina I know exactlyyyyy what you mean (why I still haven’t joined despite voting for their slates 98% of the time) but I do think they’re receptive to coaching/being challenged on this issue

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

@claireforny is not just born in Texas but is of literal *Native* American heritage.

Katie Miller on the other hand is a white supremacist pushing Nazi talking points.

[Zara Rahim @ZaraRahim]

last night GLARINGLY affirmed *yet again* that voters aren’t remotely as interested in excavating old tweets as consultants and media are. No one gives a shit about professional hygiene, just that someone speaks to them in the *present tense* of rent, groceries, childcare, wages

[Krystal Ball @krystalball]

What's amusing to me is that these are the same type of people who go into complete meltdown mode when leftists run as 3rd party candidates also. The truth is they just don't want anti-corporate views to have an expression anywhere in the political system.

[victoria marin @vixmarin]

@marklevinshow Went so hard I almost liked a hate tweet

[victoria marin @vixmarin]

the crash out on this app rn is wild

but one thing I’ve learned in 20 yrs of being chronically online:

here & the world are very different places

reps who do right by constituents are going to win & keep winning, period

Zohran is a perfect example

Go talk to your neighbors

[victoria marin @vixmarin]

@offbeatorbit omg I have the EXACT same feeling letter for letter

[Ruwa Romman @ruwaromman]

All of this and in particular:

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
