NYT trying to concoct a scandal out of Mamdani's comms people sending out press releases about like how they fixed a library, while top federal officials are in group chats with twitter nazis. Complete disgrace

Daniel Ahmad@zhugeex.com · 3d ago

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.

proud to be a part of the team that launched @irreplaceableorg.bsky.social this past week! AI is powerful and dangerous tech, and right now it's controlled by a tiny group of unaccountable bazillionaires using it to destroy our jobs, steal our work, wreck our climate, & endanger our communities.

Today we're launching Irreplaceable, a movement of ordinary Americans coming together to decide the future of artificial intelligence. Right now, some of the most important decisions on Earth are being made in a handful of rooms in northern California. 🧵

The millions in dark money that AIPAC poured into this race helped close the gap from the primary to the special election. We can't let them do it again in November.

We’ve built a winning movement unlike anything mid-Michigan has seen in decades. Our movement is grounded in real people having real conversations. We beat the lies and smears in the primary election because of our people power, and we will do it again in November.

I'm running for U.S. Senate to: Get Big Money out of our politics. End prior authorization. Pass Medicare for All. Rip ICE apart. Raise the wage. Deliver universal childcare. Secure the right to repair. Block the bombs. Save Social Security. Deliver for the people of Minnesota.

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

HOLY SHIT

It's especially galling that Haley Stevens is portraying herself as the great protector of the Jews in her campaign against a Muslim candidate, given that in 2022 she beat a wonderful Jewish Congressman in a costly primary in part by accusing him of being insufficiently pro-Israel.

There are no apathetic voters. Legit never met one. (People care!) What I’ve met are heartbroken voters. Voters who don’t believe our politics are worthy of their power, not compared to their PTA/mutual aid/worship/arts center, etc. But! when we humbly build campaigns worthy of that power?? Mannn

WHOA! Nancy Pelosi says she will vote for Massie's amendment to withhold arms from Israel despite calling it "ill-conceived!" "The American people are rightly demanding an end to a perpetual cycle of war, and the Netanyahu government cannot maintain its current course. "

NEW — I wanted to know if ICE’s newly uncovered plan to offload seven of the 11 concentration camp warehouses was actually a big deal, so I went straight to the expert: Michael Wriston of @projectsaltbox.com, which has been tracking these warehouses every step of the way. Our full convo here:

Politics can be joyful actually

Ben Phillips@benphillips76.bsky.social · 3mo ago

You need to read Mamdani’s “Mayor’s Order” repealing kids’ bedtime so they can watch the Knicks in the final. This is how to do politics with joy.

This is the message. Any Democrat willing to sacrifice trans folks—especially kids—will sacrifice anything.

Ed Markey tears into Seth Moulton: "Massachusetts deserves better than a senator who scapegoats trans kids." The crowd goes fucking wild.
