Wild what powerful people will just straight-up say on the record.

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 moly www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Abbas issued a statement concerning the private meeting he held with Kamala (in June, not July, the statement coming on July 1st)

Abbas went on the record in late 2024 that he would vote for Kamala Harris even though she refused any of the demands and asks of pro-Palestine organizers, including the bare minimum of having a Palestinian speaker at the DNC or accepting the invitation to meet with Arab families in Michigan.

The co-founder of the 2024 National Uncommitted Movement, Abbas Alawieh, decisively won his primary to become a State Senator in Michigan. Abbas was endorsed by both Bernie Sanders and Gretchen Whitmer. Abbas Alawieh also privately met with former VP Kamala Harris last month upon her request.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donavan McKinney wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Michigan's 13th Congressional District.

Some people are just going to have to straight up get over it.

Still true btw for those who have an odd and totally not racist obsession with bringing up Dearborn or Uncommitted every day

Do centrist Dems realize that the incentive structure they're establishing by admonishing one of the few major Arab American figures who unequivocally endorsed Harris despite nothing being conceded on Gaza? The lesson for those Arabs will be to uh, not do that again.

Congrats @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! If he wins in November, he will be the first Senate member with an advanced public health degree, which we so desperately need right now!

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

Resistance to all anti Zionists and anti capitalists will continue to get worse and more well funded. We need all hands

“Great news for the Republican Party. El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist.”

Let us begin from the beginning. What are the fundamental demands which every Marxist should make of an examination of the question of forms of struggle? In the first place, Marxism differs from all primitive forms of socialism by not binding the movement to any one particular form of struggle.

I say that believing it is worthwhile to do, but so much more challenging than it should be. Knowing how to navigate it is a skill that requires *immense* patience, and tolerance for the literal dumbest shit you’ve ever heard a human being say

For an even more soul breaking experience, try unionizing a group of exploited service workers and find out how they feel about that

Starting to think some of you need to go work in an office and play some ice breaker games so you can learn how to deal with people who are not strongly invested in politics and barely believe anything.

By which I mean a lot of self-described apolitical people start with one concern, like their healthcare being expensive and ineffective, are lured into certain online communities by the promise of fraudulent "solutions" and end up bonding with and getting radicalized into transphobic antivax freaks

Where I live in Iowa, cancer rates have skyrocketed because of deregulation of Big Ag and pesticide runoff in the water supply, and letting the people whose lives are being severely impacted by that just drift over to RFK Jr. Land is an unforced error

Not an AOC fangirl by any means but I see people criticizing her for this and I gotta say if you don't see the (legitimate) concerns behind the (illegitimate) MAHA "movement" as, at the very least, a political opportunity, you are being willfully obtuse or blinded by privilege or maybe both

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Basically the height of caricature at this point: Israel is demanding that as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, it be allowed to continue attacking Gaza.

It’s much easier to convince people that we can and should change the world when you’re actively involved in the relentless effort to do so.
