OH FUCK YES WE GOT A WARTIME MAYOR
This is the best political speech I've ever heard in my life
MAMDANI CAME OUT TO JA RULE "NEW YORK" AND IMMEDIATELY QUOTED EUGENE DEBS
Cuomo has ended his political career in a steaming pile of racism, Islamophobia, hubris, and continually dismissing the 13 women who accused him of sexual harassment, and is currently "conceding" like he's still running. Girl u r not gnna be president
MAYOR ZOHRAN KWAME MAMDANI!!!!!!!!!!!

They aren't afraid of Mamdani, they are worried about what he would unleash among VOTERS. That those voters would say: "actually, we're not buying this centrist bullshit you've been shoveling for decades, we want something else." That's what's being litigated in these Dem elites are worried essays.

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

[Dick Cheney on his way to hell] My belief is I will, in fact, be greeted as a liberator

UPDATE: With Dick Cheney croaking and Zohran Mamdani rising today, Anna Wintour couldn’t have timed the death of the Teen Vogue politics desk for better effect to silence the progressive media
ON THE LITERAL EVE OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MAYOR BEING ELECTED, ANNA WINTOUR KILLS PROGRESSIVE AND PROFITABLE TEEN VOGUE POLITICS DESK WHICH HAD JUST INTERVIEWED HIM

*That’s* the headline.

(Unfortunately there’s hardly any news outlet left to run it 😭)

🚨DEI firings at CBS🚨
He asks for this to be downloaded and shared. He and his colleagues deserve so much more, but this is an easy ask. We see you CBS 1/2

keep thinking about how the mega-ruling class does not have incentive to do anything about climate change (while normal ppl painstakingly recycle to little comparable effect) and continually lie about it because they all have survival bunkers in new zealand and think they'll be personally fine

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
went to the art museum w/ sudan archives and we talked about shredding! and lots of other stuff! her new album is amazing! let's go!!
For a violinist who already shreds, on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘗𝘔, Sudan Archives is going even harder on the melodies to keep pace with the drive of the beats. “I'm shredding because I'm trying to be like Jimi Hendrix,” she says.
Sudan Archives Is Pushing the Tempo
An afternoon at the museum with the genre-smashing violinist.
