Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez donates entire $5 million in speaking fees/sponsorship deals to fund homeless support in New York ...
AOC said

can you please send a link of this from YouTube?

If this video has not been uploaded to YT yet, will you please do so?

I have fam members who i need to see it, my “sly” way of doing so is via YT & is I watch certain vids knowing they will see it in the history & hopefully watch it themselves. 🤞🏻

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

GOP economic achievements will need revision

The mediocre depression, Black Monday, the S&L crises, the great recession, the covid crash, and finally

the great stupid depression.

During the American great stupid time*

I literally do not give a fuck. I live in a Civilization. I want everybody else in this Civilization to have their needs met and live a good life, and I want me and everybody else to pitch in to ensure everybody has those needs met. That’s the social contract of living in a Civilization.

FUN FACT:

My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.

And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.

Every. Last. One.

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

A-MEN!

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 6h

I think Dick Cheney’s death today highlighted this divide.

The Democrats who still say shit like “reach across the aisle” and praise evil people are playing to a political audience that no longer exists.

Mamdani wasn’t cruel to Cuomo in a Trumpism style, but he didn’t concede anything either.

Meredith Shiner @meredithshiner.com · 6h

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Yet Trump, Elon Musk & Stephen Miller PERSONALLY endorsed #AndrewCuomo and LOST BIGLY.

It's more than Trump not being on the ballot. Donald Trump Is NOW a Disaster for Republicans in 2026. Time for change. 🤡

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

What happened here in California tonight is a victory for the people of this country.

Donald Trump’s attempts to rig the midterm elections are backfiring.

His attempts to silence you are backfiring.

His entire presidency is backfiring.
