Another "Bernie Bro" with a vagina. Anti-Zionist, Jewish mathematician. NOT a Democrat. We got Trump because Obama *chose* not to deliver. Lover of our planet and of all life. No war but class war. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Such a disappointing response from you, Bernie. What the US needs to do is join forces, both political & military, with the ROTW and ENSURE the release of ALL the detainees. In the process, the entirety of the Israeli Government will have to be arrested, of course, but that'll only benefit humanity.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 9d

Children are starving in Gaza because of Israeli government policies. Hundreds of people from around the world organized a civilian flotilla to try to deliver food. Israel arrested them.

The United States must demand the immediate release of all detained Americans.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

The rule of law means future accountability must always remain possible. DHS is implying that accountability itself is illegitimate - a stunning rejection of democratic norms.

We must remain ever vigilant of those in our own party. The one thing Democrats and Republicans agree on is that they hate this man and are afraid of him. They will use any excuse to delegitimization his election - don’t let them. Stay focused and alert. They have their knives out for him. Careful.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1d

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

They’re terrified of him and that’s why we have to do everything to protect Zohran Mamdani from Republicans AND Democrats at all costs. They will kill him if a chance comes up, no question about it. R and D agree on 3 things right now: Lower taxes for rich, protect Israel and shut Mamdani down.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Far-right billionaires spent upwards of ONE BILLION last year to get young voters for Trump. They think they locked Gen Z down for good.

But we’re already registering thousands of young voters to prove them wrong and win big next November.
