Trump says we are preparing to invade Nigeria. Apparently that’s what voters said they wanted in the exit polls. Trump: “We’re going to do things to Nigeria that Nigeria’s not gonna be happy about. Guns-a-blazin!”

At the Christian prayer breakfast this week, Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said that the “principles and values that Jesus lived by underpin the role of Australia’s first law officer” and claimed that “our values and faith” guide lawmakers. Read more: rationalist.com.au/australias-a...

I find the words from Attorney-General Michelle Rowland, conflating her religious beliefs with her role as Australia's Attorney-General, to be dangerous, disturbing, shallow and ignorant. #auspol #auslaw #religion

Watching this, I wonder how far Atlas and Advance have their claws into Labor too, @lucyham.bsky.social ?

Update: The UPS cargo plane crash in Louisville, Ky., killed at least 11 people and injured several others, Gov. Andy Beshear said, adding that he expected the death toll to rise to 12 or 13. A young child appears to be among the fatalities, he added. on.wsj.com/4hKVL7R

Find this for Bluesky if you can. A wonderful video from Mamdani in his 20s, explaining how his brand of socialism cares for the dignity of everyone. And compare and contrast ...

Donald Trump was re-elected president one year ago today.

I said at the time I was hopeful America would quickly wake up to his corruption and authoritarianism.

After last night, I hope you feel that optimism too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bepjl3orz1A

Wait was he trying to talk about South America in this segment and only managed to get it right once out of five mentions?
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."

Lori Lightfoot left office two years ago and has a pretty short natural haircut, so I’m not sure what Grandpa O’Sundown is babbling about
Trump on Lori Lightfoot, whose name he can't remember: "The mayor from Chicago. The woman. The one that gets her hair done very expensively, right? Beautiful hair. She's got beautiful, luxurious hair."

Trump: "We brokered the historic peace deal that ended the war in Gaza. Jared and Steve, I don't think it's tenuous, do you? I hope it isn't because otherwise I'll have to cross it off. I'll have to say I only ended seven."

Trump's brain flits as he speaks to a business conference in Miami from boasting that "in 8 months, I ended 8 wars" to whining about "dead" teleprompters at the UN.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

They’ll insist this is a
one-off victory — something that can only happen in New York & nowhere else.

They’re wrong.

New York is the world financial capital — home of Wall Street & billionaires from across the globe.

If everyday people can defeat oligarchs here, we can defeat oligarchy anywhere.

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

More than $8 million from Mike Bloomberg.

$3 million from Airbnb's co-founder.

$3 million from the Estée Lauder family.

$2 million from Bill Ackman.

$1 million from DoorDash.

$200K from Walmart's heiress.

Zohran didn't just beat Andrew Cuomo. He beat the elite.

It is a testament to people power and humanity that this man won through all the hate.

It is an indictment of the US political and media class that he is so often labelled as "radical" or "far left"
...when his values & policies simply reflect a core commitment to human rights for all.
"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."

In his victory speech, Mamdani quoted Eugene Debs, the US socialist pioneer, because he firmly places himself in that historic tradition of the left.

He addressed Jewish people, Muslims, trans people - because the left is the antidote to a right embracing racism and hate.

The socialist left has won power in New York.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won a majority - the first candidate to win more than 1 million votes since 1969.

He did so despite an unrelenting racist smear campaign, vast sums spent by billionaires, and threats from Trump to strangle New York.

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.

This result is a reminder to us all that better things are possible, we should expect more and together we can demand change!

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and New Yorkers who voted for a mayor who believes that the government’s job is to actually make people lives better.

New York has elected a mayor that ran on a platform of putting people ahead of corporate interests and billionaires.

It should not be surprising to see that this is a popular message, but for some people (*cough - Labor*) it seems a foreign concept.
