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!”

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

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

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
