All jokes aside, people from across the country are invested in Zohran Mamdani winning because the people need hope.
Folks are feeling run down. Things are bleak. We need proof that our neighbors still know how to make the right choice and that change is possible.

A video of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian man in prison was leaked. The Israeli government and its supporters are upset – not at the horrific assault, but at the fact that the tape was released.

Look, I'm a Christian (of sorts) and sitting next to white Christians in a coffee shop talking "ministry" is insufferable.

My favorite claim about "Antifa" is that it's a paid gig, like the radical left has coffers of money to pay protesters while also struggling to afford to live under capitalism...

Was driving through rural Mercer, PA yesterday and there was a local No Kings rally and that had me stoked because a mass movement from cities to the country is vital to shutting down this authoritarian shift.

An important vote to continue providing commissary support to incarcerated people is happening during an off cycle Allegheny County Jail Oversight Board meeting this Wednesday at 12pm.
We need people to show up! It’s not a coincidence that it was scheduled when most people can’t attend.

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse.
It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.
