Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

#Mamdani is a young, privileged man who also happens to be empathetic, hard working, & intelligent. Sound familiar?

#NewYork will not be the only one to benefit from his win…..

#SheShed

"This is also a privileged man from a privileged family who's consciously standing up for the poor and working class of his city; a straight man who's defending gay and trans folks; a naturalized US citizen who's standing with the undocumented; a Muslim who's challenging both Israeli genocide and American anti-Semitism; and a Democrat who's challenging the corrupt corporate wing of his own party.
That's why he won!!!'

After republican's losing so bigly, trumpstein and his corrupt minions will be working even harder to strip American citizens of their guaranteed right to vote. They will try ANYTHING to cling to the power that allows them to enrich themselves and to go full hitler on those they deem less than.

Beware people trying to minimize Mamdani's win by comparing his number to other democrats in other races. Those other democrats didn't run a three-way race with two democrats and a republican. Getting more than 50% in a three way race is a DECISIVE win. Folks saying otherwise are just mad

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Trump and Rubio's reckless foreign aid cuts are worsening the very conflicts they claim to care about. USAID’s early warning system in Nigeria helped promote peaceful coexistence and save lives. It was cut, and Nigeria saw one of the deadliest communal violence attacks this year.

The cuts that bleed: What happens when peace programs go dark

As U.S.-funded initiatives disappear, this peace-building organization says they’re “operating blind” in one of Nigeria’s most fragile regions.

Greg Abbott - the guy who does not give a crap about Texans- offered a moment of silence for NYC after great mayoral win. He wants to keep Texas in the dark ages and can not see the blessing of something new and great for the citizens of NYC.
