Every other problem is downstream from this problem.
There are now 2,900 billionaires, and they hold $15.8 trillion. The wealth of the bottom 50% of the global population, over 4 billion people, is estimated at $3.7 trillion.

Yes, it’s only one candidate in one race. But tonight, in the largest US city, @ZohranKMamdani defeated not only the former Governor, but also the most powerful and nefarious political forces in the country, tens of millions of dollars in anti-Zohran spending, an unprecedented

Zohran Mamdani has won New York City’s mayoral race. He will be the first Muslim and first person of South Asian descent to serve as the city’s mayor. At 34 years old, he will also be the youngest person to run City Hall in modern history. https://t.co/sQYB8IgyJ7

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Now is a good time to remember that Dick Cheney's post 9/11 wars killed (conservatively) 4.5 million people and displaced over 38 million more, according to a study by Brown University.

He should have died in The Hague.
Dick Cheney, the influential GOP vice president to George W. Bush and chief architect of the "war on terror," has died. He was 84. https://t.co/BnVjNGVdft

It’s actually inexcusable for the leader of the Democratic Party not to endorse his own party’s duly elected nominee for the mayorship of the city he lives in. Failed clown car of a controlled opposition
Hakeem Jeffries again declines to endorse Zohran Mamdani, saying: "He's going to have to demonstrate to a broader electorate - including in many of the neighborhoods that I represent in Brooklyn - that his ideas can actually be put into reality."

Donald Trump mulling over whether to support @andrewcuomo or @ericadamsfornyc should tell us everything we need to know about this race. @ZohranKMamdani is the only candidate who will stand up against @realDonaldTrump’s cruel, anti-NY agenda.

How can you possibly say a country is committing genocide in the same post you justify giving them military aid. That’s fucking wild.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to

Fun fact as a child my mom asked me to do weeding for her in her garden and I told her this and that she was essentially asking me to commit genocide
Confession: I thought there was some kind of technical definition of a "weed" like I thought you could show it to a plant expert and ask "is this a flower or a weed?" and they could tell you. But no, weed is just a slur for any plant you don't personally want around

positions like Medicare for all and Abolish ICE should be minimum for every single democrat who wants to hold office. Otherwise you are not the opposition you are on the same team as conservatives

Hungary banned the country’s annual pride parade. Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday warned people to stay away from the banned parade, threatening “clear legal consequences” for anyone taking part. The community showed up, and Budapest had its largest pride ever.

Whitney Tilson essentially ran a kamikaze campaign against Zohran Mamdani. Jessica Ramos betrayed all of her principles and endorsed Cuomo to help bail her campaign out of debt and because she was bitter than Mamdani became the lefty darling. They combined for 1.2% of the vote.

Instead of doing whatever this is I would maybe spend some time thinking about why the populist corner of the Dem coalition has popular politicians people find inspiring, and why the neoliberal corner doesn’t have a single one who could draw a crowd big enough to fill a Denny’s.

It’s actually genuinely inspiring that a city that went through a devastating attack at such a massive scale—and all the Islamophobic reaction to it—can overcome petty bigotry and still see a Muslim as one of them. That’s truly what cities are all about.
24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11 Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City
