Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

It's very funny to me that the argument against municipal grocery stores (and government run enterprise in general) is that it is simultaneously terrible and will be full of empty shelves and also be so good it runs private stores out of business.

this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

Genuinely resentful of the MSM take that any new idea is somehow "radical" Fast and free transit, universal childcare, community owned stores that address food deserts -- these are not RADICAL things. They are new and innovative to NYC, but have existed elsewhere in some form for DECADES.

The NYC mayoral election is a good reminder to the haters: Competitive primaries are good, force the party to decide what we believe, and bring out voters and volunteers to build relationships and power. Do not be afraid of them!

an Andrew Cuomo scandal many seem to have forgotten about: as governor, Cuomo told the people of upstate NY town Hoosick Falls that their water was safe to drink… …while the Obama admin was warning Cuomo that their water was polluted with cancer-causing chemicals

were drinking water that contained dangerous
levels of a chemical linked to cancer and other

The response to Zohran Mamdani's campaign reminds me of the stories I've heard from ambitious, optimistic Millennials (esp. BIPOC) whose ideas are repeatedly shot down by managers, are told they don't have enough experience to be leaders, and are constantly subjected to microaggressions and racism.

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.

You can't convince me that a 70 year old sex pest millionaire with an $8000/month rent that hasn't lived here for 30 years is more qualified to lead us out of an affordability crisis versus: A 33 year old who pays $3000 for a one bedroom in Queens, the borough he's lived in since he was a child

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.
