Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows.
THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

BREAKING:
Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.
Israel is bombing residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut.
A ceasefire that still allows bombs to fall on civilians is not a ceasefire.

They also shot and killed his 12 year old son to punish him for not abandoning his hospital
A doctor kidnapped from a besieged hospital, tortured and held without charge for over 500 days, would surely be called a HOSTAGE.
Unless he’s Palestinian.

I love that students are still making statements, still walking out, still talking about this - when it feels everyone, everything has “moved on” I’m glad to see this. Not because it materially changes any realities for Palestinians (and Lebanese, Iranians, etc) but because it forces everyone who witnesses it to remember the on-going, unending crimes of our country against entire peoples.

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday.
The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

AIPAC spending millions to back Haley Stevens in 2022 against Andy Levin was indeed a radicalizing moment for a lot of people in Michigan. In an interview with @daveweigel at the time, AIPAC’s president said they targeted Levin precisely because, as a synagogue president, Levin had strong standing to criticize Israel’s actions and defend Tlaib and Omar against attacks.
So Andy Levin had to be crushed.
@AIPAC never saw the hypocrisy in their targeting of someone specifically because they were Jewish. Or if they did, it didn’t stop them.
Couldn't happen in a more appropriate race, as AIPAC taking out a beloved progressive champ like Andy Levin woke a whole lot of Democrats up to the threat they represent.

BREAKING:
Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.

Because Israel is deliberately targeting them, just like they did in Gaza.
Why are medics being killed in Lebanon?
Since the ceasefire was agreed on April 17th nearly 700 people have been killed. And out of those, 20 have been medics.

This is Tyre in South Lebanon today.
Israel is leveling entire civilian neighborhoods in one of the most intense bombardments yet.
One of humanity’s oldest cities.
Is being systematically wiped out.
And not a peep from the complicit international community, of course.

Liberals think you can peace process this away. They think you can just coexist this away. That you can protest this away.
There are Palestinians who laid their lives on the line to stop this, they fought every single day to stop the theft of their land, the extermination of their people. Don’t let anyone ever convince you to condemn or forget those who used their last breaths to stop this.

Smotrich demanded the destruction of 10 buildings in Beirut for every explosive drone launched by Hezbollah. This is Nazism. There is an increasingly strong case to make that Israel is now perpetrating two genocides.

The Nazis adopted a reprisal policy, killing 50 or 100 Jews for every German killed, such as in Romania in 1941. books.google.com.py/books?id…

In the past 3 months, Israel killed more than 3,000 Lebanese people & forcibly displaced more than 1 million. Ambassador Huckabee is confused why they aren't thanking Israel for cherry tomatoes. That state of the US Empire.

Wanna know why Basque police beat @gbsumudflotilla torture survivors?
These are the same cops who've taken €1.6M in Israeli security contracts, trained by former Mossad agents, and equipped with Israeli surveillance tech.
