The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Commit to boycotting.
Boycotting is a powerful form of resistance - you are leveraging your economic and social power to stand up for causes you believe in. Boycotts are also the easiest form of resistance as virtually anyone can participate in a boycott... and we all should.
Are you aware of how many boycotts are (and have been) taking place right now? From Starbucks to Target to Disney, there is no lack of boycotting that you can do.
Make your activism count:
β€’ Find a boycott via the BDS Movement at bdsmovement.net
β€’ Inform yourself so you can inform others in your life. Educate yourself about the power of boycotting throughout history, the ways in which your buying power holds power, and more.
β€’ Encourage those in your life to take part in boycotts.
β€’ Use websites/apps like ethicalconsumer.org and BoyCat (boycat.io) to make ethical shopping decisions.

Jimmy Kimmel was reinstated in 6 days because Americans boycotted Disney-ABC en masse. When the will of the people is ignored, we must use our wallets to remind them who has the real power.

(And our real power isn’t even our moneyβ€”it’s our size. But money is one of the few languages they speak.)

*And the 2,000 Palestinian hostages freed from Israeli captivity. (At least
8,000 remain.)

This kind of defensiveness really isn’t it. If your record on Palestine spoke for itself, you wouldn’t need to post this.

I think we could all afford to give each other more grace on the left, but the lack of integrity in journalism isn't going to get any better if we don't unite against it.

for Palestine has lagged behind some of your progressive colleagues, so a
"no" amendment vote for removing $500 million from Israel defense funding (presented at face value) isn't unrealistic.

speaks far more to a lack of journalistic integrity than it does to a media literacy issue concentrated within the left.
Also, although you don't accept AIPAC money, with a possible Senate or presidential run in the future, and given the deference required of the Jewish electorate, your advocacy

work in government, and nowhere in the mainstream source I read regarding your "no" amendment vote was it clear that MTG's amendment was just a bad-faith amendment. The content of the bill was presented without the nuance you're saying it has. Which is really what this boils down to, and I think

I say this as someone who's supported you for years and deeply values your voice in Congress: I think this speaks to a much-needed conversation about how hard it is for the American public to extrapolate the truth from the nebulous legislative process. I have a degree in government and used to

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We need more politicians that can't be bought! From 1951 to 1959 AIPAC's original name was the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs (AZCPA). And you don't know that by design. No more lobbyist money in Congress.

The Resolution also requires that Congress be notified within 48 hours of any military action. Given that only a few Republican congressional leaders were allegedly briefed in advance, and the rest of Congress found out online, this still violates the War Powers Resolution.

Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president can act militarily in only three cases:
1️⃣ In direct self-defense (this wasn’t)
2️⃣ In response to imminent threat (this wasn’t)
3️⃣ With congressional approval (this wasn’t)

Y’all, this is a direct violation of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. Only Congress can authorize military action.

YouTube video by Middle East Eye How three terrorist groups formed the Israeli Defence Forces | The Big Picture

And just as it has shaped how Israel is taught, so too has it shaped how Palestine is erased. I encourage you to watch this video and learn the truth about Israel’s origin. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OCGt...

Since 1951, AIPACβ€”originally called the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs (AZCPA)β€”and its partner organizations have influenced what Americans learn about Israelβ€”how it’s spoken about in the news and how it’s taught in schools.

Fun fact: Did you know that three terrorist organizations formed the IOF and the Israeli government? Although that sentence reads as sensationalβ€”it isn’t. It’s just a fact. One you don’t know by design.
