Israel kills more than 80 in Gaza as outrage over hunger crisis grows At least 14 people died from malnutrition in past 24 hours across Gaza, health authorities say.

We can't look away.

The Israeli government is starving children.The U.S. government needs to pull every damn lever to allow the flow of aid and to stop the slaughter.

They also want to talk about community safety and are interested in how we keep us safe outside of policing! Which also has nothing to do with trans athletes at Penn.

Pro-democracy folks: πŸ‘€ @newsweek.com piece by @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social & Tom Rogers highlights the @americanbar.org Task Force report urging states to revisit fusion voting. Re-legalizing fusion = more choice, less polarization, stronger democracy. Coalition politics beats authoritarianism.

When @workingfamilies.org knocks on doors, no one brings up trans athletes at UPenn πŸ€”

They bring up affordability and the cost of living.
They want to talk about how our entire system is rigged by design.

Fusion voting? Well that’s just math mathing.

I joined @pocan.house.gov ‬to break down the how and why fusion voting is a πŸ”‘ for third parties in #elections. #thirdparty @nywfp.bsky.social @nywfp.bsky.social

"There's a point where big money can't trump the power of organizing and good ideas – and the basic decency of everyday American voters." @mauricewfp.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org on why Musk's 'America party' misses the mark – on @thenation.com podcast bit.ly/46Lw8Ao

People across the country want to support Working Families Democrats who will stand up for us – not politicians who will become spineless jellyfish in the face of Trump's tyranny. πŸͺΌπŸͺΌπŸͺΌ

We know Adelita will hit the ground running, and we will have her back Day 1. πŸ’ͺ🏿

Her historic triumph last night showed us what we saw in New York's mayoral race last month: It's not enough to elect just anyone with a β€œD” by their name.

This is not a regular moment.

And voters know that.

Congratulations @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on her decisive victory in Arizona on Tuesday night! 🎊🎊

She ran a campaign that was laser focused on affordability and the needs of people who work for a living.

From @leedrutman.bsky.social to Elon Musk: If you’re serious about building a third party, then start with #FusionVoting. It’s how minor parties gain real powerβ€”by cross-nominating major party candidates and showing where their votes come from. Ballot lines = leverage. Third parties = power.

Elon Musk Consulted Curtis Yarvin, Right-Wing Thinker, on Third Party

Of course he did. A new political party just for billionaires and race science crackpots.

There are already two parties for billionaires. We don’t need a third.

The Democratic & Republican parties are a duopolyβ€”like Coke & Pepsi or Visa & Mastercard. They pretend to compete, but work together to crush their rivals. From banning fusion voting to rigging ballot access & campaign finance rulesβ€”they’ve locked the system down.

Republicans just passed the most dangerous bill in U.S. history. The largest transfer of wealth from everyday people to the ultra-rich in history.

In the coming weeks, we're announcing our support for challengers to those who betrayed their communities by voting for this bill.

This is such an ugly bill.

Republicans are pushing the largest transfer of wealth from everyday people to the ultra-rich in history.

If they get their way, 12 million people will lose their health care.

Courageβ€”like Zohran'sβ€”is contagious.

And that's what the GOP is trying to stamp out right now: courage in the face of cruelty.

We need leaders with a vision and real plans for how government can work for regular people.

Zohran didn’t play it safe or take easy positions. He laid it all on the line and inspired an entire city in the process.

Yesterday was a wake-up call to the political establishment.

People are tired of a status quo that isn’t working for them.

They’re tired of leaders who are disconnected from the pressures that working people are facing every day.

That’s what the Working Families Party was built for. From the biggest city to the smallest of towns, we’re electing a new generation of candidates who will put working people first.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign has sent shockwaves across the country and shown what’s possible when candidates have the courage to stay true to their values and speak authentically to working people.

If we want to win back working-class voters, we need leaders who will put working people at the center of their vision.

That's what Zohran Mamdani did.
