Poppyseeds 'n' Mulberries

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.

A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Mayor Calls BS on DHS Goons’ Wild Excuse for Violent Arrest Evanston’s Daniel Biss said agents “forced” a car crash and “beat up” bystanders, while DHS claimed a man grabbed an agent’s genitals.

The mayor of a Chicago suburb has opened investigations into DHS after immigration agents were seen kneeling on a man and striking him in the back of the head as he was handcuffed.

Mamdani’s victory is a rebuke to the failed strategies of the Democratic party | Moira Donegan The Democratic party appears listless and unprincipled, unwilling to fight because they do not believe in anything. Zohran Mamdani is the opposite of this

FUN FACT:

My favorite part of tonight's election results is that all three of the major trump endorsements (Ciattarelli, Miyares, and Cuomo) LOST bigly.

And trump handed out 53 down-ballot endorsements in New Jersey and Virginia. THEY ALL LOST.

Every. Last. One.

When I was in high school we were tasked to write an essay on a current event of our choosing. I picked the Iraq War and I wrote how the justification for the war was clearly bullshit and they were doing it just for the oil and to distract the people from other issues.

I got a D.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Republicans are such gracious losers.

Me, casting votes:

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.

Omg my honky ass cow town flipped blue

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Was the whole world rooting for Mamdani?

Yes. They in fact were. In Canada. In the UK. In France. In Germany. In Ireland and many more countries as well as here at home in every single state.

I’ve never seen a mayoral race have this effect.

Does this tell you something???
Another FUGOP!!!

“…do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now?”
This. This. This is what it’s all about.

Love me some AOC!!!
👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿💙💙💙

AOC is such a superstar and truly one of the faces of the Democratic Party. It’s official

I truly hope this momentum keeps up and the completely corrupted crime-enabling Republican Party can take their rightful place in their highly secured and super private government-funded communities… like Riker Island.

AOC is always brilliant.

Absolutely love her …. ! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Perfect. I've shouting this at TV pundits and strategists for weeks -- you don't get it. It's not longer the old two-party game. It's us against destruction of our country. All must unite to stop it❤️🤍💙

And then MSNBC follows up with Laurence O'Donnell's apologist support for Schumer's cowardice. These old folks need to say good night to their political careers if this country is going to be saved
