Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

For years people made fun of big tech for inventing things that already exist and they responded with their magnum opus: inventing fascism. Incredible work

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Nigel Farage to promise business deregulation in economic policy speech Reform UK leader to set out β€˜pro-entrepreneurship’ agenda while rowing back on tax cuts pledge

Nigel Farage to promise business deregulation.

Translation - Human, employment, consumer, environmental rights will be thrashed. Real wage cuts. Corporate abuses, profiteering unchecked.

Pledge to cut govt spending - cut pensions/benefits. impose austerity. Don't be old, poor, sick, disabled.

The greatest success of the autocrats has been to disengage so many people from politics

The fewer people watching them and paying attention to what they are actually doing, the more they can get away with

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

After whatever happened in Butler, PA, when Trump got to the hospital, the first thing he said to aides was, "How is it playing? How does it look on TV?"

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers β€œjust following orders” should not be exempted.

Democratic representative urges former prince Andrew to testify over Epstein Ro Khanna, member of the House oversight panel, said Mountbatten Windsor should provide information

Absolutely right this should happen.

All the sleazebags involved with Epstein should admit the truth. Andrew.... Trump... Musk... Mandelson... Clinton... the list goes on, all with so many questions to answer.

Tragically we all know it won't happen.

'Grok' spills its code: Elon’s AI β€˜truth machine’ admits it’s wired for propaganda So much for neutrality β€” Grok confessed to 27 right-wing biases, from defending Elon Musk at all costs to pushing Israeli propaganda

The Twitter/X β€˜Grok’ AI has allegedly admitted 27 ways it has been reprogrammed to incorporate right-wing bias, including to be tilted in favour of Israel and against Palestinians and to protect far-right owner Elon Musk.
