My friend Abdullah, his pregnant wife, and his three children are living without shelter following bombardment by israeli forces. It would mean the world to contribute to the link attached to this tweet to help his family afford a tent, medicine, and food. ❤️

This will be the new narrative. They’ll call it underperformance despite beating 100 million dollars of AIPAC spending and everyone in the media and in both parties attacking and smearing him nonstop for months on end.
CNN is currently hitting Abdul El-Sayed on his margin of victory. You can’t make this up

Make no mistake that Democratic voters must continue the push to reject candidates in their own party bought by corporate PACs and AIPAC. Tonight proves that voters are sick of corrupt public officials who can’t be bothered to address people’s most basic needs.

voting is a political tool. the problem is, the vast majority of us think voting is our ONLY political tool & that’s where we lose power. the most radical changes to this country didn’t happen in a voting booth. vote, sure. but our political engagement cannot end there, it can’t.

For tonight to mean anything, the immediate demand/priority for the new Democratic congress must be immediately ending all funding for the catastrophic war with Iran and all military and diplomatic support for Israel.

It’s actually so sad thinking about what could’ve been possible with a mandate like this if we had an actual opposition party. Lulags across the continent bro

A pro-Medicare for All, anti-Israel progressive just flipped a red state that "centrist" Dems have failed to win for 36 years.
In the Texas governor's race, Democrat Gina Hinojosa will defeat Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, denying him a fourth term in office, ABC News projects. Hinojosa will make history as the first Hispanic governor in Texas and the first Democratic governor elected in the state since 1990.

91% of the vote in: Buffalo for the first time will have a Human Rights Commission and a Police Advisory Commission. Human Rights will get subpoena power to investigate employers, landlords -- maybe cops, too. Police will hear complaints from the public & work on policy.
I know everyone is fired up about the House & Senate races but I'm here to talk to you all about something far more local: The 11 ballot items that would update Buffalo's City Charter for the first time in a generation. Issues include human rights and police oversight.
