The replies are full of horrifying jumps in people’s healthcare. We cannot proceed as a society if we price everyone out of their basic needs.

Frey's Twitter bros have been pretty sore winners. I can't imagine running an IE that racist and full of lies and then being that smug and proud of it after. Frey's team believed that winning was more important than caring for the most vulnerable in our city. We can't trust them.

For years, but especially for the past year, Democrats have been in thrall to the idea that they need to chase an imagined median voter, and adopt that voter’s positions. Mamdani’s victory shows another way: hold principles, and persuade people to share them.

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

These victories are SO important.
BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!
