I haven't been this hopeful in a looong while! People have simply had enough! This is what watching a livestreamed genocide on your phone for 1000 days does to one's mind. This is what watching Israel's impunity does to one's mind. This is what watching the audacity of billionaires, lobbyists, big tech, AIPAC does to one's mind, and last night shows we aren't powerless! Hopefully it will spread all over the US.
The shift in America isn’t subtle anymore. A country battered by inequality, rage, and exhaustion is drifting toward ideas it once swore it would never touch. As frustration deepens, socialist rhetoric is gaining ground — not because people suddenly love ideology, but because the old system looks hollow, corrupt, and incapable of protecting anyone.
We just had two progressive candidates here in NJ — both speaking out against AIPAC and the genocide in Gaza — win their Democratic primaries.
Both had to win against a lot of corporate money being thrown against them. AIPAC spent a lot of money against one of them, and she still won.
I feel like this is a progressive wildfire that is starting to spread, and Mamdani lit the match.

Beautiful to watch, really, people finally taking matters into their own hands.
