Just learned that the NYC Fire chief: - Has 0 firefighting experience - Was appointed after making a big donation to Eric Adams - Drives a gaudy silver Lamborghini - Quit because of Mamdani’s anti-genocide stance Sometimes the swamp drains itself. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Even Scarborough is sick of Greenblatt’s BS. Might indicate that center-right Dems are running out of patience with the ADL’s nonsense.

remember all those hot takes during the primary about how Mamdani was the candidate for rich white liberals? a "champagne socialist" ? yeah, about that

Few deserved this moment more.

The ADL is little more than a hate group at this point. Thankfully, under Greenblatt’s “leadership,” it’s sunk into total irrelevancy.

Through an unapologetically progressive platform and incredible organizing skill, he beat the GOP, the establishment of the Democratic Party, the entirety of local media, 90% of national media, a foreign government, and a wannabe dictator’s threats. Lessons to be learned (for those willing.)

The gap between the NY Times and the NY Post got a lot narrower over the course of this year. Bouie, The Cooking Section, and the Games App are the only things worth a dime at that paper.

The guy beloved by Celtics legends Larry Bird and Bill Walton?

First time I’ve felt real hope since Trump won again. LFG.

Cc fellow Cantabs:

Sad news. Was a great local business and a space for the LGBT & alt communities. www.boston.com/news/local-n...

A name tag on Boston police officers might seem like a small change. But Mayor Michelle Wu said it's especially important now, given the prevalence of masked federal agents conducting immigration enforcement.

True BernieBros remember Debra Messing being an obsessive centrist poster in ‘16. In the least surprising turn ever, she’s an insane bigot in ‘25.

Found an even *funnier* subreddit

Props to whoever framed “Fare Required” behind this shill, incredible work.

He always talks like a student called on who didn’t do the reading

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

One thing Andor gets very right as a show is that there’s nothing to be gained by sucking up to fascists for quick career advancement - they’ll discard you as soon as you’re no longer useful, and you’ll have no allies left from the bridges you burned.

The contrast between Zohran’s utter joy and the gutter racism from the MAGA/Centrist crowd would give you whiplash.

College educated renters are the base constituency for socialist politics in America. More and more people are saying it all the time in fact.

after years of painstaking research, scientists have constructed the Worst Possible Slate for Cambridge City Council elections

why would he come for online trads like this

[remembering the hillary '08 campaign spreading photos to imply obama was a muslim, as an attack on him] mmmmm.

Lmao it’s the exact opposite. I was in Europe for August and got lots of questions about Mamdani, all positive and hopeful. Bernard-Henri Lévy is a complete fraud.

The Schumer/Jeffries leadership team:

Don’t have a strong opinion on Platner but it’s amusing seeing centrists learn how loathed they are and how little influence they have on the current Dem primary electorate. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/o...

Is there a more wretched, un-American family than this Nazi couple?

Love the totally organic replies on any post about tech that makes our lives worse.

Calling Cambridge a “suburb” lol. Brookline a suburb too?

CBS becoming a propaganda outlet even quicker than I imagined.

Lmao this embarrassment was caused by one of Bari Weiss’s bloggers

Have you ever been so angry at someone that you pulled your whole ass out?

Even the Bush administration wasn’t this nakedly racist immediately after 9/11.

Congrats on her impending primary win.

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude

crazy it is almost as if weiss has been promoted beyond her ability

A guy called me “dawg” at the Y this month, but I’m a human, not a canine. I’ll be reporting him to the NY Post for this.

Seeing the entire media go full attack mode on him (à la Bernie post-Nevada) only for him to win will be champagne-worthy.

I was right about her 10 years ago.

Good thread on a dogshit article. (NESCAC grads must be beaming that they’re being called elites by Ivy Leaguers.)

From Leni Riefenstahl to…this.

The Commonwealth’s worst federal officeholder weighs in.

A good article in WaPo for a change. Loved this evisceration of KJP’s book. www.washingtonpost.com/books/2025/1...

Need this energy in Boston.

Whiny, pouty, full of validations of right-wing narratives, but … Knee = bent. Now, time to kick Jeffries to the curb with a primary.

The media went into libelous overdrive after Bernie won Nevada in 2020, and they’ve done the same since Mamdani won the primary.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

We have an absolute special in the early slot. #764 New England College is hosting #765 Maine Maritime. And you can watch it live here: team1sports.com/athleticsnec/ We have a Pitt Dad on site sending us photos all game long!

Since 1980, we will have had *20 years* of Presidents with dementia.

Kennedy never meant what he said about gold standard science and radical transparency, and never tried to seriously understand or follow science. Or to engage in reasoned decision making. As described by @drdemetre.bsky.social via @gizmodo.com gizmodo.com/irreparably-...
