vindicated on my longheld belief that the dems could've won way more often even without giving lefties like me anything if they just poured money into the basic on the ground fundamentals instead of consultants and ads, but they don't, didn't, and won't

Lost in the discourse about establishment dems/centrists vs progressives/DSA is only one of those sides is knocking doors. Putting aside ideology for a second, DSA mobilized volunteers to knock 100,000+ doors for their candidates. That is as much their secret sauce as their broadly popular platform.

Liberal Hollywood should start making counterpart films as absurd as this. A bunch of hick car dealership owners think it's woke and transgender to treat city water, and after half the town keels over from cholera an aid group of immigrant Ivy League doctors cures them for free. Roll credits.

This reads like it's supposed to be a negative piece on Zohran but instead it shows exactly how he translated his own win into downballot success. His tactics may be cutthroat but the results are undeniable.

CALL: Darializa Avila Chevalier unseats Adriano Espaillat

VoteHub projects Claire Valdez to win the Democratic primary for New York U.S. House District 7.

My wife, who knows not a thing about basketball, is calling Knicks in 5

Beautiful night to go skating but I did take a hard spill for the first time in ages. Luckily barely a bruise but you wouldn't think that considering I tumbled and skid maybe 7 feet.

Very grim how many people are defending Platner after the newest scandal, and I can't help but notice that they're virtually all men. His behavior is inexcusable.

they should make the subway takes guy film on the 6 during rush hour just to see what people are really made of

I feel like we as a country are tied down to train tracks and every few days we find another intersecting set of tracks underneath us with a new train barreling toward us

Politics can be a team sport on behalf of the city we love. (I’ll leave the no-look passes to the Knicks for the rest of the series).

I am thrilled to have the endorsement of @mayor.nyc.gov Last year, I canvassed Uptown & the Bronx in support of candidate Mamdani's affordability agenda. Today Mayor Mamdani is endorsing our campaign to bring that affordability agenda from Washington Heights to Washington, DC. Nos fuimosssss🏎️🌬️

No alarm in new york city has any business going off for multiple minutes - you had your chance we all heard it no one cares

NYC: Joe's, 2 Bros, and most Italian dollar slice places are mid. The good stuff is from random holes in the wall run by Arabs or South Asians. Spokane: Night life is awful. Just a bunch of speakeasies in a 10-block downtown. Learn to have some fun!

Just had an extremely bizarre experience setting up an appointment where an AI agent failed to understand the type of appointment I was trying to make, but the worst part is after every time I spoke some weird fake keyboard clacking would play. Did not ask, do not want!

No fucking way democrats.org/after-action

Absolutely disrespectful plays I had in softball today where I stole second playing chicken, then later had sliding steals into third and home on the *same play.* Not even necessary since we won 16-6.

Selfie photo dump from the past couple of months (should probably just post more pics regularly idk)

Once again the problem with equating antizionism with antisemitism is eventually people will equate antisemitism with antizionism. In fact it's already happening at an alarming rate!

ok, as someone who has been in the trenches of working on and helping shape DSA's electoral strategy, these posts (and the many other dunks) have literally no idea what they're talking about. the framing that DSA hasn't been building from the ground up is deeply ignorant. a thread:

Officially interim president of my union 🎉

Top five all-time dumbest discourse on this site. I'll check back in on Jan 21, 2027.

I'm Illapa Sairitupac. I'm an anti-ICE activist, tenant organizer, and the son of indigenous Peruvian immigrants. I'm a proud Democratic Socialist running for New York State Assembly to Tax the Rich to fund the services we deserve, to make NYS build affordable housing, & to get ICE out of our state.

well hydrated women seldom make history

Game theory is firmly in the social sciences and not the analytical sciences since its results are so easy to juice. Since truly rational actors do not exist, game theory is better used to backfill how an actor determined what to do rather than determining what an actor will do.

What the hell is an electric air taxi

"There are weeks where decades happen" also applies to personal life as well

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Perfect opening day for softball (even though we lost both games)

I tried out for one softball league and now I'm in two leagues lmao

Softball selection day 🥎

I'm running for State Committee in the Bronx to advocate for a more transparent Democratic Party, support Mayor Mamdani's affordability agenda, and push back against President Trump's unconstitutional actions. But you don't have to take my word for it! christinaforstatecommittee.com 📷: Brandon Tizol

I had a dream that the Rugrats grew up and became successful employee-side labor lawyers

You could feel the union power on the CFU-UAW picket line yesterday. And you could feel it even more strongly today when they announced a deal with NYU. A huge congratulations to the faculty members who fought so hard for this victory. Power belongs in the hands of working people!

ipad baby president

Weaksauce, I want a ban on betting in prediction markets for everyone

Solidarity with my @uaw.org sisters and brothers who just went on strike at NYU ✊ The roughly 1,000 full-time non-tenure track faculty deserve fair pay, job security and family-sustained benefits. And they're going to win it.

NYU Contract Faculty are officially on strike, let's goooo

Equity traders have been running on vibes for the past 15 years which makes our carnival barker president uniquely positioned to hoodwink them every day until The Famine hits

I'll be honest I'm seeing way more crashing out by anti-Kat people than pro-Kat people, which I did not expect

just a thought: no movement should ever depend so completely on the reputation of its chosen figurehead that one of its founders is forced to make a calculation like this on behalf of its survival

See the problem with negotiations being Gay and Woman is you can only muse and hope the message got across and is agreed to, instead of like, confirming with exchanged words

Insightful article on the delay between touching the stove and actually getting burnt. The US/West is still insulated from the brunt of the immediate fallout because we source our oil from non-Gulf territory and routes. Asia, however, is getting hit big with prices $150+ in a sign of what's to come.

Organizing a union reform caucus is so much work man, why must I be compelled to do this

There is a building on fire right next to where I work

Strike has begun, 3,800 meat packing workers in Colorado have walked off the job

This is a really good thread on the impacts the war in Iran will have on oil prices and renewable energy. A 20% loss in oil supply can only be supplemented by renewables, and the change will last far longer than the destabilization. Fossil fuels are too risky!
