“Could we have a Mamdani in LA?” Nithya won in 2020 with more votes than any councilmember in history. Eunisses won in round one as a prison abolitionist with the party saying “defund” was a dead end. As with everything, good or bad, LA been out on the cutting edge

Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future. It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.” It’s method: a venture capital approach to politics. gift link:

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

a really key point here. Cuomo's attempt at gutter Islamophobic race baiting failed because Dem voter opinion on Israel-Palestine has shifted more than 70 points since 2023, and he somehow didn't notice

The moderates and fascists are going to be terrified. They’re going to be desperate and, just like we saw with Cuomo, they’re going to increasingly side with one another. That’s what history teaches us and it’s on us to be ready for the fight. And, if we are, we will win.

At the CD1/4/13/14 election night party in Highland Park, cheers erupt as Mamdani declared victor. Chants of “si se puede” drown out the television, pausing for remarks by Cm. Raman and Hernandez. “What this shows,” shouts Eunisses, “is that the power is with the people!”

Dick Cheney was about as evil as you can get and caused incredible harm and suffering to humanity. Every breath he took made the world crueler and less free. Today we mourn his millions of victims. It’s a shame he was never made to answer for his crimes; it’s a shame he didn’t die forty years ago

Democrats have run Pennsylvania's supreme court since 2015; in that time, the court has struck down a GOP gerrymander, upheld mail-in voting, and rejected Donald Trump's election lawsuits in 2020. Three Democratic justices are up for retention tomorrow.
