Tune in to the latest Discourse Pod (from @discourseblog.com) to hear my story about meeting Adriano Espaillat on my block hours before his political career was ended by Darializa Avila Chevalier. What a week it has been! www.discourseblog.com/p/super-pacs...

I wrote this all the way back in 2023. It was clear then, and it is even clearer now. The Times will carry this stain on its legacy forever. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“The time is now to do what is right, and what has always been right—and there are no excuses left not to.” IMEU Policy Project Executive Director Margaret DeReus explains why unapologetic advocates for Palestinian liberation swept the ballot box in New York City this week.

"There were many factors behind these historic results, but one thing they confirmed without question is that support for Palestinian rights is driving unprecedented political change—and that nothing in American politics will ever be the same." www.thenation.com/article/poli...

more of this please :)

three (of many many) things: —the centrality of palestine as the moral and political issue of our time is real —aipac's cratering influence is real —the city that elected zohran is real and it is not going anywhere

Read my interview from yesterday with Darializa Avila Chevalier, the next congressperson from the 13th district of New York 😎 www.thenation.com/article/poli...

i live in darializa's district. i cannot begin to describe the frequency and ugliness of the attacks against her. that she has overcome that and beaten a very powerful incumbent is an objectively incredible thing

In my book a blunder is a mistake so serious it is impossible to recover from. So you can't have 70000 of them. I mean things that prompt an immediate resignation, like the mini-budget or Brexit; or poison a premiership enduringly, like Iraq. Mandelson is perhaps the closest to a bona fide blunder.

"no obvious blunders" is a wild thing to say. to pick one of roughly 70000, what about knowing that peter mandelson was an unrepentant friend of jeffrey epstein's and giving him a hugely important job anyway?

telling to see UK pundits so befuddled about Keir Starmer's downfall. He went after immigrants, the poor and the elderly, gave a top job to an Epstein acolyte, was complicit in genocide, and lied over and over again. But it's weird that people didn't like him! www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

Today in @thenation.com: I talked to @darializaforny.bsky.social about Palestine, the AIPAC millions being spent against her, her history in NYC, and, of course, the Knicks. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

a good platform for a politician to run on would be "here is how i will take specifically elon musk's money away from him"

an obscenity. we live in monstrous times

URGENT: My friend Asmaa's sister was gravely injured in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza. After a lengthy surgery, she's stable but still in dire straits. We're raising money to help her and the rest of Asmaa's family on her road to recovery. Please give if you can. chuffed.org/project/1823...

so excited to share that I contributed to @thenation.com's special issue on America at 250 I wrote about the need to reinterpret the Constitution in light of the unfinished and urgent mission of Reconstruction here's hoping I did y'all & Frederick Douglass proud 🙏🏾 www.thenation.com/article/soci...

fox news literally doing "they were saying boo-urns"

if the knicks lose it's because trump cursed them. if the knicks win it's because hatred of trump fueled them. there is no in between

donald trump is so loathed that a crowd at a sports game booed him wildly during the *national anthem* lmao

Talarico saying he's against "gender reassignment surgery for minors" to lots of nodding and impressed gestures from the Barro/Yglesias crowd and a lot of the politics press is, I think, a great example of how much the well has been poisoned on trans healthcare

. @jeetheer.bsky.social's impact....from just three weeks ago: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

barney frank made a conscious decision to spend the last weeks of his life bashing trans kids playing sports. he didn't need to do that! he wanted to do it. people are allowed to be mad about that even though he's dead.

Barney Frank died. You're going to hear a lot of eulogizing for him this week, but I am going to remind everyone that he was oddly obsessed with trans women's penises for some reason.

important piece from @chomilomd.bsky.social

hundreds of white house reporters watching the president getting shot at in front of them and then going "well back to dinner!" is so funny

ICYMI the nation was kind enough to give me some space to vent spleen and then a bunch of dorks got red ass mad at me about it in a muted thread on here that I didn't bother to check until this morning. C'mon join the fun! www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I got annoyed at the liberal podcast class shoving Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens down our throats. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
