Pffffffft

This is your city — that means that you belong here, you have a right to be here and to live a dignified life, whatever your background and whatever your income. wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/02/m...

All the more reason to keep saying it. www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/mi...

catholicism, the religion best-known for its embrace of the free market. many people do not know this but the Pope's primary job is to make needles large enough for the rich to get into heaven through

Whole thread, but especially this:

One of them most fascinating things about Bernie Wagenblast is that she is a *journalist.* Being a voice actor and announcer is the way she, like so many of us, cobbles together a career as a journalist. This is a VERY New York story.

Fake Journalist who has all but walked away from her Fake University has thoughts on academics. This stuff, by the way, is <exactly> why James Carville & Brian Schatz & their “faculty lounge” bullsh*t need to be banished from the Democratic Party forever.

they want you to freak out about mamdani repealing the ihra definition of antisemitism which its own author says is being abused to silence criticism of israel

it's a real symptom of widespread anti-progressive media bias that an explicitly progressive candidate is expected to feel a need to be apologetic about being progressive.

"51% of the vote in one election does not empower you to destroy a city or culture or society" -- Mark Levin after Mamdani won 50.8% of the popular vote "We have rejected, completely, utterly, undeniably, the Democrat Party" -- Mark Levin after Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote

The people who own our papers like Trump so covering this as an insane injustice and scandal like it should be is something they don't want to do

Not really discussed that often but one of the secondary & tertiary reasons Israel's public image has so rapidly declined among the youth in countries like the US, UK and Germany is because of behavior like this. Petulant, circular, nonsensical, extremely whiny. It doesn't make *Mamdani* look bad.

Alabama’s homicide rate is more than double New York City’s. Remember that the next time Tommy Tuberville criticizes NYC’s “crime and migrants.”

It's absolutely packed at Seattle City Hall as hundreds arrive for Katie Wilson's official mayoral inauguration ceremony.

Schwartz was set to host the Washington National Opera Gala in May, but he told Newsday there’s “no way” he would set foot in the Kennedy Center after President Donald Trump’s renaming.

⬇️ And will add that the institution is conservatives. Not MAGA, Q*non, or white Christian supremacist, but still conservative.

incredible

I smell McArdle

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

Mamdani’s first act as mayor? Announcing the city as an interested party in my slumlord landlord Pinnacle’s bankruptcy auction. (And a slew of executive orders addressing housing!)

i was just thinking about this. when a fascist squeaks by, it’s a mandate. when a progressive wins by a landslide, he needs to be deferential. it’s such bullshit.

What do you mean "but" - the people who warned about it were telling the truth and the outlets like Axios who helped Trump distance himself from it were lying.

Cc the democrats if they retake the White House

The worst year in one picture

Mamdani arrives to his mayoral inauguration at City Hall in a motorcade of NYC taxi cabs—workers he went on hunger strike with in 2021.

Thinking this is wrong is not radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

one point of being a billionaire is that people you pay, nominally for other reasons, will write this for you without being asked.

YES MADAM is further proof that few action directors hook up their actors like Corey Yuen! The finale is an absolute all-timer punctuated by hard hitting stunts and brilliant choreography!

I’ve decided to make a photo collage of all the dudes who call me nigger online. I’m building a folder. It’s a personal art project. I will say this right now: Oakley sunglasses are very popular.

Comical, @wsj.com.

If you think they're doing this because they care about anyone's health or even cutting costs, you're a fucking idiot. It's just hateful punishment of the poor. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

I thought it was a hoax.

Vandals. And don't believe for a second that they don't know what they're wrecking. (Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social. Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible. That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

Cry harder ya bourgeois pigs

we're just gonna have years of "the mayor of new york city claims to be a socialist and yet does not dress in an old timey barrel hung from suspenders"

FUCK YEAH

FUCK YEAH

Bernie Sanders publicly swears in Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor

Good sign for 2026 maybe: I've noticed in grifty emails sent to people who read rightwing crap (like me!) that there's a trend away from the SUPPORT TRUMP OR ELSE TRANS WOKE SKREE stuff, and toward fishy-smelling financial pitches with Trump/Musk/etc pasted on. 1/x

Wonder if politicians are ever going to notice that Mechahitler has become a CSAM generator or can musk just do no wrong

Happy new year! I mean that sincerely, cats and kitties, we have a world to win! If you didn't catch my epic Year in Re-PHEW! of 2025 last week, New Year's Day is a great opportunity -- the #1 (with links to the rest) is FREE here. On balance, it's optimistic! edroso.substack.com/p/the-year-i...

And it SLAPPED

Oh fuck.... now I'm late for this, too.

I shit you not I wrote five variations of “why hasn’t Mamdani fixed all da problems yet” today and kept deleting them because I thought they were too over the top.

So a fake reporter feeding bullshit to the ignorant maga cult, has been found peddling fake stories. And now he's running scared and asking for people to donate to his security. Hmmm, sounds like hes trying to stay relevant cause his lies are catching up to him. www.npr.org/2025/12/31/n...

Zohran Mamdani was officially sworn in as mayor of New York City early on Thursday, just after the New Year’s Eve ball dropped in Times Square. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/n...
