while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism. I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists. I know where my allegiance lies.

As Marcy notes,
@seamushughes.bsky.social
is doing such critically important work. Here, folks should read Judge Rodriguez's opinion (to which Marcy links) for themselves. It's a chilling account of what's become standard practice in ICE arrests these days—from a district judge who is no firebrand.

The young men in my focus group had lost money on Republican-controlled meme coins, Republican-owned sports gambling platforms, and Republican-backed meme stocks. None were interested in voting for Democrats, stating that the party didn't have their best interests at heart.

Whether it's Staten Island Republicans screaming racist epithets at Zohran Mamdani or Manhattan Democrats bringing up Andrew Cuomo's history of sexual harassment and nursing home deaths, both sides have pushed the boundaries of civil political discourse.

I appreciate Josh's elevation of the term "anti-constitutional," which is different from "unconstitutional." Deciding not to spend appropriations because you don't feel like it isn't some outré theory of the Constitution. It's just an assertion of power, a rejection of constitutionalism altogether.
