the thing that strikes me is it cost only $3.2 million to acquire these publications. this would be a drop in the bucket for, say, a political party that wanted to seriously play the media game. theeditorial.news/culture/the-...

TA-NEHISI COATES: “ @darializaforny.bsky.social was elected by a district of Black and Brown voters. @JamesCarville is saying they’re useful to him when they vote the way he agrees with — When they don’t, kick them out of the party… it’s not good for democracy.”

This is truly some heinous shit.

This is almost too generous. It’s not if there IS another motive; it’s if the court can IMAGINE another motive.

absolute height of comedy is when they cut to the goal and you see how many kid keepers they've got

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

just finished my design for a shrimp powered air conditioner. now to take a sip of coffee and check out bluesky

Read the damn room, Mr. Met.

I’m starting to believe he ruffles feathers of centrist dems not because of his policies…. But because centrist dems are more beholden to corporate interests than the good of the people

What’s wrong with that? He’s the Mayor of a City. You’re the Ranking member of the Democrats in the House of Representatives. Why would you have to be lockstep about who to endorse in a Primary? The General Election, yes. But why the Primary?

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

It’s so funny that they’re literally doing “no no not like that” when they told us to work within the Democratic Party

ICYMI: My latest 👇🏽

The Supreme Court's decision in the Temporary Protected Status case proves the Supreme Court *is* racist. They don't merely affirm Trump's racism, they endorse it. And while that's not "news" for anyone paying attention, it's still outrageous. My latest in @thenation.com

President Trump blew up what could have been a win for his party — and he did it to force lawmakers to pass an elections overhaul bill that has been all but doomed in the Senate. n.pr/4vx0DUv

do they shoot the heat wave in america?

I had someone tell me last night that Mamdani style politics wouldn't play well outside of cities or suburbs and I was like...okay well that's 80% of the country, so...

The belief that Mamdani’s politics are limited to New York is giving the same energy as “there’s no way a Black man from Chicago, raised in ‘exotic’ Hawaii, with the middle name ‘Hussein’ can become a national figure, let alone win the presidency”

I’m pretty sure the mayor doesn’t work for Congress

CNN interviewing James Carville in 2026 about the midterms

Between the Fetterman stuff & the response to DSA victories & the stuff being said about Lander I wonder what it says about where the so-called center has shifted that basically no one who advocates for our current or recent status quo can express themselves without appearing super racist anymore

in addition to every other problem here, mamdani spends the vast majority of his time in the public eye speaking about hyper-local new york city governance issues. the idea that he is preoccupied with israel at all times is based on nothing other than the fact that he is muslim

Dark thought, but thinking we have to take into account that the Silicon Valley tech crowd regularly refers to people as NPCs when considering Elon’s response to being confronted with numbers about USAID cut deaths.

To quote Scott Seiss:

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

Black voters do not appreciate anti-Black racism, go figure.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

An older piece of mine I was reminded of today, so posting here xraylitmag.com/an-open-woun...

This is dope. Remember when Luigi got caught because he wanted to flash that sexy smile to a woman behind the counter? Men are dumb as hell. It's like the flashing weak spot when you fight a boss in a video game lol

If you need to do all you can to beat Paxton…do all you can to beat Paxton. This is not rocket science. Black Folks in TX have been voting AGAINST Paxton with 90%+ of their vote since 2002. Other demographics…not so much🤷🏾‍♀️ Nothing you’re saying or doing qualifies as something that would help

HahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA "Only Talarico can win! We need him to win!" Okay... Get your white family to vote for him and leave Black ppl alone. Y'all chose this for yourselves.

the good people at vulture are letting me do these very silly blogs again for the new season my scoring system remains scientific and not open to review
