Oh the feeling of reading a good book and knowing you have several more queued up.

Stunning. Archives are everything.

Hold up

🇧🇷 In #Brazil, - Solar grew from 0.01% in 2015 to 12% in 2025 - Met its 2030 renewable target 8 years early - Installed 60 GW of solar by Sept 2025 4/7

"But it's not only the letting go — there's also the rejoicing of how we can break the system that created the trauma and the division between us and the original caretakers of the land."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

“Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt." Exodus 22:21

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

"But stubborn and principled often look the same, especially to those who are unprincipled." - Jim Ryan

"The Cavalier Daily corresponded with former Rector Robert Hardie, whose term ended June 30, regarding the two accounts. He confirmed that he agreed with Ryan’s account. 'I concur fully with President Ryan’s recollection of events,' Hardie said." Welp www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

So much to be shocked about in this world, and I try to stay here on things I know something abt. Must read Jim Ryan letter (worth going back to summer coverage of the board reconfiguration) recounting actions of the Governor's office and UVA board truly shocking. www.chronicle.com/article/stun...

There go my dreams of occupying a 10,000-sq. foot Park Avenue apartment and turning it into an anarcho-syndicalist autonomous zone

If you want to read “Why I Love the Vermont Green,” I’ve taken pictures of the little zine for you. Of course it’s nicer if you can hold it in your hands. But here’s the zine in full (1/2) #WILtVG

⚽ Les Bleus verront l'Amérique. Portée par sa superstar Kylian Mbappé, auteur d'un doublé et héros du match, l'équipe de France a réussi sa mission et a brillamment décroché son billet pour le Mondial-2026 en écrasant l'Ukraine (4-0), jeudi au Parc des Princes.

I am thrilled that "I Have Avenged America" was selected for The TLS "Books of the Year" roundup!! 🎉 @yalepress.bsky.social yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Thank god! I had been worried about them this whole time.

We're Back! Hard Histories: Facing Into the Wind! open.substack.com/pub/hardhist...

Truly insightful portrait of @juliangerson.bsky.social in the Guardian. Love the insider's view of writing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's campaign www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Our congratulations to Dean Fuleihan, a senior fellow at the CUNY Institute of State and Local Governance, who was appointed by Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to serve as First Deputy Mayor. His appointment reflects the University's mission to advance public service.

My latest @theguardian.com: As a genuine soccer fan & generational political talent, freshly elected NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani might be able to achieve the unthinkable: force the FIFA behemoth to share its lucre by targeting its tax exemptions & extreme privilege www.theguardian.com/football/202...

here we are indeed. (additional context for fans of other sports: Arsenal is currently at the top of the Premier League)

Zohran has now gotten more votes, in New York City alone, than 49 members of the U.S. Senate did when they get elected; It's likely that, when the final tally is complete, he'll have gotten more votes than half of all Senators currently in office. *This* is what power and purpose looks like.

each of them represents one of the five elements: Fire, Metal, Air, Water, and Anti-Trust.

From the archive - this is pretty amazing to read today:

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

"Others will take time in catching up to that." whew

The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!

For real though: the Zohran organizing and field operation was legendary. Absolutely setting the bar. Extraordinary work that can be learned from and emulated by any campaign with an actual theory of change.

Great piece from my colleague @eriklinstrum.bsky.social

"And if we embrace this brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves." Damn. 💜

The focus on transparency as a basic cornerstone of democracy here is really important

Excellent transition team (no surprise there). And lovely choice of venue to introduce them Zohran and team have such a keen instinct for invoking (and teaching!) NYC’s progressive, cosmopolitan and working-class histories

Larry Sabato of @center4politics.bsky.social with some straightforward lucidity here, saying what is somehow difficult for many others to understand .

Universal swing in action: "What we saw last night was a directional shift toward Democrats in 99.8% of counties that held partisan elections." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/seven-data...

This literally looks like a blue wave.

They broke the republican supermajority in the Mississippi state senate respect to the organizers and power to the people

Mamdani's victory wasn't only a repudiation of an old and exhausted political establishment in the city, it was also a triumph over the framing power of the political press, and none more so than the New York Times, whose coverage and editorials worked relentlessly to dampen his appeal.

Honestly, this was my favorite news of the night.

be stoked, stay stoked, all around the country the people are back at it

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Every new post tonight is like Dems have flipped the Mehaden town sewer authority, long dominated by conservatives, by a +38 margin

This person took this when they called the race

I loved this moment

Just thinking back to how I was feeling a year ago. This is better.

Mamdani: “NYC will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and as of tonight, LED by an immigrant!” 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

"Our greatness will be anything but abstract."

"I am young despite my best efforts to grow older."
