"This president will stop at nothing to take food out of the mouths of hungry kids across America. Soulless."

Lmao. Trump winning by 1.5 means the whole world needs to change, Mamdani, a leftist Dem, beating Cuomo, a centrist Dem, not in a primary but in a GENERAL election, by nine points means nothing about the Democratic Party. Oh, okay.

this, too, is Pivot to Wiki. we have to build & use info sources that exist both outside of elite-controlled media AND outside of the social media/attention economy. Otherwise, lying wins.

And the Admin is handing you Bovino on a silver platter to be the face of this You absolutely want to be shifting the messaging to how BP are the ones tear gassing suburban streets for fun and that at an absolute bare minimum Bovino needs to be in a jail cell come 2029

My workshop leader from 1.5 years ago got back to me about recommending me for grad school! This grad school app is getting realer and realer by the day.

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Axios has put out a Bad Article and let that be your reminder to block Axios and also find a random New York Times or Washington Post employee to block.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death. Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written." Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating. 🧪🧬🧫

This is so fascinating. Very very bad tho.

I’m entirely serious, we should make GOPyper staffers defend the contents of their group chats to the American public

Mind you NYT wrote “Mike Brown was no angel” Tom Cotton wrote we should bomb protesters Bari Weiss wrote Asian Americans weren’t real Americans meaning people outside the group targeted did that Bht “Did women ruin the workplace” WHICH WAS COWRITTEN BY A WOMAN is too far

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

This morning, I spoke at the SOMOS Labor Breakfast. "We are not looking to remake New York City in my image. We are looking to remake it in the image of struggling workers across the five boroughs."

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

All the statements about how the pro-GOP realignment of young people and a multiracial working class was fake and wildly overread from 2024 are correct BUT we do all know 2024 -> 2025 shifts are mostly compositional effects, yes?

I will never understand the people who can look at this and shrug.

a big problem i predict is that many GOPs who have been licking Trump's boot up till now will suddenly say "I've always had a backbone" and people will just believe them. We need to turn the entire GOP to dust, at every level, from your local school board to Washington, or this'll just happen again

The choice to target drivers, who are required by rideshare apps to have legal work authorization in the U.S., is nothing more than racial profiling. The raids have largely been abrupt and aggressive, leaving drivers scared, confused, and in tears following the disappearances.

Jonathan Edwards (whom I do NOT support! ) talked about the holy joy felt by the Blessed in Heaven with God when they looked down on Hell and saw the justice of God being worked on the Damned. I never understood that until this year

more and more people are saying @demsocialists.bsky.social demands are mainstream

I have hope that all will be saved but shit like this makes me understand why some people believe in eternal conscious torment.

I don’t even have words for this. One of the 2 guys responsible for this mass death wants a peace prize and the other wants $1trillion to be a bad CEO.

This makes no sense—civilization would "disappear" if it didn't keep growing above 8 billion people? people would just give up having children? huh?—until you see what countries he has excluded from "every country." Then you understand what the apartheidist means by "civilization."

The root question here is “would Ted Cruz and Ron DeSantis have significantly overperformed in 2016 and 2024 vs Trump” and I genuinely don’t know the answer. I assume it’s yes, but I don’t know.

Yes

Carve it on your heart: when they say they hate "liberal feminists", they mean they hate women

I want nice things too. 😭

It's nationalism and it always has to touch on the topic of who the Women may marry and carry the children of

Jared Isaacman, the billionaire Space X fanboy picked to take over NASA, plans to eviscerate the agency

I wrote a poem that I thought was dreadful but hearing it in the air made me like it.

This ain’t really my business but once you learn about the gender anxieties attendant on questions of integration, diaspora, and Zionism among Jewish communities, you kinda see it everywhere.

THEY USED TO CALL US WOKE NOW THEY CAN CALL US WIDE AWAKES

oh my god they actually did it lmao

When I am not thinking about poetry a few times a day I think about how Jesse Singal and a series of other assholes essentially dedicated their lives to making trans rights an issue where elite consensus lags behind public opinion rather than one where elite consensus leads public opinion.

And of course it wasn’t only the editorial page. From the Columbia admissions story—dropped in their laps by an avowed white supremacist!—to daily pieces centered around Cuomo attack points, the Times’s straight-news coverage always had both thumbs held firmly on the scale against Mamdani

Kamala, Pritzker, AOC, or Newsom. Who and why?

All I think about every day is how much I enjoy writing poetry.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

If Dems win statewide in Texas next year (pipe dream I know AND YET) and the media does not immediately interpret it as a massive public revolt and condemnation against ICE, I will personally fight a New York Times employee.

No but actually. Many of the happiest couples I know are couples that met volunteering for campaigns. With the house and the baby and the good jobs and everything.

No NYT but I’m slightly worrying Dems will do TOO well electorally to the point that we’ll think we can fix this problem electorally and no, we still need massive structural changes to make ending democracy impossible even if a Democrat happens to preside over inflation or a recession.

In light of the stunning size of the blue wave, I’m also thinking of all the important races that Dems left on the table by not running a candidate:

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

This is the first stat so far I found genuinely shocking / thrilling

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Once more, for old times’ sake
