JUSTICE IS BEST SERVED LIGHTLY TOASTED

"Only one of 102 antisemitism complaints the authors reviewed raises antisemitism claims unrelated to criticism of Israel... The surge in complaints has been in part the work of a small group of pro-Israel actors" @alicesperi.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

lol

this great article by @debtcollective.bsky.social lays out really clearly what's been on my mind all day: everybody better get real familiar with municipal finance real quick www.inthered.org/p/zohran-won...

one of my spicy takes, for example, is that limits on strikes are unconstitutional under the 13th Amendment, because if we have a right to be free from forced labor, we must necessarily have a right to stop working and negotiate the conditions of our labor

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

I wish I could show you all the joyous photos and videos being shared on Muslim and South Asian WhatsApp right now with people reacting to Mamdani's victory. It's really beautiful and cathartic. So many years of anti-Muslim bigotry, racism & hate. And all those tears are now sugar for our chai.

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...

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

Zohran is cool and awesome and I’m thrilled for him and all of us but at my core this is who I am: the Jewish guy who shows up to be a world class hater in support of his friend

so it turns out that fascism is unpopular

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Dem message for next year’s midterms

New York City is the New York City of America

Me and the boys rn

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

The national mood is: 2 Woke 2 Furious

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

The man is right! @jamellebouie.net www.youtube.com/shorts/fUBqK...

"Democrats Deeply Worried About the Repercussions of Victory" could be the defining statement of our generation.

It's kind of amazing that we don't know who wrote the pivotal section for the cost-benefit analysis for one of the most significant regulatory actions of the last ~50 years. Recall that cost-benefit analysis is defended as promoting democratic accountability.

One of the biggest problems in the US right now, and an aggravator of every other problem, is that most news outlets are owned by right wing billionaires who approve of Trump's fascism.

If (knock on wood) Dems sweep Tuesday’s elections handily, can we ease discourse away from its obsession over whether Dems are too left wing to win, and take greater notice of the fact that Republicans are in a civil war over whether to be Nazis or merely lesser fascists?

ME: *holding a flashlight under my face wearing ghost makeup and a yankees hat* chuuuuuck.... chuck schuuuumeerrrr.... SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER: ahhh! who are you??? ME: dont you recognize me chuuuuuckk..... im the baileys.... im the boy one..... chuck im woke now.....

Me and my boys went to a strange LAND The sun beat down on the desert SAND My man Ad-rock turned to us and said Yo, you two see that BIG-ASS HEAD? We approached this ancient, beat up MASS We learned his name was OZYMANDIAS A sign said take a look AND DESPAIR But we saw no works, nothing was THERE

Homey literally said "touch mass"

i don’t think you can maximin vote share with polls and spreadsheets, and i think it is a problem that the most prominent and influential political commentators right now are more devotees of data than experts in narrative

one of the things i think is that policies answer the question of “what will you do” but they don’t answer the question of “why should i vote for you” and i think there is a tendency in this broad conversation to equate the two

Unitary executive for me; major questions for thee

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

This is a good piece but god almighty is it sad, sad, sad

If you're having fun, you're winning

This is a piece of the Mamdani campaign that I think is really underdiscussed—that in a moment of terror and despair, his premise is that standing up against fascism can be joyous.

i do think vance is mostly just regurgitating the half remembered ideas of dead slaveholder extremists but also this gives off the unmistakable scent of “i’ll say whatever you hogs want me to say,” which is fitting coming from america’s premier hogman

(correctly) pointing out how badly this misunderstands the Revolution misses the point. These people have no coherent ideology and aren't trying to; they digest any imagery involving a heroic individual doling out violence and imagine themselves doing it to whoever they insist deserves it.

we're definitely at the point where "accurately describing what tech executives think is happening with their technology" makes you sound utterly unhinged to normal people

I actually don't think Chotiner is preternaturally good at interviewing or whatever, I just think the rest of the national press is operating at goo goo ga ga level

It's so funny to me that the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 was a former prosecutor who made that a part of her pitch, and the latest postmortem from The (centrist) Groups says "voters reject Democratic policies like prison abolitionism."

Withholding money for food and finding money for every unnecessary thing is what sparked the French Revolution. Literally.

this is a thousand percent more anti semitic than anything I've ever heard Mamdani or his supporters say

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

IT IS JULY 1992. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN JULY 1992. IT WILL ALWAYS BE JULY 1992. ALL DEVIATIONS SHALL BE PUNISHED.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

you guys want crime, we’re about to see some crime

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care: - abolish slavery - child labor laws - votes for women - social security - fdic - welfare - medicare - medicaid - desegregation - women's sports

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.
