To all of you today who identify as liberal/progressive, but are incredibly afraid of seeing a brown Muslim man becoming Mayor of New York City, you are clearly bigoted, pathetic, and irredeemable.

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. - The Narcissist's Prayer by Dayna Craig

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Citizen-led reforms in Missouri have legalized marijuana, raised the minimum wage, and revoked the state’s abortion ban. Last week, Republicans advanced a constitutional amendment that would effectively kill the citizen initiative process.

To be 100% clear: Parents do NOT have "legitimate concerns" about trans girls on sports teams. They have knee-jerk assumptions, made up of sexist stereotypes, that self-serving politicians and media-types have fanned into a groundless moral panic. Trans girls playing sports hurts no one.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Dune: Awakening or Desert Vampire Simulator?
I've started playing Dune: Awakening and have some thoughts. First off, the game puts a heavy emphasis on exsanguination. Honestly, it feels like a vampire simulator set in the desert. I get the sense the developers may have originally been working on an open-world vampire RPG, then decided to slap the Dune label on it for instant name recognition. In the northern part of the map, you’ll find looming fortresses that look like they’re inhabited by vampires.

While Peter Beinart is a liberal Zionist, I think his reporting on Israel is thoughtful. It's clear he's struggling with his identity as a Zionist, and some of what he writes might push people who are on the fence to walk away from Zionism altogether.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

NYT denounces Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid for not having 'the experience'—despite him being a 3X elected assemblyman—then endorsed a rich white guy named Whitney Tilson, who has never once held elected office. Their “meritocracy” is really just rich white male mediocrity. Definitely not racist.🙄
