no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

evergreen!!!

also as @liesandperfidy.bsky.social rightly points out, the final graf of this section—"lucky for zohran the dead guy's family was also brown and muslim!"—is extremely gross

the lesson of zohran mamdani walloping one of the most racist campaigns in modern us history on the largest turnout since 1969 is that democrats need to move to the right

Did Schumer endorse Mamdani yet?

no words. this is just incredible.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Look at this and then think back to how Kamala Harris responded to protestors with "I'm speaking"

this literally made me cry. my god, what a person and a campaign.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way. by Ezra Klein

one last observation: donald trump has never won a majority of the vote and yet the political press treats him like the embodied spirit of the american people. will be interesting to see how they discount mamdani as representing new york if he wins less than a majority.

I wonder if the folks attacking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for singling out Israel have noticed that Hindu nationalists loathe him too. Why? Because his opposition to religious, ethnic + racial supremacy is NOT confined to Israel. He's a principled opponent of ethnonationalism, including in India

This is so awful. I’m so sorry, friend 🙃

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

I know I’m not the only one to say this but it is so disturbing how much the mainstream media wants Mamdani to lose 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Nearly half of SNAP households are white. But white supremacists want you to think it’s single black women and illegal immigrants.

this was so satisfying to watch.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

If you make "controversial statements" outside of classroom, that the President of the university dislikes, you can be summarily fired even if you are tenured.
