Dem gains in this week's elections erased the inroads Trump made with non-white, young, and low-income voters in 2024. In fact, the R-to-D shift from 24 to 25 is double Trump's gains from 20-24. Claims of a GOP political realignment have been highly exaggerated www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trumps-win...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

“You can’t help but be influenced by that work, how Rivera depicted the dignity of labor,” one worker says.

"The effects of the internet, a deeply alienating globalized economy, and the rise of a technofeudal billionaire class have finally cracked American Democrats wide open.”

He needs to go.

If you work in politics and this doesn’t move you, you need to quit your job. Get out of the way.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

Information linked to Republican state Rep. Bryan Posthumus is contained in data breaches of several websites including Ashley Madison, a website for people seeking affairs.

I was pumping my fists in the air listening to Mamdani’s rousing victory speech last night:

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

BREAKING: After ICE refuses to allow detained migrants to receive the Eucharist, Pope Leo calls on Trump and Vance to respect migrants‘ dignity and religious liberty. “They must allow ministers to assist with their needs. They've been separated from their families and no one knows what happens.”

everyone run for office, primary some old fuck, win a seat that's gone uncontested for years

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

I sincerely hope Democrats pay attention to tonight’s results across the country. They won’t learn anything but still. Maybe. People are excited by change and original campaigns and bold ideas and candidates under the age of 50!

The NYC mayoral election is not an indictment on Trump, but the Democratic Party. Stale, bland, uninspired leadership isn’t what the people want. Zohran Mamdani is young and will make mistakes but proud of New Yorkers for at least being willing to try disruption.

Isn’t it OBVIOUS why Mamdani won?

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)

Dick Cheney’s legacy is that he turned 9/11 from a national tragedy into a global disaster. He did so through a mixture of arrogance, stupidity and greed and blighted the last quarter century.

Sanders: “So you have an economy dominated by the very wealthy — a rigged economy. … You tell me. Is it fair to call it an oligarchy?” Leonhardt: “I absolutely think there are oligarchic aspects to our country —“ Sanders: “Oh, you’re sounding like a New York Times reporter!”

To be fair, this would not be the first time the FBI has been overzealous.

At Detroit’s Wrongful Conviction Day Gala, exonerees stood together — not as victims, but as fighters for justice and redemption.

This is widespread islamaphobic racism.

When you're right, you're right.

I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters. We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

The Register is reporting that OpenAI lost $11 billion in the last quarter. This company is a shambling monstrosity, financial insanity as a direct result with the markets’ obsession with growth. www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/m...

i’m increasingly convinced that many people in d.c. are just suffering from x dot com brain rot

“This is what status quo Democrats don’t want to admit. Trump is a symptom, not the problem. He’s a reflection of people’s rage at a system that stopped working for them long before he came down that escalator ten years ago.”

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

This gets at the core problem the Democrats have right now: Consultants keep telling them to focus on ‘kitchen table issues’ but they don’t have an inspiring kitchen table agenda! ‘Expanding drug price negotiation’ is technocratic and taxing the wealthy is something they refuse to deliver on.

Great speech from Mamdani on being Muslim in New York City.
