A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

If we dont get my dream of Eric Adams competing on the next season of The Traitors at least we get this unbelievable Ziwe interview. youtu.be/-9CmFvGEXXk?...

The 'Moderate' slate championed by Jacobs was massacred on a night when the rest of the party across the country had its best election in generations. We need to purge the whole of the NY Dems operation.

Zohran opening his victory speech with a Eugene Debs quote let’s FUCKING GO!!!!!!

🤌🏻

If you live in NYC and you don't pay for @hellgatenyc.com, you should.

Biggest turnout since 1969 and the takeaway is clear: you gotta nominate a hottie.

My friend Nina brought an extremely topical snack to our election night hang. @katiehonan.bsky.social

Kamala's entire 2028 strategy just went out the window

I hope Kamala and every advisor who said it is was a good idea to spend the end of her campaign running around with the Cheneys has to spend the entire day today reading all the mean comments about this horrible man from across the internet.

🎵 Aloof Wife, Aloof Wife Every Morning You Great Me… 🎵

Required reading for all true sickos like me.

I can’t wait to hate whoever on the Dodgers goes to the White House.

BASEBALL!!!!!!

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.

This is an exceptional speech.

“I can’t believe my first interview on Amazon is about sports betting.” -Adam Silver Unreal.

Wait Kelly Olynyk is on the Spurs now?!?

That was one hell of a game.

Hitting 3 homers while also striking out 10 guys to win the pennant is unreal. Ohtani is something else.

A thing I heard today at the National Union/Co-op conference in Cincinnati is that “all the waterparks in Mexico are co-ops.” I very much want to believe this is at least partially true.

Not gonna post much about the Celtics this season but just putting it out there now that a successful season to me looks like developing 2-3 guys who can really contribute and the next contending iteration. I think Tillman is the one I’m most excited about.

That’s my point guard!

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

This clip is WILD. I do not understand how any anti-Trump dem, no matter how moderate, could vote for this Vichy-ass supplicant.

All power to the WNBPA. The fans stand with the player’s union. Also how is the union not on this app?

HANDS OFF TISH JAMES.

Kah is locked in. Goddamn.

Extremely good weekend reconnecting with co-op organizers from across the state at the NY Co-op Summit. Very grateful to be in community with so many amazing folks building seeds of working class power and economic democracy in the midst of the bad times.

Alexa's been an powerful and effective progressive on Council. Goldman is an embarrassment. Lander could win but I think it's more important to have him in the Mamdani admin. Curious to see who else throws their hat in. Praying we don't again end up with too many challengers spoiling each other.

Hey, @bklynlibrary.bsky.social how many copies are you ordering and when can I put a hold on one?

Ok but like who wants to be part of this book club with me?

What’s that? The Yankees blew it? Damn. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer group of guys.

Firing Sandy is wild but now that it’s done I’m all on T-Spoon as the new head coach.

I think @justinbrannan.bsky.social just killed the Coney Island casino bid. www.brooklynpaper.com/op-ed-coney-...

Rough end to a rough season for the Liberty.

Happening now: Protest to bring back Jimmy Kimmel outside ABC Disney Studios in New York City

Been working with a truly amazing group of co-op leaders from across NY to put together this conference and I can't believe it's less than three weeks away. Come join us in Albany on 10/4! More info and sliding scale registration at: newyorkcooperative.org

Already updated the @cityandstateny.bsky.social general election endorsement tracker with Hochul's endorsement. It's such a valuable resource: www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

I love this because based on the polling he was almost certainly already gonna win and now Hochul may help him win with the kind of margin and mandate that would make it harder for her to say no to him on taxing the rich to pay for his agenda. 🧑‍🍳 👌🏻

Wait did they just show Mugsy Bogues courtside at the Liberty/Sky game in Chicago?

No he didn’t.

As skeptical as I am about big tech companies generally, I'm legitimately so stoked about the prospect of in-ear real time interpretation. Star Trek promised us this one years ago and I hope it becomes affordable and widespread quickly.

Huge UFT for Zohran contingent here at the Labor Day parade.

Calling a news conference where everyone assumes you will be ending your campaign but you announce that your campaign continues and the other guy sucks…a good bit, if nothing else

Bloomberg is reporting Adams is making an announcement that he is *staying in the race*, which seems unlikely but would be incredibly funny if so www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
