It is core to the nature of reactionary politics that its adherents *always* conceive of themselves as aggrieved victims, no matter how much power they amass. It's a permission structure for their own lawlessness & violence.

I've felt that _Defiant Life_ is from a purely audio perspective one of the best-sounding albums I've ever made, and it turns out these audiophile guys agree -- they ranked us between Tracy Chapman and Steely Dan! www.headphonesty.com/2026/06/top-...

No, there is no "nuance" about the Prairieland defendants. Anything less than total condemnation of these prosecutions and sentences is capitulation to fascism. The leopards will eat your face too

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

🎷 ¡Tres gigantes del jazz contemporáneo unen fuerzas! ✨ Henry Threadgill, Vijay Iyer (@vijayiyer) y Dafnis Prieto (@dafnisprieto) debutarán en Nonesuch Records con “Fifteen”, un álbum que celebra los quince años de historia de este extraordinario trío y su constante […] [Original post on lile.cl]

“Pro-Palestinian” is unduly specific; the proper term to describe these voters’ motive would be “anti-genocide”

Mamdani-backed candidates sweep Democratic primaries in New York City

it fucking rules that new york city politics have become what outsiders assumed they already were

A university that called the cops on its own peaceful students is now set to be represented by one of them in Congress

Espaillat's loss can in, part, by directly traced back to ICE's kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil

“Simply put: Dem Socialists (+17 pt net fav) are more popular than Dems in Congress (+4 pt net fav) with Dems… it’s no wonder they’re winning in primaries across the country… This is one of the biggest political changes I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

We did it, Zo(hran Mamdani)

Zohran with a 🔥post after candidates he backed swept the night

Henry Threadgilll, @vijayiyer.bsky.social, and Dafnis Prieto cover Tidal's Modern Contemporary! "I Wanted a Map," from their upcoming album, 'Fifteen,' opens the playlist: tidal.com/playlist/70e...

The party leadership hates Zohran because he’s Muslim and antizionist, to be sure — but the real reason he’s so dangerous to them is because he reminds voters that elected officials are supposed to make your life better, and half the time it’s not even that hard for them to do it

RESULT: Darializa Avila Chevalier, a challenger backed by New York's left, has ousted Rep. Adriano Espaillat. An earthquake result, which means all 3 congressional candidates backed by Mamdani have won: Chevalier, Brad Lander, and Claire Valdez.

"...task force tapped [McKinsey] to consult on a cost-cutting model...Working with a corporate firm like McKinsey tends to cost a lot of money — at least $250,000 for the FAS consultation, the Crimson reported..." I would've only charged $200k Harvard! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/04/m...

There's your lesser evil: ICE contractor Palantir has hired Hakeem Jeffries' former chief of staff and a former Democratic senator as it builds out a Democratic lobbying operation on Capitol Hill. readsludge.com/2026/06/22/p...
