Digusting behavior from the mayor here to not invite me.

Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

I didn't initially realise this was meant to be a negative thing, but when you read the piece it obviously was. Their attempt at a political hit job is quite literally to tell you that Mamdani is baller, and to connect him in your minds with Knicks' victory. Astonishing stuff, let's see how it goes.

Leaders of the No Kings movement are already gearing up for the next major grassroots campaign: Making sure congressional Democrats don’t wimp out. My first piece at @newrepublic.com! (Reposted to update link card) newrepublic.com/article/2168...

Republicans, they're not like us.

also "cajole"??? you are a fucking co-equal branch of government, with the exclusive power to declare war and to set the budget. you don't have to cajole a strategy you can fucking dictate it.

The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

Update: www.wral.com/news/local/s...

"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

bluntly this is also what destroyed LBJ and led to the nixon landslide, yes vietnam also mattered and was probably #1, but the white working class was infuriated that black folks would also benefit from the great society programs

50501 strongly condemns the transphobic policy positions espoused in Josh Turek’s campaign ad. We’re calling on @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social to stand with the trans community & attack the real threat to the safety of women & girls: the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein trafficking ring.

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

this is a really good, important read. featuring no-bs comments from @ezralevin.bsky.social @hunterisntdunn.bsky.social and more

No, you cannot make me root for Bill Maher. It’s not happening. Best I can do is be happy that him and Trump are fighting like they’re two Godzilla/MUTO knockoffs

Ok, if any progressive candidate wants me to serve as your Commander André Janones for your version Lula’s Army, hit me up, this is fire

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Stolen from the other site

The global pro-democracy, anti-fascist movement just notched two major wins today, after Students List in Serbia ousted strongman Aleksandar Vučić and Brazilian President Lula defeated the son of the man behind Brazil’s Jan 6 to win reelection! In 9 days, U.S. next!

Has to be said that a great thing about Lula is he is a champion grade hater

once more with feeling, baby call an ambulance but not for me

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

cool, cool

I’m a father of two and you could not torture this story out of me.

This is so backwards. Talk radio uses gutter racism, misogyny, et al to scare idiots into voting Republican *despite* the party’s actual policies, which even voters don’t believe are real when they’re described.

And normally, I'd accept some weaseling. Like, Hamilton and Talarico weren't great. I hate their answers on letting trans kids be kids and play sports. But they have been pretty good on "don't strip trans adults of healthcare and their rights." Josh outright endorsed genocide for no reason.

No, I’m adding to public pressure to push him to change his policy position, because normalizing this position is what led to the Labor Party abandoning trans people. Also Turek’s stance doesn’t even help him win, he’s just embracing excess trans deaths for *no fucking reason* apparently.
