MAMDANI: "So hear this, Donald Trump: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

Aftyn for Congress FEED KIDS. FIX ROADS. FUND HOSPITALS.

Now would be a good time to keep this energy going and tossing some $$$ to Aftyn, running in what is bound to be a crazy low turnout special election between Thanksgiving and Christmas to replace mark green: www.aftynforcongress.com

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

OH MY GOD, DDHQ CALLS IT AND DEMS FLIP BOTH STATEWIDE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

we're so back

The Tea Party was a totally contrived astroturf psyop that dominated American politics for years. It was even obvious at the time, and yet we all had to talk about it seriously.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

i love ta-nehisi coates so much

And the thing that this has led to, for me, is recognizing that I don't get to draw the line. Now it doesn't mean I don't have one in my own heart. But the thing that I am struggling with is that for most people, or a lot of people, the plurality of the voters in the last election: He is somehow not way over the line. That means there are a lot of people who are willing to accept things that I thought we would have found unacceptable. I would have thought that the way he acts in public is unacceptable. And it's not. So, I think for me - and this goes back to the culture that you maybe feel didn't exist, but I feel did - there was a view that we could work with politics by drawing these lines. That there are people who are going to be inside them and outside them, and we could work that way. I am working with the question of: What happens if you don't believe that? If you don't control the line?

What I see is any line that existed at all collapsing. I'm watching, like, Holocaust revisionism on the biggest right-wing podcasts. I'm watching Tucker Carlson turn into what I would describe as a white nationalist and become an absolute dominant force on the right - bigger than he ever was in his smarmy libertarian phase. This stuff has real appeal, as you said. That's not a surprise on some level. It's just something you have to deal with. That's where this question of line drawing — I have lines that I think should and should not be acceptable, but those lines clearly have no relationship to my country and its politics. I've been asking the question without really having an answer — I want to be honest about this — of: What follows from that?

If I can speak to the anxiety Klein keeps returning to since Kirk’s killing:

Lines are made by drawing them, and then enforcing them. It is work that is repetitive, exhausting, oppositional and unending. It can only be done in solidarity with others. And it never stops.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

i can't believe we're going silksong -> hades 2 -> final fantasy tactics remake back-to-back-to-back

It's gotta be XI but it will make it impossible to play the older games. however, it's like 100 hours long and the expanded version has an add on that lets you visit the other games anyway so you don't need them

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

Wrote this in The Sirens Call about mass shootings as the darkest, most violent form of extreme trolling and think it likely applies here as well.

As we prepare for the coming weeks, for the impending federal law enforcement surge and seemingly inevitable military escalation, I'm keeping the words of the late Karen Lewis at the top of my mind. "Does it unite us, does it build our power, does it make us stronger?"
