Zohran Mamdani represents the future of the Democratic party | Robert Reich Democratic party leaders like Chuck Schumer refuse to endorse Mamdani, and the New York Times wrongly cautions against him. Both are wrong

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“Meanwhile, the editorial board of the New York Times counsels “moderation”, urging Democratic candidates to move to the “center”. Tell me: where is the center between democracy and fascism, and why would anyone want to go there?”

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:

Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

And the white world lost its mind, never for it to be found again.

Still, worth it. Liberté ou la Mort!!

James, Dobson and others use the excuse of family values as a way to remake the world into the conservative authoritarian Christianity that they believed in. This was nothing to do with Jesus but everything to do with whiteness.

Here's the thing. There's a whole parade of old Evangelical white men who helped set up the hell that we are living in today. They wanted to remake America and they wanted to strip back the gains of the civil Rights movement, women's rights and gay rights to oppress others.

Opinion | James Dobson’s harsh, disciplinarian Christianity changed GOP politics Discipline rooted in fear, not love, was a hallmark of Dobson’s teachings and a hallmark of his writings about children.

Some poor soul already wrote to me trying to take up for James Dobson.🙄 Let me repost my article again. That man is responsible for so many of the bad policies that are happening to torture people today.

Ok I’m happy if Newsom’s trolling helps people get through the day but the fact that he’s done ONE good thing and has some memes does not mean he’s not a transphobic piece of shit who delights in harassing homeless people — two of Trump’s favorite things too!!!!!!

Meet the Group That Planted Over 22,000 Trees to Fight Colonialism's Impact in Puerto Rico Centuries of colonialism cost Puerto Rico's native mangroves. This group has planted over 22,000 since 2023.

Centuries of colonialism cost Puerto Rico's native mangroves. This group has planted over 22,000 since 2023. Read the full story:

Ann Coulter commenting that "We (meaning the U.S., presumably) did not kill enough Indians."

I rarely comment on these things, but these are unusual times. 249 years ago the Declaration called Natives "Merciless Indian Savages.," and the Constitution excluded us from protection while enabling our dispossession. We remember this history not to cause harm, but to grasp the consequences./1

The SCOTUS decision wasn’t just about birthright. It was essentially refuting the idea that Trump has any constraints. But he used racism and bigotry as always as the wedge. Confirming the deep legacy of American racism and, frankly, stupidity.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery

These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

US imperialism is the biggest threat to humanity.

1. He killed my friend Ward Harkavy 2. He hasn’t lived in NYC for 30 years 3. He was behind “Vote For Cuomo, Not the Homo” in 1977 (his dad v. Koch) 4. He defunded the MTA 5. He covered up killing 12,000 New Yorkers in nursing homes 6. He killed New Yorkers by delaying Covid vaccines at Met Stadium in a dick wagging fight with de Blasio 7. He’s harassed at least 13 women (& blamed it on being Italian!) 8. He’s Netenyahu’s lawyer! 9. He ran interference for Harvey Weinstein! 10. He sued for his women accusers’ OB/GYB records!

10 reasons not to rank Andrew Cuomo *at all*

If New Yorkers are wondering who will fight back against Federal overreach, we have visible evidence today that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander are the candidates that you should rank 1 or 2

Lander literally resisted federal overreach and Mamdani showed up immediately to have his back

Fuck Cuomo

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

New York, I need y'all to make Schumer's life a living hell until he takes serious action

I hope they AI circle jerk themselves into oblivion and we get our human society back.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

The government’s own data shows that the real domestic threat to homeland security is white nationalism. No plans to expand the use of the national guard to control that.

"the president has constitutional authority" the hell he does you raggedy bitch

"Here it's also useful to make a distinction between property damage (which protesters in the USA in our era have done from time to time) and harming living beings (which is largely something done by law enforcement in these demonstrations)."

I think it’s important to notice why so many Americans believe the criminal group exists: yes the media but also two political parties that kept talking about this criminal imaginary. Two. That appeal to Liz Cheney moderates shit is damaging.

That’s the last three Democrats to earn the party nomination to run for president and all three of them either ran on or actually engaged in anti-immigrant policies that promoted the idea that immigrants especially from LatAm and Caribbean were a danger to the United States

We are many, they are few

half a mind to run for Congress and start a Backbone Caucus

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism.

But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽
