NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Loudly saying you won't vote for Newsom now is the perfect time to do it. October 29th, 2028 not so much.

Don't vote for Gavin Newsom btw. He is a virulent anti trans bigot who is cruel to homeless people, has the vibe of Patrick Bateman, and he married Kimberly Guilfoyle on purpose.

No!! No!

His grandfather was a millionaire architect, his father a very successful lawyer. Platner has NEVER needed help to "access higher education." He joined the military & became a Blackwater mercenary because he liked it.

People would rather believe in fantasy than struggle with facts.

We’ve got money for the Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom no one asked for but not enough money to help feed the kids of people who work at Wal-Mart.

Only in America.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

File under "Closed: not a bug"

Mamdani is well dressed, has to be very careful in his approach, and his record is damn near spotless. Platner is a fucking Blackwater merc with an SS tat and everyone from Sanders to Vigeland to fucking Jacobin is tripping over themselves to defend and equivocate. Fucking disgusting.

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

The secret campaign to silence critics of a hospital real estate empire When skeptics called out Medical Properties Trust, they found themselves harassed—and surveilled.

Anonymous accounts asking if you have security. Tweeting that your life is in danger. Warnings you could end up with a similar fate to a murdered journalist.

CBS News: Some NYPD officers worry about Mandani becoming NYC mayor the Free Press reports.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.

OK. That's a ban imposed over a day after the post went up. The ban is initially for threatening content. He appeals. They appear to accept that it is not threatening, but affirm the permaban on "hateful" and "disruptive" grounds.

Anyone see a reason I shouldn't think this is pretextual bullshit?

I might say more later, but for now "Don't take the bait" is really pissing me off. It is the liberal message of cowardice that the privileged will hide in their houses and blame the most vulnerable populations when the Regime attacks.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff

/6 If you are stuck in the McArdlian view "we can't think of the other side of evil" -- which I view as sociopathic -- I have to ask, is there ANYTHING they can do that will make you call it evil? Is there ANYTHING they can do that won't make you say "I should focus on finding common ground?"

Counterpoint: naming things is fun

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

👀

you share the same human substance that nazis possess. the thing that separates you from each other is not some capacity for empathy but the fact that they choose to be monsters and you do not

Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus"

1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here

2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead

and

3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.

But I knkw this: Mamdani won the primary.

If the Democratic establishment wants the left voting blue no matter who, they damn well need to be visibly providing their full-throated support when a candidate from the left beats the establishment pick in a Democratic primary.

Newsom: [hosts and laughs with Nazis]

Liberals: yayyyy

Newsom: [posts AI slop getting endorsements from Nazis]

Liberals: yayyyy

Newsom: [retweets a Nazi]

Liberals: yayyyy

Newsom: [implements Nazi policies]

Liberals: yayyyy

Marginalized communities: umm hey wait a second

Liberals: 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Just make sure to throw bacon on them... No, strike that, reverse it.

Less than 24 hours and this already comes in handy

/6 Because, you know, both right-wing assholes and useless apologists and minimizers are going to be yelling YOU ARE ENCOURAGING VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT. Asshole, I am encouraging performative defiance of thugs lawlessly deployed to intimidate civilians.

The conservative assertion that there is a crisis of masculinity in America is best understood as a confession

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

it’s 32 months before super tuesday 2028. if you’re shrieking IT’S TOO IMPORTANT & YOU PEOPLE ARE WHY WE LOSE at marginalized folks unsettled by potential candidates saying “i’m open-minded about sacrificing certain human rights,” may i suggest you redirect focus to telling candidates to get better?
