gonna go to my grave muttering about how this charlatan unironically cited an "Official Antifa" Twitter account in the NYT bsky.app/profile/jame...

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

Democrats in Southeast Virginia Endorse “Pro-Trump, Pro-ICE” Sheriff Immigrant rights advocates were already dismayed that no Democrat ran against their local GOP sheriff in Chesapeake. Then the local Democratic Party rallied around him.

The Democratic Party’s endorsement of Sheriff Dave Rosado stings for local immigrant rights organizers in Virginia who were angered at his actions to collaborate more closely with ICE.

And let’s not forget the Rudy Deathwatch:

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

Also there’s this—even Cuomo-backer Ritchie Torres thinks Cuomo’s line is bad for NYC:

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, just leaving this here for no reason:

I will admit the culture of humorless scolding on here can be pretty obnoxious on occasion but this is an ironclad material reason for any journalist, creator, etc to support it. every other platform is intentionally bad for promotion

“MAN ACCUSED OF HURLING SANDWICH AT FEDERAL AGENT IN D.C. IS HIT WITH FELONY ASSAULT CHARGE“

Authorities claimed that the main threw a “sub-style sandwich” at border patrol agents. But clearly, we’re talking about a hero.

The @freedcproject.bsky.social Project and Harriet's Wildest Dreams are calling on you to write to members of Congress to do everything in their power to stand down federal forces in DC and stop attacks on DC communities for good. Visit freedcproject.org/allies to learn more!

Just to say this plainly: what you're looking at here is a federal police force accountable only to the president rolling up to intimidate the governor of California as he announces his plan to counter a federal legislative coup out of Texas which will ensure their permanent presence in our streets

Cuomo’s Attack on Mamdani’s Apartment Struck a New York Nerve

This article doesn’t quote a single New Yorker whose supposed nerves were struck by Cuomo’s attack.

Everyone quoted who is not directly employed by Cuomo or Cuomo himself - including a real estate lobbyist and Cuomo-backer Ritchie Torres - says it’s a dumb attack and a bad policy.

It is mind blowing to me that leadership doesn’t understand why they’re underwater.

so far what Trump has done is mostly give US automakers a huge competitive disadvantage in making this transition by cutting back on EV subsidies and investments. if the US-owned auto industry is extinct in 10 years (which I suspect it will be) this will be the reason, Trump killed it

Emma Fitzsimmons tweet: Zohran Mamdani says Cuomo doesn’t care about rent stabilized apartments and is just targeting him for political reasons: “I live rent free in his head.”

That’s how you do it.

this was the biggest and fastest win against a pathogen in medical history

also it was a brand new pandemic pathogen

simply awe-inspiring, if you understand anything about the promise of clear thinking and hard work to do good and achieve great things

Absolute fucking madness. Federal officials shouldn’t be in charge of running lots of things, and major scientific initiatives are one of them.
