Yeah. I get that. But she’s a fighter. I think that’s more important at this moment. And Trump hates women in power so it would make him even more nuts than he is already.

Warren?

Mamdani the Party Builder Partyism in action

I wrote about what I see as the real lesson of Mamdani's victory: not that Democrats needs to move left (or right, for that matter), but that they should try to build real-world relationships with normal voters. publiccomment.blog/p/mamdani-th...

Depends what you think America looks like. If you mean white working class Italian & Irish descent Americans, maybe. But Dems almost always lose SI. Queens is where Mario Cuomo was from & loved. Mamdani still 47% in Queens. So 🤷🏻‍♀️.

And they’re all going hungry.

My Maine Coons look like mops when they’re curled up and sleeping.

Reminds me of when a boatload of young recruits were shipped over here in the tail end of 1991. They literally couldn’t understand the locals and hadn’t a clue where they were.

The Chicago area is less safe since a bunch of Border Patrol wahoos from Laredo & Calexico have been driving around spreading mayhem

A bunch of Border Patrol wahoos from Laredo & Calexico driving around spreading mayhem in 12-18 inches of snow tomorrow will be exponentially worse.

Uhmm, he lost Staten Island. Queens is where Mario Cuomo came from and Andrew Cuomo still didn’t win it (Mamdani got 47%). The places that like America, unless you only mean white men, went for Mamdani.

Across Eastern Europe, they have what are known as "lustration" laws that do exactly this for people who were in the Stasi and its various equivalents. It's a model we should be examining.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:

Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

Reader: they never leave. They begrudge paying their fair share but they don’t want to live in Podunk USA.

They will fight to the last empty stomach.

He and people like him really believe that if they use the subway they’ll be mugged or worse. Same people eat pizza with a knife & fork. Big tell.

I have long argued that the single best thing you could do to improve the functioning of the US government is double the salaries of everyone working on Capitol Hill. Serving Congress shouldn’t involve poverty wages in DC. You could attract a much wider set of perspectives netting a better result.

Just note that in 2024, voter turnout was 64.1% ... so fully ONE THIRD of registered US voters can't be bothered to vote .... even with early voting, mail-in voting, and same day voting.... compare that to say Germany who has 82% turnout on a single/ same-day vote. So stop complaining & just vote!!

Every day, as a Jew, I am going to call the ADL's tip line to report Mamdani anti-Semitism with at least three seismically moronic insights. I will begin with an accusation that the new mayor prefers strawberry and blueberry bagels to savory, and sometimes schmears butter.

Fuck Jonathan Greenblatt.

If there was any justice there would be a Government building named after her, a scholarship for young women going into government/politics. As, if not more, consequential than Tip O’Neill.

Tell you one thing—Dems have to ditch the focus group language and start using language that is real. Not ‘inequality’ but ‘is it right that you work 40 hrs and still can’t afford an apartment and healthcare’? Just an example.

I wonder how his policies compare to LaGuardia? I mean, LaGuardia was considered pretty left wing at the time.

I remember the Guardian Angels in the subway and, at the time, was very happy to see them late at night. Sliwa is a bit odd but the one thing he shares with Mamdani is a real love of NYC.

@danahoule.bsky.social YES!!!

Oh — the situation has escalated.

Pope Leo has spoken out: says "spiritual rights" of detainees should be respected and calls on the "authorities" to allow "pastoral workers" in.

Obviously Mandami wouldn’t fly everywhere. But his down to earth way of talking about the issues that matter to everyone works. Dems have to decide whether they’re talking to ordinary people or focus groups. And meeting people where they are works.

Yikes!!!

America, the Juvenile The Trump administration is a regime of troubled grade-schoolers.

America is being run by mean girls and shitposters and trolls and the Comic Book Guys.

A lot of people in SI and parts of Queens are firefighters, police etc and need to live in NYC for their jobs. Don’t think they’re moving.

I’m surprised that the nether aren’t putting $100 bills in their thongs. This really has ‘strip club’ vibes.
