when I broke story abt Hanania being Nazi, almost none of folks he was tied to - Substack, NYT, WaPo, Atlantic, Stanford, UT, U of Austin, WSJ, Andreesen, Thiel, Ramaswamy, Sacks, Vance, Federalist Society - would comment

my book describes how this was indicator of this fascist political moment

Vital City | How Prevention Reduced Crime and How To Get More of It We have to understand what drove 2025 dramatic nationwide declines to build on them.

What drove the nationwide crime decline of 2025? @johnkroman.bsky.social argues that large-scale prevention investments — funded through pandemic recovery dollars — helped drive the drop and that future gains require thinking beyond policing alone.

Ty. Yup. I hope the BBC and BAFTAs take accountability

In France, Mr. Clean is called "Monsieur Propre" and I hope that guy continues to work

Any numismatics enthusiasts here? I think I came across a really cool coin and I want to know where to take it for an opinion. (In New York City)

Web-browsing bots, rather than humans, account for the bulk of web traffic. Over half of that is from malicious bots, hoovering up personal data. An increasing proportion comes from bots sent by AI companies to gather data for their models or respond to prompts

I wrote about Zohran Mamdani Economic Derangement Syndrome and how a Democratic Socialist won both Wall Street and the "Commie Corridor" in New York City: With a relentless focus on cold, hard cash

open.substack.com/pub/moorehn/...

Mamdani Did All the Things the Establishment Hates. He Won Anyway. There’s a growing appetite for something new and innovative growing among the electorate—and an opportunity for Democrats to grow that electorate, as well.

I am not super optimistic that the Dem gerontocracy will learn the right lessons from Mamdani’s win but here’s my analysis anyway: newrepublic.com/article/1972...

Rather than leave it there, the Times on Monday ran an editorial declaring, “We are not endorsing a candidate.” But the piece did go on to criticize Mamdani while also seeming to back Cuomo. “Mr. Mamdani would also bring less relevant experience than perhaps any mayor in New York history,’ the scathing piece said. ‘He has never run a government department or private organization of any size. As a state legislator, he has struggled to execute his own agenda.” Breaker has learned that the editorial was written by Editorial Director of Opinion (and a contender to be the next Executive Editor of The Times), David Leonhardt, who while a native New Yorker now lives in D.C (other opinion writers did provide input into the piece).

Breaker reports that the New York Times editorial board's quasi-endorsement of Andrew Cuomo was written by NYT opinion editorial director David Leonhardt: www.breakermedia.com/p/murdoch-s-...

My latest: Democrats must stop running sexual harassers like Andrew Cuomo. It's insulting to our intelligence and deeply unsafe for women.

ty Bruno!

Yes, you should protest the ICE raids A harmful group of pundits and politicians appeared online to tell people to stay out of the streets as the Trump Administration takes away civil rights. Don't listen to them

Fascism and tyranny require your permission. Your silence in the face of fascism is permission for the fascists to keep going. After all, if it was bad, you would have said something, right? — @moorehn.bsky.social

Sound advice and excellent historical perspective in this piece.

So true: "Fascism does not have to win. It loses all the time."
