Ivan Hodes

It’s not *defending* AIPAC to observe that they have nothing to do with this vote. Rest easy.

But did you go to an Episcopal elementary school?

24 DAYS UNTIL WE MAKE HISTORY.

Cold War Alaska: The story of the first tests of Nike Hercules missiles near Anchorage The initial launch in late 1960 was also the first live Nike Hercules test ever conducted adjacent to a metropolitan area.

Really excellent article by Anchorage historian David Reamer about the first live-fire tests of Nike-Hercules missiles in Alaska

I heard a rumor you’re going to be discussing things Nike-Hercules tomorrow at the museum!

My dad, Bill Hodes, talking about his childhood in Mao’s China on Cold War Conversations!

That’s my dad!!!

I think the actual reasonable criticism of Dems is that they allowed the government to be shut Down In the first place. Why cause chaos if not to get meaningful concessions? but on the other hand if theyd funded government at the outset people would be mad about that, too.

Unveiling of Duke Russell’s new artwork _When the Wind Blows_ depicting the 1964 nuclear incident at Site PoiNT, today at the Wax Bunker in Kincaid Park (the room where it happened)

Yep, that was it for me

i personally have been more excited about a candidate winning, but I’ve never seen a community so overjoyed before. people dancing on tables

For the rest of my life I will associate this song with being in Brooklyn the night Mamdani won

In your heart, you know he’s right

I was still an Indiana resident at the time and that was (I'm pretty sure) the last time I voted for a Republican

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

So it's good that he took a side on Measure 1 but bad that he was silent on Measure 2?

What was Platner's position on Question 2?

Governor Mills Announces Opposition to Question 1 In her weekly radio address and column today, Governor Janet Mills urged Maine people to reject Question 1 on the November 4th ballot, saying the proposal would make it harder for many Mainers to exer...

Weird that it’s phrased as “backed by Platner campaign” when Gov Mills was also publicly opposed:

Honestly he's kind of an amazing case study on guys who flip ideologies because they just like violence. You could write an entire thesis on patriarchy from these three paragraphs alone

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Eleanor never ordered the indefinite internment of citizens based on race

Leslie Odom Jr et al at the _Hamilton_ curtain call

_Hamilton_ at the Rodgers, the first performance after Mamdani’s victory. “Immigrants: we get the job done“ got riotous, thunderous applause

(Also Leslie Odom Jr was there)

Name a ”high level member of the DNC” who is unhappy with yesterday’s results

Here in the real world, Democrats across the board are elated

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

Not a joke: Mamdani should appoint him head of the Office of Animal Welfare

Let’s do this, TN! @aftynbehn.bsky.social for the win in the Dec 2 special election!🇺🇸

Aftyn for Congress FEED KIDS. FIX ROADS. FUND HOSPITALS.

Now that Nov 4th is in the books, I'd like to draw people's attention to the special election next month in TN-7, where my West Point classmate Matt van Epps is running as a truly embarrassing MAGA sycophant, while Rep. Aftyn Behn is running to "Fix Roads, Feed Kids, and Fund Hospitals."
