empty seats can't melt supreme court justices

I’m Jewish. I lived in New York for a decade. I am very, very concerned about antisemitism.

I have no doubt that Zohran Mamdani would fight to protect my life and my rights. I have no doubt the ADL has entirely failed to protect me and my family from fascists.

I know where my allegiance lies.

they're calling it the worst take of all time

No, that's not going to work. Time is linear, you can't retroactively appoint someone. If she had no authority to present an indictment to the Grand Jury at the time, then the indictment's a nullity.

You can appoint her NOW, and she can re-present. But the SOL kept running in the interim

good news! trumps narcissism will not allow them to learn anything from this lol

This is very true, and there are a lot of really good reasons why. I think a huge part is that, due to age and not being born in the U.S., he doesn't have the Obama-as-template fixation that so many on the left think is the default for a "good" speech. bsky.app/profile/jame...

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.

This person took this when they called the race

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

mamdani won after you moved to NYC. he got the covered Michael bump. where Michael goes progressive wins follow

NYC has fallen. hope you're doing terrible you evil. ghoul

Just let me get the leak of what the NYPD group chats post about Zohran

dick cheney is a war criminal bro

I say this a bulwark plus member. Fuck all the way off with this whitewashing bullshit.

turns out the 51st Infantry of Fairfax Wine Moms wants to see people on the fucking wall

Kindly remove yourself from the dead man’s colon, ma’am.

I got to know Pittsburgh by canvassing every weekend for Kamala Harris, and I will knock on every damn door in Pittsburgh for @conorlambpa.bsky.social if he primaries John Fetterman.

an addendum:

some have discomfort at the possibility that he will be like Obama. To contradict myself I think it's very unlikely in part because of the individual which I discount so often. Obama was indifferent to Israel, yes, but he was also indifferent to us. Thus he was deferential to Israel.

Just a constant drumbeat of “those big city Democrats have forgotten about you, they are out of touch, they don’t care about you,” which is just the Republican grievance message in service of “common sense” politics.

the democratic base deserves politicians who actually like them, share their priorities, and appreciate their way of live. enough of these aristocratic assholes who act like we should be so grateful for them to even pretend to give half a fuck about us

matt yglesias has the blob from Inside rolling around on a treadmill inside his big stupid head. who cares what he says dude

I'm very concerned about my party's popularity. that's why I constantly highlight internal divisions, stir up intrafactional strife, and loudly broadcast and complain about anything allegedly unpopular any party member has done, at any level of government

great example and argument for how damaging Jeffries and Schumer have been as leaders

this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

doesn't seem like bill understood it when he said he changed and he constantly lectures the left to stop fighting with the right

I forgot the comma. God, help me and my mentions.

God casting a vote for Mamdani felt so good.
