mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

This account will be equal parts hopeful and gloating for the rest of the evening. To that end: Pour one out for the pile of NYC billionaire money that was utterly incinerated tonight!

Think about how miserable Chuck Schumer and Hakeen Jeffries are right now and how they're not fit to lead in this moment and how New York needs to primary both their asses.

Is Debra Messing on su*c*de watch?

So which shithead pundits are already posting "doesn't matter, America is a center-right country" takes?

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

If you’re still in line, STAY IN LINE

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

ah yes, aristocracies — known the world over for their innovation, flexibility and capacity to meet new challenges

So Schumer never did endorse, huh. Nor Gillibrand. Just irredeemable pieces of shit, the entire NY senate delegation

OK to be serious for a second: Dick Cheney won. This is the kind of presidency he spent his entire career fighting to establish.

Like many revolutionaries, he was devoured by those who followed in his wake; but when it comes to his chief goal — formally installing an imperial presidency — he won.

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

And this is how I found out that Dick Cheney died.

Zohran Mamdani knows how to win Not just in New York — Mamdani's campaign shows how to inspire voters nationwide

The Democratic establishment's ugly reaction to Zohran Mamdani reveals an unpleasant truth.

They would rather lose elections than change.

The addiction to rich donors and consultants is killing the party. But Mamdani shows a path out. An analysis.

Red Trump-style graphic with images of Donald Trump and Andrew Cuomo. At the top it says, "I'm going to pick [Cuomo]." - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes Interview, 11-2-25 Then beneath it TRUMP ENDORSES CUOMO

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

it is not remarked upon enough that these guys just genuinely and sincerely hate america and hate americans

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

James Gunn’s American Project He is few critics’ idea of a respectable auteur, but his work is more consistently progressive than any other comic-book material today.

Here’s @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social going deep on the surprisingly clear anti-fascist politics and humanism in James Gunn’s work. He’s careful not to fully spoil the funniest multilayered joke on white privilege and Nazis I’ve seen all decade in movies & tv www.vulture.com/article/jame...

lol Obama should call Hakeem Jeffries to yell at him for his terrible political instincts tbh

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

The Firewall Against Nick Fuentes Is Crumbling The white-supremacist influencer is entering the MAGA mainstream.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

As a disability advocate, I think it’s appalling how many people are fine letting disabled folks starve because they think “survival of the fittest” means we should die.

But here’s the thing… no one should be starving.

The richest country in the world can afford to feed everyone.

As for men’s clothes. A black down vest, white shirt, and black pants. All looks like Han Solo’s wardrobe

I keep getting this ad for men’s clothing. It’s absolutely wild that it took this long for Han Solo Core to catch on.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Screenshot of an article headline "AI layoffs to backfire: Half quietly rehired at lower pay" with "at lower pay" being highlighted

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.

_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

Trying to blame the Dems cutting off SNAP (while sitting on billons of available contingency funds) as his boss bulldozes the WH to build a ball room like Saddam's palace, sends $40 billion to bail out Argentines, and eats "gold adorned" brownies in Korea is not gonna work.

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.
