Well, I was just hit with the unfortunate news that my time at Bethesda has come to an end. Iโm endlessly grateful for the opportunity to work on such incredible titles with such talented individuals. โค๏ธ

For everonye outside of germany, a superrich family fumbled dodging taxes and now paid the record sum of 4 BILLION euros.

From Austin DSA, congratulations to Zohran Mamdani and NYC DSA for yesterdayโs monumental victory in the New York City mayoral primary election. Policy that serves working class interests wins! We've done it before here in Austin, electing Mike Siegel to City Council last year, and Zohran's huge win shows that the Democratic Socialist movement can beat establishment politics.
Austin DSA congratulates Zohran Mamdani and @socialists.nyc for their monumental win in the NYC mayoral primary election. This victory shows that working-class politics can triumph over establishment politics for city leadership.
Letโs keep up the momentum, join DSA: dsausa.org/join
And then this shit just came out.
When youโre making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. Itโs a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When youโre making $23k a year, losing $1600 is โare we paying for food or for the house or for medical billsโ territory.
Hi friends! If you're currently celebrating a Zohran win, you should keep an eye out for these races:
1) Kat Abughazaleh in IL-9 is a Palestinian-American woman running for Congress. Kat is running a mutual aid-based campaign. What if we helped people NOW instead of waiting for after the election?
I think one of the big takeaways here is not that Mamdani is a generational talent as some assert but rather that people in this country are so hungry for politicians with actual vision that any reasonably charismatic young socialist who puts in a strong ground game can pull this off elsewhere
