Obviously this isn’t my specialty, but I think it is obvious: the upper classes in the u.s. are radicalized. They believe they must crush the poors; there is no respect for the lack of healthcare or the housing crisis or opioids. We are closer to a draft than we’ve ever been for a while.

If Democrats truly want to appeal to young men, they should probably start presenting themselves as the party that definitively won’t draft you into an illegal war.

We have a housing crisis that is impacting communities nationwide. I joined @lynch.house.gov & @ushousefsc.bsky.social in Brockton to hear directly from experts on what should be done federally to support affordable and public housing in America. We must affirm housing as a human right.

Rubio on CBS: "This wasn't a regime change move." Vance on ABC: "Well, first of all, we don't want to achieve regime change." Vance on NBC: "our view has been very clear that we don't want a regime change." Trump, not waiting even 24 hours to undercut and humiliate them:

That onion ad in the nytimes needs to be read by everyone. People are just so used to calling everything corrupt that they don’t really know what corruption looks like. It is cowardly half-measures, telling people what they want to hear, and rank opportunism. It should make us ashamed

Proud of these! I know from my conversations with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, and his public statements, that he wants to listen to the Hasidic community (where I was raised) and their needs, to talk and engage - like with every New Yorker. Using Hasidic Yiddish is just one of the ways!

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

It will never stop being a mindfuck to see the whole “we WILL confirm Trump nominees and vote for stupid Trump policies, but we have to draw the line somewhere: brown socialists who want to tax billionaires are TOO MUCH. We gotta go for the sex pest.”

To make a broader point, as of now, everyone needs to readjust their priors and be inherently skeptical about any video under 10 seconds long without cuts. That is where we are on the current state of AI video and audio.

We were very happy to give this scoop to @marisakabas.bsky.social's The Handbasket because it is important to support independent journalists who are doing the hard work at this time. Giving this story to Marisa also guarantees it will be in The Washington Post verbatim exactly 48 hours later.

So much NYC mayoral press coverage centers the views of racist psychopaths and ignores the MASSIVE numbers of Jewish New Yorkers working as paid staff and volunteers for the Zohran campaign. I wonder why!

one other side of this is something that I try to emphasize to my students: "what does freedom actually mean" is not a 21stC issue anachronistically read backwards into the 18thC. The US, French, and Haitian Revolutions happened at more or less the same time, with an overlapping cast of characters

There's no reward in the attention economy for saying 'actually I don't know what is to be done now.' If there were, we'd be better off.

I need fewer lawyers and political scientists in my feed here, and more anthropologists and sociologists. Too much talk about how things in the US and globally "can't" or "must not" happen because of laws, not enough about what laws actually are and aren't, and how that's presently manifesting.

If it takes all of this to eek out a "win" for Cuomo, then the establishment Dems should be extremely concerned about future elections. A lot of people are done with the Democratic party.

I'll just say this before heading out. If you're a young person in NYC, THIS IS YOUR TIME. The next couple of decades in this city are going to be shaped by what happens on Tuesday. Be part of the team that is turning the page on politicians like Cuomo. There are better choices.

Brown and Muslim lives are always seen as not as worthy, not as interesting, not troubled by domestic differences and historical traumas, not worthy of human interest stories, while at the same time they are always also expected to show restraint when stronger powers pummel their countries

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

I worry that escalating war with Iran will be used to whip up more fear and hate for non-white immigrants, particularly those of Arab descent, and be used for unjust deportations.

Here’s the thing. There are over 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the USA. Many of us have been tracking the right-wing capture of law enforcement for years and years. We’ve been talking about it. It’s well known.

One thing the Dem establishment never really got over was the fact that Hillary Clinton lost the 2008 nomination because she supported the Iraq War. Denial and anger followed rather than learning from that decision.
