Just weeks ago, it looked like the left was fragmented and Andrew Cuomo was inevitable in NYC. Now the left appears unified behind Zohran Mamdani in a race that could go all the way to November, no matter the primary outcome. Bob Kuttner has this report: prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

I honestly don’t know how any party that accepts this — and not saying the dems have — can ever again be competitive enough to overcome gerrymandering and voter inertia. The man did a Nazi salute. What are we doing here??

Btw, this is a major reason for the helicoptering and excessive screen time. Where are kids going and what can they do that doesn’t cost a ton of money/isn’t criminalized? And,the monstrous racist carcerality that it takes to be the prosecutor who does this to grieving parents? Cursed.

Honestly this scolding is so hilarious. Do you think the people of BlueSky are generally not aware of or jittering mad enough about the nuclear dumpster fire of a political situation we’re in which you - an elected - seem not to be doing a damn thing about? Sasha, what the fuck are you doing here?

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

In 7 states in the middle of the country, voters lost a crucial protection under the Voting Rights Act against racial discrimination. That loss is particularly harmful for the Native communities and other voters of color in these states.

Being in the monied elite has really led them to believe things that are self evidently untrue. You cannot buy peace from this admin. The price is never met & “negotiations” are always extortion that will be revisited at their will & whim. Too clever by half & too confused about what power is. ☹️

I’m an Afropunk girlie from a time when it just meant I’m the only Black girl in this pit&I had the pleasure of seeing Bloc Party’s transcendent opening show for 20 yr anniversary tour last night.Their song Pioneers was received w/ecstatic zeal & I continue to read it as a social mvmt anthem. Enjoy!
