The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Most of the ideas mentioned in this article—higher minimum wage, free tuition at public colleges, higher taxes on the rich—are not only popular now but were realities in the past, including in NYC, during the booming postwar years, when America was “great.”/1 www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/u...

I’m a hardworking, taxpaying, churchgoing, grandkid-raising American citizen. And if I work all day long and want to go home, smoke a joint & just stare at the fireplace for 3 hours…that’s my civil liberty. ‪ @sarapayan.bsky.social‬ reports on my mission to end America's prohibition on marijuana:

My daughter and I saw a deer on our bike ride to camp this morning. I felt connected to myself, my child and nature. Biking makes me feel in love with the world.

we joke about Democrats being Skinner "no, it's the voters who are wrong" but it really gives the game away when an upstart candidate defeats a rich, dynastic, legacy Democrat with the help of a broad, diverse coalition that somehow also had all the rich people & Dems are still "I don't like that"

my dream career was destroyed by private equity; my fall-back career likely will be destroyed by AI, and I would just like my young kid at one point to be inspired by anything that isn’t optimized for profit. millennials, we are tired and we just want to live the lives we were supposedly promised.

We gotta do something about ESPN's NBA Draft coverage. Stephen A, who clearly learned these players' names at 3 p.m., yelling next to an ex-GM who visibly hates him but not enough. A reporter who looks like a jailed youth pastor leading a chant in Cooper Flagg's hometown draft... barn? Cursed stuff.

ESPN has done their best to make NBA coverage as dumb and annoying as possible. They couldn’t find actual draft analysts to talk about the draft? We get Stephen A. Smith???

Responses to the NYC result along the lines of "oh in country x, a establishment mutant would win," are entirely missing the point: the establishment mutant was unexpectedly defeated here. They can be everywhere if your game is good enough, and the game here was very good. It's time. Fight. Win.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Kraft has been lying about Boston’s bike lanes, & his super pac ads conflate Interstate tunnel traffic congestion with city streets. #mapoli & #bospoli deserve a leader who cares about every person using the finite streetscape.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re not really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

New Yorkers: If you haven't settled on your five candidates to rank for mayor, here's a simple metric to use: Rank the guy who was wrongly arrested for attempting to protect an immigrant from ICE, and the four people running against him who showed up to demand his release.
