Strong night for left: —Mamdani will finish well ahead in 1st round. —All challenged NYC Progressive Caucus councilors will win, that's 10 of them. —Left may add new councilors (e.g. some AOC- or WFP-endorsed non-incumbents up) —The more liberal (WFP-endorsed) candidates up in Syracuse and Buffalo

occupydemocrats Texas' "pro-life" governor just VETOED funding for a lunch program for low-income children over the summer, forgoing $450 million in federal funds. STOP. VOTING. FOR. THESE. JERKS. Having more hungry kids does NOT "make America great" in ANY way, shape or form.

"As a person of color living in New York City under the age of 30—with all my dreams of being able to afford to live here—his winning makes me feel like that’s actually possible." @serenaalin.bsky.social reports from inside Zohran Mamdani's jubilant watch party in Queens.

I think a lot of people today are so far removed from the past that they forget that infant mortality was once so high that it skewed life expectancy down to 35.

Your fun fact for the day: Mary Shelley, who wrote Frankenstein, was promised her husband's heart for all time. After Percy Shelley died and was cremated Mary kept that promise by retrieving the partially calcified heart that had survived, wrapping it in one of his poems, and keeping it in her desk.

PEOPLE LIKE POLITICIANS WHO GENUINELY WANT TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER. key words there are "genuinely want". people can smell falseness. policy quibbles are, I think, considerably less importance than just anyone willing to say "the world can be better, and I want to make that happen"

GQuuuuuuX has what I call Maverick Syndrome, like Starwars, Startrek & Topgun Maverick all do: Millenials and Gen X don't want to put their toys down or pass the torch to a new generation. They make it about themselves. Anything new orbits old, concilliary to try and make the youth like old thing.

People complaining about NYC race getting too many posts need to understand that it is (1) extraordinarily funny content and (2) it's a blueprint to reversing lots of the bad stuff on a national level

I understand that they don't give a single shit about us, but it's really disappointing to see zero news coverage about how the court order to restore passport gender marker self-selection is being willfully ignored.

Ted Cruz just said Mr. Abrego has been charged with Human Trafficking. Cruz proclaims "I read every word of that indictment!" Apparently not, because Abrego was not charged with human trafficking. I hope this comes up in a motion to dismiss the charges.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Got a call from the wife of a cooperating witness in a case I prosecuted in the 90s. I’ve written a letter for him on occasion because he was a stand up guy who did a good job under duress. ICE just picked him up. He’s been in the country like 35 years.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

There’s been an increase in “Trad wife” content. Yet no corresponding “Trad husband” content where men are shown making a good income and being handy to support their trad wife. Kiss my ass. It’s all bs.

I got 60 copyright infringement hits from the Libgen database. So $9,000,000 for me? Even with the dollar currently taking a hit on the exchanges, that's £6,570,000. If the UK government wants to boost the economy, how about getting behind authors to enforce copyright law instead of selling us out?
