The US basically gave ZM's father a gift, & he paid it back with his scholarship (v critical but v good) & teaching, & now by having a son in the US who may well serve as the mayor of our biggest city. That seems a pretty good deal for us all.

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee. Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

I really think the Senate should enact a rule that says: if you do not recall the answer to more than five questions about something you said or did within the last year, that will be taken as an indication of a serious neurological condition, and you will be put on disability leave.

Another thing I haven’t seen people talking about is how unapologetically pro-trans Zohran Mamdani has been during his campaign. The so called “vibe shift” is nothing more than an internet algorithm astroturfed by billionaires.

Self-deportation isn’t a thing. ICE forced this Hawaiʻi resident to leave the country. He’s lived in the US for nearly 50 years, served in the military, received a Purple Heart for being shot in combat, but is being forced to leave for a drug offense.

There are a lot of Dems—electeds and staffers—out there who want to win elections, a lot who want to stand up to Trump more aggressively than the national party leadership, and a lot who want to run progressive issue-based campaigns. All three (overlapping!) groups got a powerful boost last night.

The style is driven by the substance! If you have a clear values system that drives policies, you can handle any comms tactic bc you know who you are. If your policies tend to be in response to where others are, it’s harder to be authentic bc there’s no core self to communicate.

something that i will go to my grave believe is that harris being able to put together and run the campaign she did that pulled the part back from the brink despite being boxed in with a 100 days and literally everyone in the party thinking she was a lightweight was incredible

I've been banging this drum for years now, I know, but Zohran's Big Night is a clear illustration of the power of giving people a vision of the future that boldly contradicts the rhetoric of Republican fearmongers. Not just "disagrees on policies," but actively paints a different image of the world.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

ok im going to bed but it's so nice how brad lander sticking his neck out in multiple ways - endorsing zohran and standing up to ICE - seem to have really paid off for him politically. it's encouraging when someone takes a political risk to do what's right and it actually brings returns

You know how the GOP was pushed rightward over time? A bunch of people frustrated with the party's moderation organized themselves to take over the party. They ran for precinct captain & elected office as more right-leaning Republicans. The far right transformed the GOP by outworking the moderates.

I think what establishment democrats need to understand is that most of us hate them all very much for being so persistently useless and shitty in our time of desperation and it fills our hearts with hope and joy when someone who might not be those things beats them.

In 2021, progressives in NYC failed to come together and the result was four years of a disastrous, corrupt Adams administration. In 2025, Lander and Mamdani formed a united front, and the result is that they beat Andrew Cuomo. Give this man his flowers, he put the city above his ego.
