In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

It’s hard to overstate how angry rank and file Dems are at the Dem establishment right now. And if I were a self-preservationist incumbent I would take note.

Trump’s ICE is tearing at the fabric of our city and what makes us proud to be Americans. From my conversation with @kaitlancollins.bsky.social on @cnn.com earlier tonight.

Democrats are still supporting ICE, which is now a lawless, violent Gestapo for the Trump regime that is terrorizing innocent communities and assaulting Senator Padilla. Just sit with it for a moment.

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

If we can make more regular people aware that "the machine that can't stop getting things wrong is going to raise your power bill whether you use it or not", I think we can get more people to reject generative AI. People in Baltimore are already sick of BGE rate hikes as it is.

Fundamentally it makes sense to have a diverse and inclusive society and to treat people ethically, and societal standards change all the time but high pressure social conformity prevents innovation and makes progress slower and this is why fundamentally you don’t have smart fascists

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties.

I feel like “we can no longer trade with China” is really not being priced into the market reaction here pretty sure they think they can bully him out of that too but I’m not sure I’d take that bet, China seems uninterested in giving him a PR win

What a summary of the anti-trans movement: March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Colossal Bioscience did not revive dire wolves, despite a sensationalist Time Magazine cover story. Making genetically modified animals that are cosplaying as extinct species is not de-extinction.

Always good on Appomattox day to remember that Robert E. Lee was a vile human being whose historical portayal as a reluctant defender of slavery is based on complete fabrication. He was a committed white supremacist who believed slavery reflected a natural order and commanded his army as such.

I'd add that the portrayal of Lee as a military genius is also completely dishonest. Lee was directly responsible for the strategic decision that lost the war for the Confederacy (1863 invasion of the north) and made that decision for dumb and foolish reasons.

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.
