I hope there's a course correction, but it's incredibly plausible that Hollywood's desire to not offend reactionaries ends up costing us 20-ish years of more diverse stories, roughly akin to the comparative drought of POC and queer stories in the '80s and '90s when compared to the '70s.

@baltimorebeat.bsky.social has led the way on the coverage of the crisis of police violence and mental health services in our city recently and it’s been a real honor to be a part of it. Here are some of the stories from the past couple weeks.

Truly I don't know how to describe this insane media culture we live in. We have the numbers for how many millions conservatives put into campaigns to spread disinformation and moral panics, we have the stats on right wing extremism growth, and yet, it is actually the left's fault because???

“Hundreds of protesters lined part of U.S. Highway 41 that slices through the marshy Everglades — also known as Tamiami Trail — as dump trucks hauling materials lumbered into the airfield.”

Just to underscore--the president is attending the opening of an immigrant tent city that was purposely built (in one week) on an abandoned airfield in the middle of the Florida Everglades because it's surrounded by alligators and pythons to deter people from fleeing, or kill them if they do.

the bar is so low that it's in the center of the earth and yet there are Dems who still somehow find a way to bonk their heads on it so much so, in fact, that chris van Hollen has to become one of the most memorable members of the party simply by consistently saying "racism is bad"

Senator Van Hollen has consistently shown up for justice and humanity of all people, including for Muslims. And he's done so unapologetically. He should be the Democratic Party Senate leader.

The fact we don’t regularly have “should billionaires exist” discourse while regularly discussing “should we have social services for the poor and middle class” tells you a lot about why Mamdani and others are very good for shifting the Overton Window.

MEDIA: Are you a communist? MAMDANI: I am not ... I call myself a democratic socialist in many ways inspired by the words of Dr. King from decades ago, who said: 'Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, there has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God's children'

Not that anyone asked for my opinion on this, but I agree, in that the approach of the campaign was "the art of the possible" as opposed to the momentum of grievance. The us-vs.-them nature of two-party politics seek no answers, solutions, or ambitions, and the Mamdani campaign did.

We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent. Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.

What struck me about this paper was not just the very high prevalence of cognitive impairment and memory issues as sequelae of infection, but also that the population effects of such high rates of cognitive dysfunction must be changing society itself. bmcneurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Yes Mamdani is a digital native who's savvy about vertical video. But this Ezra Klein @chrislhayes.bsky.social convo ignores the (as it were) IRL ubiquity of the candidate—& of his canvassers, who were omnipresent in the streets, who knocked on a zillion doors etc. This was a shoe leather victory.

Also the entire news media. There's really not that many Democrats on the anti-Mamdani beat but curiously virtually all of them are getting prime slots on cable news shows as if they speak for all Democrats. It makes you think!

It would be tempting to find the “antisemitism panic” re Mamdani laughably absurd, & yet I’m reminded of the “DEI” & “trans panics.” The fact that ppl w power are able to say absurd things in public shld be understood instrumentally: as anti-democratic calls for state violence
