Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future. Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

LOOKING FOR HOW HE DID IT? we covered it!

Look at what God will do. الله أكبر

So I did say earlier today that I'd be fine with the Mets losing for the rest of the year if it means Mamdani is the dem nom for mayor (so basically mayor) and while we have to wait a week to be sure, this might be on me #Mets #LGM

Mr. Mamdani do you recognize the right to say FUCK ANDREW CUOMO?

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT Out. Every last one. Out.

It's important to understand that centrists DO NOT ACTUALLY care about crime statistics EXCEPT as a way to weaponize them against particular groups of people.

Yup. This is a massive problem. It’s not like it promptly cools down at 5pm. A lot of our ‘cooling centers’ are simply gov’t buildings. Open at their normal hours. Doing normal business.

It's going great guys

New Yorkers *especially* more than anyone else need a mayor they can yell at. It's how we bond

this is how someone who doesn't live here would describe our problems

Yeah yeah ww3 but I just found out I'm older than Mamdani. Gonna need the rest of the week to process this

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

Going to war with Iran is a dumb idea for a ton of reasons, you do not need to overreact and carry water for the Iranian government. The Iranian government sucks. Still a bad idea to go to war with them. You just do not under any circumstances have to hand it to the Iranian government.

Learning enough to know "how to learn more" on your own is one of the most important and rewarding skills to have as a scientist and scholar. A joy and a gift

“Mr. Clinton said he was drawn to Mr. Cuomo because ‘We’re both sexual harassers who live in Westchester.’”

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

The legal profession has had an unaddressed moral rot since the end of the Warren era and the rise of textualism, because: 1. It's arguably the least diverse profession in the US; 2. Everything is an intellectual discourse; 3. The law is seen as an end in itself instead of a means to that end.

They were just calling their factories plantations and using slurs when I bought my mine.

Yeah, I'm in the "just going to scream at people" phase today.

Only true during SantaCon

It's a start

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The NYT was cited in the Supreme Court ruling used to strip trans people of healthcare. This is EXACTLY WHY the “just asking questions” crowd of centrist edgelord journalists are dangerous. They launder transphobia through faux neutral “debate” and act like it’s intellectual curiosity

ppl (including me) wonder why D messaging is so bad...but I think a big part of the problem re schumer and some others is that they actually do not give a shit about marginalized people and their messaging is a sincere reflection of their indifference. 1

All my love to fellow gender dropouts, to the trans folks, to the queers, to the gender deviants. They can't legislate you or me out of existence because someone just like us is being born right now. And that will keep happening. And we will do everything we can to build the world they need.

Not a fan of Justice Alito referring to Black people as “blacks” throughout his opinion in Skrmetti.

This is 10x more important if you're neurodivergent I've found. For me it's been a critical make or break skill when my adhd symptoms have gotten me in a bind with work/school/etc

People aren't generally ready for a boot in their ass either but if "all this trans stuff" is too much for them to handle boot it is

I said a version of the part about figuring it out to a group chat like an hour ago You stay good at thinking by doing thinking. There's no way around that. If you let someone else do your thinking for you, they're sharpening their skills while yours decline. Same with an LLM.

This is one of the things I used to talk about a lot. One of the characteristics of Whiteness is that it cannot be interrogated. It cannot be assigned traits. Whiteness and its works are treated as "default". Never part of a trend that can be identified. Especially if that trend is negative.

"... the same media and political institutions that claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, only to be proven catastrophically wrong, are again failing to ask the most obvious questions. ... Why is a nuclear power that is actively on trial for genocide not the focus of urgent global concern?"

"The Only Democracy in the Middle East" is arresting protesters for wearing "Stop The War" t-shirts. One officer said the slogan "is something that's illegal to have on a shirt." Gift link www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

95% of @aramark.bsky.social workers at Fenway Park & MGM Music Hall voted YES to authorize a strike! 💪🏽 #unionstrong #GoSox

I was thinking this morning about small-town No Kings protests. In April, I door knocked for the WI Supreme Court race in a rural area. Most of the people I talked to thought they were the only non-Trumper in their neighborhood, and many were wrong. I hope some of them found that out yesterday.

Instead there is a push for story after story about "polarization" and "divided America" - in my experience this is almost always the framing from those making editorial decisions.

Nikki created this reformatted version of "Some Actions that Are Not Protesting or Voting" and it looks great. Feel free to share. Thanks Nikki. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

RALLY HATS ASSEMBLE

Mets RISP mechanics: All Mets players take a penalty to hits per level of RISP, *except* Edwin Diaz who gets a bonus to strikeouts per RISP #Mets #LGM

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.
