Glued to this race from out in California. It’s That Resonant, and That Relevant.

Yet the anti Cuomo momentum is and will be tremendous, and ultimately transformative for community power and solidarity, not only in NYC but everywhere. There are no moral victories but in certain crucial ways the people have already won.

Hugs to you. Grateful for his courage, and to you for all your efforts, which honor his memory deeply.

Go to insta or FB—that’s where folks put their yards, vacations, families and personal fun stuff.

This is an outrage. On several levels. Hugs to everyone.

That was an absolutely unadulterated rebuke and takedown of AC on Lehrer today. Fun to hear, notwithstanding the irony of it coming from BdB.
The pro Andy guest was decidedly uncompelling too.

Homan did the ‘agents are just following orders’ routine and said complainers should talk to their representatives.
No serious pushback from the host.

Happy visions of teach-ins, food pantries, community pre-K and day care among all the liberated spaces in tall buildings with central park views that the B$aires will leave behind….

Sure, but what you’re correctly defining as corruption is experienced by most folks in media as ‘business as usual’ and they choose not to, or are unable to, manifest a critical analysis that questions it.

Time for the nomenclature to evolve. These Dems aren’t moderate, they are right of center, conSERVative democrats.

So….crickets from the Dem party unless it’s: “we basically agree but the administration is going too fast and too harsh.” Wish the so-called opposition party had a Robust and Courageous defense of immigrants. Not a peep from Dems about Carol from MO. Pathetic.

Too bad the ‘leadership’ of the so-called opposition party has nothing visionary to offer….could really use a courageous informed perspective but doesn’t look likely.

Dumb phone movement looks more and more appealing….us geezers actually remember life with libraries and land lines and meeting people serendipitously. It was pretty great.

AIPAC is standing by to run anyone decent out of an insecure seat, and its mere presence disciplines plenty of others who are cowardly or like AIPAC $.

Youth feel generally oppressed, hemmed in, in their day to day lives at school work and home. Out in public they feel inclined to Bust Out and express themselves unhindered, and of course to test boundaries.
They’re also just being kids.
I hate intrusive public sounds, my sympathies.

Is it same people who decided to attract cars to drive down a DHPark service road in winter conditions just to look at fake plastic displays of what’s Already There IRL? Maybe have folks walk instead of drive, and look at the REAL deer instead of fakes? (Charm City Lights)

All hail the many bus drivers of
MTA Baltimore, who are (either de facto or intentionally) letting quite a few folks get around gratis.

Check out Lynne Sachs’ film Investigation of a Flame. Nice little documentary about the Catonsville Nine.

Build Back Better in its original design might’ve succeeded, and two consecutive Dem terms were needed for it to sink in. Too little too brief too late. And…as usual the messaging was nowhere to be found.

Abhorrent crime, doesn’t erase the fact that while we are splitting these hairs hundreds per day are being slaughtered over there, paid for by our tax dollars. IDF is bulldozing every building every structure and starving the people.

What are you referring to? Sincerely curious. What is clout chasing? What is lefty pablum? Can’t think offhand of any leftists with ‘clout’. Are liberals and leftists the same in your taxonomy? Just wondering.

That was an excellent episode and that’s a key list of names. I might add Ed Zitron and Timnit Gebru….?

Maher isn’t a liberal except on certain social issues, maybe? But that’s easily negated by his troglodytic toxic-maleness. Can’t we rid these Rogan and Maher types from the discourse?? Ugh

Whatever it takes to take Gavin down before 2028 gets going. He’s demonstrated that he’s no friend of the downtrodden and would make a terrible president.

Let’s see—the military, and its herd of tax dollar slurping grifters, donates to Both parties, and serves the interests of One class: (ruling class). So…they’re ‘Bi-Partisan’ but from perspective of the Stakes: they’re a singular tool of the wealthy to maintain the status quo.

And how about Zuck’s properties? Read about the book Careless People by Sarah Wynn Williams….we should all run screaming from FB et al.

@roseaguilar I hope you and the Your Call team at KALW will consider having Ms. Kelly as a guest on the show!

@roseaguilar.bsky.social needs to bring you on KALW Your Call program to discuss this.

Bay Area resident here. Forgive the dumb Q: how do we get Google to contribute to the local economy? Any hope of passing and enforcing some legislation?

He’s pretty loathsome. Important to remember he’s basically a repub. Dad was a Getty family consigliere, Gavin was ‘selected’ by SF power players (ruling class GOP and their Dem lackeys like W Brown) to have a political career.

Thanks to all who are keeping this story in the discourse. Harm R folks have worked So Hard for decades, in the face of blame, misunderstanding, abuse and harassment. Between the mayors, the Gov and the tech bros it’s like SF is a right wing town now.

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social also has good critique this piece.

Well, they’ll all blame the loss of the program on Biden! And its eventual reinstatement on DJT.

They’re also apparently bad when being worn by youth protesting on behalf of occupied civilians suffering bombs and famine, but masks are good when worn by NYPD sent to arrest and pummel the protesters.

Plus it was never about altruism anyway. Plenty of agendas, angles, and subtexts behind every act of diplomatic ‘magnanimity’.

Problem is that Dems make promises when campaigning and then fail to keep them when elected.

Here in Baltimore they have digital billboards on trucks that drive around calling JVP ‘terrorists’ etc.
