"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

I love that MSNBC execs seem to have watched John Leguizamo in "The Menu" and loved the idea for a travel/cooking show his character was pitching so much that they just ended up giving it to him IRL "At the end I say maybe racism is not so good, boom-bam, Emmy time"

Also a shoutout to the selfish ass gerontocracy

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.

mamdani's win has made the ny times, the washington post, fox news, trump, third way, and the democratic establishment very mad excellent.

Steve Harvey: Name a holiday where nobody counts calories Family Feud contestant: October Me: THAT'S NOT A HOLIDAY

they spread lies about any progressive who takes power because they like republicans and want them to rule over us.

Any excuse to repost an all-time Bluesky banger

"This being on TV I consider a victory for the shitposter community"

Something the Mamdani win demonstrates is the extent to which the reigning cadre of ancient, establishment, centrist Dems think it’s more important to be on good terms with their GOP colleagues than it is to represent their own voters, and how thoroughly sick of this literally everyone is.

Brooklyn, the Burrough with the most Jewish people living there, is currently breaking 49-32 to Mamdani over Cuomo so I'm going to venture a guess and say that some Jews likely voted for him and like him! Lander is Jewish and he cross endorsed Mamdani!

Cry more, fash freaks

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Andrew Cuomo to join Harvard's Institute of Politics.

Lander is a good egg

This chart tells you everything you need to know about the NYC mayoral race. Everyday New Yorkers vs money.

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.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

We've already seen the initial story evolve. That will continue. This is what the sequence of headlines will be.

HAVE YOU REGISTERED FOR THE DRAFT YET

Also wrestling tradition is to “go out on your back” - lose to up & coming wrestlers in your final match Meanwhile Dems NEVER pass the torch, refusing to boost the next generation even when they’re in their 80s and/or literally dying

When your neighborhood gardener faces the prospect of being sent to a Taliban torture chamber in Afghanistan, sold into slavery in Libya or murdered by a gang in Honduras, the moral thing to do is to hide them

"You gotta read this blistering dissent from Sonia Sotomayor in the 6-3 Shittingworth v. Illinois case" "You gotta watch highlights of this team's offense in the game where they got blown out on the road" Yea no thanks I'm all set

I told my gf after the NBA finals the remote is hers until September. Hope i don't regret that

Yeah, I read the Volokh piece. So let me be as clear as possible: If you would give that paper a passing grade, you should not be teaching law students.

That's what it is.

I still think this is a strong contender for the funniest video ever uploaded. Absolutely unbeatable comedic rhythm

a sitting federal judge — appointed by trump of course — awarded a student for a paper that basically says dred scott was right and should have gone further
