running the government like a business was always an idea for cold war addled dipshits and ECON 101 casualties but it's moreso than ever in a world where the most successful businesses either buy and kill Toys R Us and hospitals, or spy on you and sell your weaknesses to villains

Zohran Mamdani says, "For too long, politicians have pretended that we're spectators to that crisis of affordability. We're actually actors, and we have the choice to exacerbate it, like mayor Adams has done, or to respond to it and resolve it, like I'm planning to do."

Mamdani: For too long, politicians have pretended that we're spectators to that crisis of affordability. We're actually actors. Elected Democrats are going to hate him for calling out their shtick of projecting learned helplessness. Too bad! Sucks to be them—pick up a shovel and get to work!

Democrats get flak for being spineless but there's nothing more pathetic than a Republican's thirst to live in a police state. These guys have never met a boot they won't smooch. Nauseating!

Billionaire Bill Ackman is now saying that there are "hundreds of million of dollars" available to back a challenger to Zohran Mamdami. This is a billionaire refusing to respect democracy, and refusing to respect a vote that chose people over profit.

Buffalo’s acting mayor is a staunch police union ally who has attacked efforts to crack down on police misconduct, & has also called for rollbacks to the 2019 bail reform law. He lost last night in his primary, and it wasn’t close.

The Medicaid cuts in the Republican budget bill would hurt nearly half of America’s kids. If the bill passes it would mean a distinctly worse health care situation for about 37 million children.

Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

The Democratic Party and 'centrist' commentariat's freakout about Zohran Mamdani is exposing both their actual alignments and their propaganda tools (eg, baseless accusations of "antisemitism," fear-mongering about the supposed coming flight of the rich from taxes, etc.) with unusual clarity.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.
