SCOTUS is aiming to undo birthright citizenship and the VRA and keeps gutting the first amendment, while GOP is set to pass a bill that outlaws green energy and kills medicare, so Hakeem is ready to do what must be done: direct all fire at the charismatic leftist promising better through solidarity

Thank god for Mamdani. He’s forcing the kind of fights that simply need to be had if the Democrats are going to have any chance of realigning the party toward the kind of coalition capable of winning in 2028.

Teachers are not state-subsidized personal tutors for your kid. They are public servants. They are providing education on behalf of society as a whole, in fulfillment of YOUR CHILD's individual rights as an independent person you do not own!

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

This isn't all of the story, but a surprisingly big part of the "fear" of Mamdani isn't actually that he'll institute full communism, it's that people's friends-and-influence groups will be demoted from their positions of authority

On a day when two Democratic state reps were shot and millions of people took to the streets to defy a president putting on a military parade in his own honor, this is how the biggest names in the Democratic Party spent their time. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

Ah, time for that great annual tradition: forking over $500 to my professional organization just to get in the door of their conference – a meeting at which I will present scholarly work for free, use up my whole travel budget for the year, and not receive even a single cup of coffee in return.

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. <Later> Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.

The mainstream/centrist punditocracy seems to exist in an alternate universe around discussing protests where 1) BLM happened while Joe Biden was President and 2) it resulted in an electoral wipeout for Dems

"A society can't allow EVERYBODY to have free speech!" is a helluva take.

These kind of appeals from Dems to focus on the GOP's legislative activity might make some sense if they had themselves actually demonstrated any interest in mounting an organized congressional resistance over the last 6 months.

another reason why doing this immigration stunt in CA was so stupid: it forces centrist Democrats like Newsome who had been providing soft cover for crackdowns of various sorts to actually shift into oppositional gear.

The decision to pull this stunt in LA is truly insane. Enormous population, huge geographic area, overwhelmingly hostile public opinion, national media and cultural hub… just every reason you can imagine not to do this there.

How can you expect voters to take a party seriously when people who call for Cuomo to resign as governor for being a serial sexual harasser turn around and endorse him for mayor, and people who called Musk a Constitution-breaking Nazi turn around and invite him to the party?

On one level Musk seems somewhat outgunned here, but on another level he seems perfectly adequately gunned to kill the reconciliation bill, which would be like leaving the duel winner gut-shot.

The implication of this is that the Board was seriously considering trying to void tenure track contracts (very, very bad!), but that faculty pushback worked (very good!).

It is by no means an exaggeration to say that many, many people who work in politics don't actually believe in anything but making money in a white collar career of consequence. You can't explain this kind of thing any other way.

I'm struggling to conceive of how morally empty one has to be not just to think, but to say out loud in a public forum, that we should tell a child who is a bit different, "sorry, but you can't play here". (And then, how a journalist could frame that as the compassionate approach.)

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Sorry, but I don't think a party which remains led mostly by 70 and 80 year olds and can't seem to mount any sustained institutional action on anything has the luxury of just memory-holing how it spent years propping up a president who was too old for the office.

Put me down as extremely skeptical of the idea that Democrats should just ignore the new Biden revelations – as if the question of how best to respond to Trumpism now and in the future has nothing at all to do with the dynamics in and around the party which led to Biden running in 2024.

It's absolutely not common sense. It's not only historically illiterate, it also ignores the actual status of languages in the parts of the UK that aren't England.

If this new pope ends up being even remotely progressive, his selection will turn out to have been a master stroke by the Catholic cardinals: they will have cut the bloc of American conservative cardinals/bishops off at the knees completely.
