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.

1. Curtis Sliwa, the GOP nominee for NYC Mayor, is refusing to get out of the race, something that anti-Mamdani folks have been pushing in the last 48 hours. Sliwa tells Politico, “I’m not getting out of this race unless they figure out a way to put me in a pine box and bury me six feet under.”

These 37 House Dems agree with Republicans that an adult international student sitting in a parked car with a can of beer should be deported. I'm not being sarcastic. That is what the bill they voted for would do. Read more: jonathancohn.medium.com/i-know-why-h...

I hate all this talk about how Jews in NYC are "scared" by Mamdani and I hate the implication that I should be too. Why should I be more scared of the progressive Palestinian supporter than I am of the literal white supremacists in the White House? Why am I not being told to fear Stephen Miller?

This is a shockingly racist call by a House Republican for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported. But instead of being viewed as unserious, it's now being promoted and circulated by LibsOfTikTok, Benny Johnson and MAGA regulars. Democrats need to understand that Republicans are serious.

my dudes there's no such thing as "too late" to regulate AI, that's a fake idea. AI models aren't untouchable data gods, they're algorithms hosted in cloud storage. Saying we can't regulate AI is like saying we can't deplatform Child P*rn bc "it's already out there". Like, 1s and 0s can be deleted
