If you're posting about how Trumpists deleting .gov websites is "erm, against the rules actually," you do not know the situation you are in. You are at least five years behind the situation you are in.

It's going to be an incredible few months of the New York Post doing stories about Manhattan Men Victimized By Congestion Pricing and then it instantly being revealed that the person interviewed is a billionaire because they invented "convenience fees" or hold the patent for Sinus Headaches.

dying at the way that people are complaining about the congestion pricing, revealing they live in the most embarrassing and debased way possible. it’s like they’re whining about the city outlawing your pants falling down and revealing your white boxers with hearts on them

They're so embarrassed that it took them a week to find him so they put on this show to try to look competent, but it only makes their insecurity and fragility more obvious. They seriously had the NYPD boats out there. Is this guy fucking Namor now?

The inflation, messaging and campaign strategy all matter, sure. But the extreme right is ascendant globally and generationally. The majority is fed up with global neoliberalism and only politicians that validate that can win. That's the scope to be using here.

In my new op-ed for @tnr.bsky.social: Democrats abandoned their base for a neoconservative pipe dream. That's why we, the people, must come in and transform the party, whether its entrenched leadership wants it or not: newrepublic.com/article/1881...

Gilead was the biggest sponsor of the AIDS Walk for years, even after this was pretty well established and covered. I'm just saying, take this knowledge forward and keep your eyes on companies that want to throw money at your cause, politician, sport, community center.

It's impossible to ignore the ascendant nihilism of this moment. I principally blame 40+yrs of neoliberalism but the pandemic really locked in the certainty that we're NOT all in this together. Wendy Brown is must-read on this. cup.columbia.edu/book/in-the-...
