the reason my likely presidential candidate tier list has two people at the top - Ossoff and AOC - is that they are by far the most effective messengers of I Am Fucking Furious And There Must Be Consequences, which is the most deeply held conviction of the Dem base
Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

Yikes, if this is accurate, its basically the owner class using their power to shut down dissent. The Patriots Robert Kraft told Sheerhan his concert would be cancelled if Mackelmore stayed on the your, and that other stadium owners would follow suit.
Banned: Macklemore's powerful statement deserves reading.

Anyone who has issues with Mamdani attending the commemoration is a bigot, Islamophobe, and/or racist. That's it.
This is somehow still going, and it’s not just a few random families now; it’s also a former mayor of NYC and governor of New York. There is, again, no way to reason to argue Mamdani shouldn’t attend this commemoration that isn’t fundamentally bigoted

stop letting people scare you into thinking DSA is bad. The people who are trying to scare you want to make sure you have less power than they do and they stay rich.

This isn't just a matter of political gamesmanship. The leadership of the BK Dems controls the selection of local judges, who have enormous, often *life-changing* impacts on the lives of everyday NYCers. And now they're insulating that process even further from any kind of democratic accountability.

The entire body of the DNC literally voted yesterday to include abolishing ICE in their platform. How can you have a majority leader who is against the platform?
Jeffries stop short of committing to holding a vote to abolish ICE is he's House Speaker next January, but says he's "committed to dramatically reforming ICE ... the masks should come off, body cameras should come on, judicial warrants should be required."

Abdul’s physical stature is going to drive them nuts, not unlike the way AOC’s attractiveness drives them over the edge.
It brings me great joy to tell everyone that over on X Dean Cain is shouting into the wind that Abdul needs to provide proof he was the captain of his high school football team, and readily provides proof of his own HS footy career, since, ya know, that's when Dean peaked. 🤭

Weird how much discourse around the Mamdani grocery stores ignores the existence of the Green Cart intiative (launched under Bloomberg) that provides subsidized fruit and vegetable stands across the city under the exact same logic as the grocery stores
