I'm basic and I love that thing. The ones on Santa Monica east of Vermont too.

This is ABSOLUTELY true. It's also true that the reason they lost yesterday is that they won last time. (They were weird freaks before that election too.) The electorate is endlessly irritating.
the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

But really—frame this as what it is:
Public, palpable FEAR.

The American ppl loudly rejected MAGA and ICE and Trump last night.* And his response is to say, openly: MAGA’s future rests in not letting ppl vote.

Any other framing is dishonest, and needs to be publicly called out as such.

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”
I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

This morning I woke up and saw that Mamdani ad about Vito Marcantonio and was so stunned and excited by it that I wrote my first newsletter in months about Zohran, voting, Maine, New York socialism and my late grandmother. substack.com/inbox/post/1...
It's been forever...and yet: today!
Maine, New York City, Murphy Brown, Zohran Mamdani and the first Rebecca Traister

TAKE NOTE
Without LGBT New Yorkers, Cuomo might’ve won. Mamdani’s genuine and relentless support of trans rights was not only morally correct, but an electoral necessity.
Centrist dems want buses running over LGBT people. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants free and clear bus lanes instead. The difference won him the election.

AMEN
This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.
Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

All you anti Muslim bigots who spread nothing but the most vile hate against Mamdani, I'm here for your meltdowns and tantrums.

I'm all the way petty.

Your tears are sugar for my chai.

When you're compromised by foreign powers you do what you can to make sure those outsiders can have access, rather than actually securing the system. 🤦
The FCC's leadership appears satisfied with promises and voluntary commitments from ISPs, which the agency says make the requirements unnecessary.

Every stop on the Yamanote-sen, and where to ride on the train for every exit and transfer at every stop.

Tokyo truly is train junkie heaven.
Oh look it's that bitch.
Nihonbashi, mile marker 0 for the country, now and then. I like the 1911 bridge; I do not like the 1962 elevated highway.
"Critics say" would be lazy journalism for a high school newspaper. But that's the bar our ostensible Paper Of Record is failing.
I guess we’ll have to wait another day for the Times to report out a piece on how a serial sexual harasser would be able to work with women

Today it’s reminding readers that Zohran didn’t major in economics or government at Bowdoin like the kids your kid went to Dalton or Montclair HS with

Tokyo Memorial Hall, in memory of the victims of the Great Kanto Earthquake (1 September 1923) and the fire bombing of Tokyo (worst night, 9-10 March 1945, 100,000 dead; 1M homeless). A city flattened, twice in 22 years.

Same span of time since I was last here.
