Mamdani is well dressed, has to be very careful in his approach, and his record is damn near spotless. Platner is a fucking Blackwater merc with an SS tat and everyone from Sanders to Vigeland to fucking Jacobin is tripping over themselves to defend and equivocate. Fucking disgusting.

"[his] unfavorability isn't driven by *partisan asymmetry* in name recognition" right below the graph that a) lists him with the lowest unfavorability of all figures polled and b) suggests that his relative unfavorability is driven by *across the board* lack of name recognition. astounding

this article quotes multiple republican sources who are just completely over their skis on how people are going to react to this. total fantasy land.

Republicans are barreling toward an Obamacare subsidy cliff — with no unified plan

The White House has shown little urgency in extending the subsidies until shutdown ends.

one thing that's pretty clear from reading garbage like politico more often than is recommended is that republicans are now fully in denial about the shutdown and american perceptions of it, perceptions which are likely to get much, much more negative in about [checks notes] one week

Brown owl with prominent white “ear” tufts, staring forward while perched on a branch amid dense green foliage. It has some feathers in its talons, most likely from a bird it caught and ate.

A few weeks before his stunning loss to Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic mayoral primary, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo put forth a political calculus long accepted as fact in New York: “Being a Democrat,” he said, “it’s synonymous that you support Israel.”

Then came Zohran Mamdani

Backing Israel was considered mandatory for New York politicians. Then came Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani, who would be the city’s first Muslim mayor, could be on the cusp of shattering that convention.

the self employed were artisans and merchants and they constituted part of the petit bourgeoisie. (not saying the OP is doing this at all) but it is so intensely frustrating how "working class" is treated as synonymous with "poor" and not as the set of persons employed in wage labor

and yet, where the hell do you put the self-employed, a thing that didn't exist outside generational wealth in Marx's day?

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Yeah I mean famously there are no Nazis in America, it's not an important point to actually prove you're not actually a nazi

Last night In Athens, GA, a 33 year old named Kenneth Leland Morgan was arrested for aggravated assault after dressing like a Nazi and hitting a glass over a woman's face at a bar people were forcing him out of. The only people who want to dress like Nazis for Halloween are Nazis.

The most punchable looking white dude you've ever seen standing in a full Nazi uniform in the door of a bar.

oh and where do you put retirees? in the same class categories as when they were working? or do they shift classes entirely? shit's hard to figure it out but treating it like scripture is how we get Platner described as working-class

'is nursing blue-collar work' is one of those questions we really need to address because while the education might say not the working conditions and level of unionization is an emphatic yes

Emily J. Edwards (but witchy) @msemilyedwards.bsky.social · 1d

women are about 78% of the healthcare workforce in america. i know people know this but it’s always worthwhile to state it outright. not only is it gendered to underpay healthcare workers but men who get “caught up” in it are undervalued for doing female-coded work. same with teachers.

Asawin Suebsaeng @swin24.bsky.social · 1d

It will never not bother me how often when you’re talking to someone — in life, for work, w/e — who is struggling that that person works in healthcare. Nurses, orderlies, home health aids, people who draw blood, etc

what do we do with a labor situation where arguably the most class conscious and unionized sector are people that had to attend multiple years of post-HS education to do their jobs, but are nonetheless wage laborers?

Confessions of a Masc4masc @eljajlorbs.bsky.social · 17h

teachers would also be blue collar if thats the line (speaking of female dominate professions). A difference for nursing is that it does pay significantly more than blue collar roles.
