If you’re in NY, you absolutely should follow and join the efforts of the @nywfp.bsky.social. They are ACTIVE and ON THE BALL and a big part (along with many other parts) of how Mamdani won.
This is a good time to join the WFP @workingfamilies.org I'm a broken record and if they ain't going to learn they need to learn by us not cooperating with their party anymore and building a political force that is so big that can hold different tenants but still have values.

My 13 year old has just learned about 69, except he says “six nine,” a la “six seven,” and I’m not sure if I should correct him or not.

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

Wait, when people say “hey chat” they mean ChatGPT? Ew.

Anyone praising MTG right now is a danger to us all. It’s good when the rats start fleeing the sinking ship, but we cannot forget that they are rats.
It’s good to tie all these things to Trump but very important to remember that he is almost certainly not involved in any of these decisions, and we need to get rid of a whole lot of other people if we’re going to save our country. We can’t declare victory when he kicks the bucket.

Him saying the letters F A F O like that is like that Asian TikTok girl who was mimicking Black women and pronouncing “chile” as chili and not child. It’s just so fake and embarrassing.

I tried to search for Brad Lander’s good fucking riddance shirt, and whoa buddy I was not prepared for the image search results. Gotta make sure safe search is turned on before you search for “good fucking” even if “Brad Lander” and “riddance shirt” are there in the search terms, too. Yikes!

It is hard to describe the epistemic harm punditry has done—having a vocal class of “experts” who don’t care about getting things right is a terrible thing
basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

The toll AI has taken on already-overworked educators is not talked about enough, IMO. How can you know if your students are actually learning?

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

A heart-breakingly large number of these people stated reasons that are insanely disconnected from reality. If Democrats ever want to win again they need to devote all of their time to countering disinfo.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”
Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
