I think this is in some ways the most encouraging thing for me from last night

they really went national full court press to beat Mamdani and they got what they wanted - Republicans showed up, held their noses and voted for Cuomo, the anti-Mamdani coalition worked

they still lost by 9

Michael Caley @michaelcaley.bsky.social · 16h

while the story in Virginia and New Jersey was heavily one of relative turnout, with far more votes than usual coming from liberal areas, this was not the case in New York

Republicans showed up in pretty clearly greater numbers than Democrats, motivated to beat Mamdani

but they didn't

It’s right of course that Reform’s mad economic policies are scrutinised, but it’s still quite weird to frame “What a Reform government would really look like” as if it was just a bit of trouble making budget cuts, while omitting the ICE-style mass thuggery as they aim to deport 1% of the population

What a UK government led by Reform would really look like

What the party's first six months at the helm at local level shows about how they govern - and whether they can keep their promises

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

But the police very soon had much bigger fish to fry, as out-of-state influencers swooped in to get in on the content-rich environs of the Portland ICE facility. On October 2nd, local police arrested Nick Sortor of Washington, DC, on suspicion of disorderly conduct. After Sortor was released the following morning, he told his 1.2 million followers on X that he had spoken to Attorney General Pam Bondi. (Bondi later opened an investigation into the Portland police.) Sortor, who was also invited to Trump’s roundtable on “antifa,” went on to publicly attack the Portland Police Bureau for being “Antifa-infiltrated,” an allegation that the Trump administration appears to be taking seriously — the word of an influencer being, apparently, much weightier than the thin blue line.

Worth pointing out the biggest supporters of trans people (which is who bigots mean by “gender ideology”) are bisexual & lesbian women. All the public “concerns” about trans people (phase, indoctrination, regret, etc) are recycled forms of homophobia. This is why LGB solidarity with the T is strong.

Graphic from YouGov website shows strong support for trans people from LGB people.

When sex is exchanged for money, it collides with two deeply entrenched cultural beliefs: that sex should be private, moralized, and tied to love, and that women’s labor should be undervalued or unpaid.

Selling sex disrupts both of those norms at once, which invites judgment and distortion.
