Zohran Mamdani’s progressive agenda has won him virality at a time when Democrats are desperate for a message.
And his surging popularity seems to be because of—rather than in spite of—factors considered liabilities in the traditional calculus of NYC politics. @serenaalin.bsky.social reports:

Zohran Mamdani is Shaking Up the NYC Mayor's Race
The 33-year-old socialist's economic populist agenda has monopolized online attention. Is he the jolt of energy Democrats need?

I got to talk with Dr. Susan Lacy, a plaintiff in the huge trans rights Supreme Court case going to oral argument on Weds. Here's what the case could mean—for trans folks *and* for states' power to restrict sex-specific forms of healthcare (birth control, IVF) www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This Supreme Court case could change everything for trans rights.
US v. Skrmetti could slow the wave of anti-trans laws—or tell policymakers it's "open season."
