This was a great conversation, I’m excited for people to listen to it.
Great fun yesterday recording an @amprestigepod.bsky.social podcast episode with @dbessner.bsky.social and @dwdavison.bsky.social!

Mamdani going in there calling Trump sir a couple times and singing the 1-800-588-EMPIRE jingle with him and effortlessly turning him into a committed socialist.
it's so funny to watch the far right White House press pool try to bait Trump to say something nasty about Mamdani and every time he's just like "nah this guy rocks"

how is rainbow B-52 not exactly the same as the other one to the people who are being bombed
I hate this sort of meme.

“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”

Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

HOLOCAUST CONSCIOUSNESS (202?)
I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Is this an actual cause for you or is it more that Chuck Schumer will stop feeding you hot goss if you don't do this for him?
If polls hold, Spanberger is looking more likely to clear 50% in her more swingy state than Mamdani is in a city so Democratic that only 6 of 51 city council members are Republicans.
