It’s not really a problem to me. The show is firmly set in Carol’s POV and I’m comfortable with her not caring about/focusing on that issue (at the moment)

Instead of only contextualizing with the tailwinds that boosted Mamdani, consider looking at the unprecedented funding/advertisement/endorsement headwinds that he faced.

I mean, realistically though. This lawsuit itself will do wonders for his reputation for the governorship. I assume it was calculated for that

Just getting this close is already a
solid statement. Flipping it? That’s the death knell to Republican governance for a generation.

I’m not saying it should be taken at face value. But it seems like policymakers are, so I think there’s some value in seeing what they’re acting on

That case is *ongoing* not past and I’ve yet to see FIRE defend that transgender teacher’s freedom to use her own pronouns
Alejandra described your role vis a vis FIRE and systems of transphobia (whether you agree or not). You’re using her words about her character goals to call her an awful person

1. It isn’t just history—though I guess I must’ve missed FIRE’s amicus brief in Wood v. Florida DOE
2. Plenty of transphobes use the 1A as a fig leaf for harassment
3. She addressed you in your institutional—not personal—capacity
4. In the spirit of giving grace, maybe reconsider ‘awful human being’

They’re not very mutinous if they’re not initiating a vote to remove Schumer as leader—which any one of them can individually do.

Crossing my fingers that he doesn’t croak before Iowa elects a blue governor in 2026. Would be so satisfying to replace him with a young Democrat

Hilarious that so many Dems just voted to condemn something their base so overwhelmingly supports. Really makes you wonder

They had lesser purchase and staying power on the body politic than modern right wing spin has on conservatives. I’m not saying the information system used to be better, but it was different.

Centrists will argue for big tents till they’re blue in the face, but freak out the second a coalition that already includes Jessica Tisch (in a far more substantive and enduring role!) consults a police abolitionist. Guess the marketplace of ideas can only handle ‘fringe ideas’ if they’re rightwing

It’s important in a democracy because in order for disagreements on values, strategy, or labels to be resolved—or even just coexist—there has to be a mechanism for working out facts. That just doesn’t exist in the current information ecosystem, where “facts” are curated by algorithmic preference
Four Types of Disagreement — LessWrong
Update: I should mention that this model is loosely based on things I've read elsewhere. There are many sources dividing "types of claims" into facts…

Idk. While the factual consensus that used to exist wasn’t always true or accurate, it could at least accommodate certain challenges. The depravity of segregation. The horrors of the Vietnam war. Abu Ghraib. Nowadays, the right wing would just dismiss them as hoaxes, psy-ops, or crisis actors
