If the regime does go after DSA, the appropriate response will be for as many people as possible to become dues-paying members.

Jonathan Choe to Trump: "Another group right now that is behind antifa and working with antifa very closely based on the research that we have right now that we're gonna give to you and your team are the Democratic Socialists of America."

🧵 NYC: Zohran Mamdani is an extraordinary political talent and he CAN win this.

What a signal that would send to the country and to the world.

If you have been on the fence, this is the moment to go all in.

Zohran is up. Keep going.

Mamdani surges in new poll, leading Cuomo for first time in New York mayor's race

The former governor has topped every voter survey since entering the race, but the democratic socialist is gaining on him.

Lots of great details in @semaforben.bsky.social's latest; extremely helpful for mapping out who is influencing whom on the right. Have been thinking for a while that private groupchats are at least as crazymaking as public social media, and much harder to study.

The group chats that changed America

A loose private network on Signal and WhatsApp helped usher in the new alliance between Silicon Valley and Donald Trump’s new right.

Cry more dude. You can’t be an asshole 24/7 and advocate for shit that will make everyone’s lives worse/be the backbone of the ideology behind the failing Democratic Party and expect people to take you in good faith

LMFAO Matt has spend the last two decades being an irreverent asshole to everyone and gets mad when it’s thrown back his way. Remember when he posted that AI slop of unions, LGBT rights etc getting thrown under the wheels of a bus? I do! Get fucked idiot

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias.bsky.social · Apr 15

You know that drill meme where the guy is begging not to put in the newspaper that I'm mad?

I am the opposite of that. I am genuinely very angry that lots of people are lying about me. Maybe I shouldn't be. Maybe I should just get over it. But I am sincerely very angry about this.

In honor of tonight's SNL 50th anniversary special, here's the open to the November 8, 1986 episode. It was taped on October 25, 1986 but pre-empted because a certain team won a certain World Series game really late that night on NBC.
