This really was a case of organized people over organized money.
prospect.org/politics/202...
In one of the most stunning results in Democratic politics in years, Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is poised to come from nowhere and pull off a major victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the establishment’s overwhelming choice for the job. With 90 percent of the results in, Mamdani had captured 43.5 percent of the vote to Cuomo’s 36.3 percent. The final results with all allocations in the ranked-choice process will be announced next Tuesday. The win is a shock considering what Cuomo and his deep-pocketed allies threw at Mamdani in the late stages of the race, including tens of millions of dollars in Super PAC ads, endorsements from former president Bill Clinton and kingmaker former House leader Jim Clyburn, and a flurry of media rage. But as Mamdani said on Stephen Colbert’s show this week, while Cuomo had organized money, he had organized people. Cuomo conceded that late Tuesday evening with a de facto concession speech in which he praised Mamdani’s campaign. The margin, which virtually no pollster predicted, matches the excitement that canvassers have seen throughout New York for weeks and saw again on Tuesday. A near-record heat wave had some convinced voters would stay home, especially after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a state of emergency for 32 counties on Sunday, including for all five New York City boroughs. But the results speak for themselves.

i will say that we have never experienced anything like an administration trying to essentially freeze the activities of the entire federal government while making a series of illegal power grabs. genuinely unclear to me what kind of response, if any, these guys are generating against them

this is gonna be the way things work over the next few years- the admin getting like 1% of what it wants and losing almost every negotiation while the lapdog press spins every loss as a huge historic win, it's literally the modi model

Let me get this straight. Petro calls for dignified transit. Trump threatens tariffs. Petro smacks Trump in a post threatening his own higher tariffs. And Trump agrees to what Petro asked for. And yet NYT is calling this *Petro* backing down?

This goes hard
Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are inside the US as well as inside my country. I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can, with your economic strength and your arrogance, try to carry out a coup d'état as they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, 1 resisted torture and I resist you. I do not want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you cannot accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my town which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. You do not like our freedom, okay. I do not shake hands with white slavers. I shake the
