still deeply amused that the UK New Right takeaway from 10 years of Tory decline is "true turbo-Anglo Thatcherism on steroids has never been tried"

to be clear, i also do not think it is necessarily true that adopting a laundry list of progressive positions is an instant win either. i think you have to do the work of discovering what it is that voters want in a direct and engaged way. and i think that voters want moral leadership.
it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance
The Danish Social Democrats are currently on course for their worst election result since at least the Second World War, despite their brand of far-right accommodationism being touted as a blueprint for other centre-left parties.

Your daily reminder that America as a project and community means nothing to Trump. Less than nothing, in fact. There’s nothing about this country he wouldn’t renounce or sell for personal interest.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

This is the barometer of difference between people who are interested in the nuts and bolts of governing for working people and those who are interested in gesture and outrage politics
A big part of why Mamdani won is that he actually seemed like he was interested in doing the job of mayor, and I would appreciate it if people let him focus on what is already going to be an uphill battle without demanding that he also declare war on the Democratic party.
AOC has been playing inside ball to climb the national dem party for years and this is why a lot of NY DSA now hates her; Mamdani barely just won over the NY machine, he has good reasons to not immediately start fights with the state party before he is even in power and has his people staffed.

AOC and Mamdani, arguably the two most prominent members of the DSA, allegedly choosing not to back Ossé in his potential primary run against Jeffries is certainly an interesting choice in the face of the NYC-DSA's reputation of being anti-Black

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

Calling the ABC reporter’s question “insubordinate” explains everything about how Trump sees press freedom.

the goal is to change the petition, ideally in a way that protects trump and makes it impossible for people who are in good faith to vote for.

Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

DSA as a national organization is anti-Black and every chapter is indicated in that anti-Blackness.
NYC DSA is the least bad of the chapters

maybe NYC dsa is anti-black, I am not really here to litigate that, I just know both AOC and Mamdani themselves have really good reasons not to immediately stir a shitstorm against the literal house majority leader (who happens to be a black man???) of their party, that’s just how politics works.

There is a property tax revolt starting in Chicago. One group is calling for a new policy 'modeled after California's Prop 13'

It's hard to describe how disorienting it is to see this many students absent. My only mental reference point is the weeks leading up to school getting canceled due to COVID-19, when students were starting to stay home due to illness or out of precaution. CBP/ICE is a plague.
