Thiel's email about millennial socialism is making the rounds as certain folks process the Mamdani result. Why wouldn't capitalism be attractive for those born after 1981? Mysterious.

"Differentiation, communication, clarity, authenticity and pointing in a positive direction and doing it at the grassroots level" are the lessons in winning that the Democratic Party needs to take away from the @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win. Someone wake @schumer.senate.gov up from his nap.

Can we now all call him ”the Andrew formerly known as prince?”

The second amendment folks that kept saying that we need guns against the government handed the government to fascists without firing a shot. Argument disproven, final report pending. Good guy with a gun: disproved by Vegas shooter. 85% of gun deaths in Utah are suicides. Guns are NOT “worth it.”

🍿Can’t wait to see how MAGA will contort themselves into a 🥨, to justify that bombing Iran at Israel’s prompting is “America First.” There’s no bottom in following Trump and this is just one more step, one more belief to give up on, until the next one. Which should be in about two weeks.

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare.

Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.
