A "modest margin" when Mamdani beat his next closest challenger by 8 points in a three-person race. Trump won by just 1.5% and it was played off as a seismic realignment of American politics and culture.
Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(

lol eat shit billionaires
26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.

I’m not lying YOU’RE lying
“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

I think this preoccupation is essentially ableist in its utter refusal to consider how we might alter systems to accommodate difference. Instead, difference is a scourge that must be eradicated.
I’m not autistic, just a parent to an autistic kid w/ fairly significant support needs, but I personally find it very frustrating to see so many people fixated on preventing, reducing, or “curing” autism and neurodiversity instead of talking about inclusion + getting folks whatever support they need

At the Broadview ICE facility, an ICE agent tried to run dozens of protesters over with an SUV as we walked on a public crosswalk.
He kept driving for about a full football field until ICE barraged us with pepper balls.

Important to note the comments in question weren’t even about Charlie Kirk. Instead, Kimmel had the audacity to point out that the right is using Kirk’s killing to persecute their perceived enemies, by creating a narrative about his killer’s political beliefs without any real evidence.
NEW YORK (AP) — ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely following comments he made about Charlie Kirk's killing.

I’m not sure what is so difficult to grasp about a white, cishet man wanting to preserve and defend a system in which white, cishet men have dominion over everything and every other kind of person.
Not a particularly complex position ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Here’s the link to the full piece. I find it frustrating that Klein keeps talking about the need to understand people like Kirk.
That’s precisely what his detractors have been doing! It’s not “understanding” a public figure to whitewash his words and actions.
