"Mamdani didn't accomplish this by abandoning his support for marginalized people, which is the only path many highly placed Democrats, already ashamed as they are of the limited degree to which highly-placed Democrats have defended marginalized people, can imagine for capturing MAGAs"
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...
The Extraordinary Power of Standing For Something
Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week."
This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

It is fun to imagine, kind of like when you buy a lottery ticket and you can fantasize about what you might do with the money. But, ultimately, you know you will be disappointed and the fat SOB will turn up again spewing invective to his fucking awful followers again. And the dream will be over.

Not a big fan of GN, but I am very thankful for his flipping of the script.
1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

"Farritor was involved in downsizing or effectively closing a combined nine federal agencies in total. ... Handing it to a 23 year old libertarian who has trained himself not to see the value of government work is an indictment of how the GOP no longer cares about governing."

New, from me: Luke Farritor joined DOGE, answering the call of his "biggest hero" Elon Musk.
His story reveals how the combination of know-nothing libertarianism combined with the political power of Silicon Valley is destroying our government. 🧵

OK, seems to me that when you post your recruiting ad on LinkedIn and you have to turn off comments because you KNOW that it will get brutally ratioed, it could be a sign that "you are the baddies"

"When you do something simple and basic that shows you care about other people, you expose people who don't, just by being. People of evil experience it as an attack, and the fact that this is their experience further exposes them as people who feel attacked by simple and basic acts of kindness."
If you have no light, then what you have is dark. That's pretty simple and obvious, right?
But if you have a light—even a little bit of light—what you have is something unignorable. More, you have a point of reference, and a point of distinction.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.
