1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

🇨🇦 One thing I want to emphasize to my fellow Americans: Trump's threat to invade Canada was a news cycle that went away after a week. But that distrust didn't go away in Canada and I don't think folks south of the border (i.e., in the US) fully understand what that did and how it changed Canadians.
The @migsinstitute.bsky.social just held its annual summit where I led a discussion on countering foreign interference. We heard from Beatriz Saab, Qiang Xiao, Steve Feldstein, and Nad'a Kovalcikova. Congrats to Kyle Matthews and Marie Lamensch for organizing such an important gathering.
