It is astonishingly ugly. People I once thought were decent are spouting delusional, baseless, vile stuff about what they "know" Mamdani believes and about what he's going to do. In NYC, this has turned into a real "Well, now we all know who we are" election. There'll be no bridging that rift.
I really like how Zohran Mamdani has run a campaign that is so focused on making New York City a safe (including from the fascism of our current federal government) and affordable place for all its residents, and I am really appalled by how racist so much of the opposition to his candidacy has been.

Thousands of women writing and speaking for decades with all the creativity and feeling possible about the wrongness of rape can’t make sexual violence stop or even be understood as real violence but RFK Jr croaking “beef tallow is the philosopher’s stone” has the force of policy now

I cannot overstate how disgusting and appalling this is.

I watched every ad agency in NYC race to get on board the BLM train in 2020, only to now see this. Not a good look, “culture creators”
Did your marketing team allocate ad spending to build your brand and help your business? Sorry! That’s not allowed. Too free enterprisey and free speechy for 2025 America. You *will* help the president’s friend’s failing ad business, no matter your company’s interests, or you won’t advertise at all.

In my day we were so much cooler than this
The West Village has transformed into a fabulous theme park for young women of some privilege to live out their 'Sex and the City' fantasies, posting and spending their mid-20s away.

The message is: crowd large.
Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift.
Events like this puncture that delusion.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere.
People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—and what they fear he will do next.

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.
