Mamdani met with Trump without normalizing him, and without backing down. @saletan explains how the New York City mayor-elect is trying to fight authoritarianism by fixing the material conditions that helped Trump rise in the first place.
What Mamdani Gets About Trump
When New York’s mayor-elect met with the authoritarian president, he didn’t waste time with denunciations. But he didn’t exactly hold back.

We’ve been warning about the propaganda. For more proof of how aggressively the Trump administration is pushing its propaganda machine, just look at the government websites.

There WILL be elections in ‘26.
How can I be so sure?
Bc the GOP is trying like Hell to rig them right now.
While the #Midterms won’t be able to fix everything, it can stop the bleeding of our rights & freedoms.
‘26 will be a “Tourniquet Election” to stop America from completely bleeding out.

I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.

Most women my age have complicated sexual & reproductive histories. We felt guilt as “skanks” & “sluts” even if we were monogamous & had long-term partners. We went to sketchy doctors for our first birth control and were absolutely judged by them as they made a mint off of our minimum wage jobs.

We are Refugees at Sea

The U.S. was never
The Greatest Country in the World.

Treaties are for the winners.

Descending into madness
Will any country provide
My child asylum?

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

Finally, the Ohio State wrestling scandal is airing. We’ve waited several years. Curious why it took so long to debut, but elated that this will air! Think Jim Jordan will be watching? He despicably covered up this horror. He now gets his just desserts. He needs to go to prison for this travesty.
