Not an empty seat in the house! I attended the event last night @politicsprose.bsky.social for @jazbrisack.bsky.social new book 'Get On The Job And Organize.' Add @flyingwithsara.bsky.social into the mix & that event could've gone well into the night. It is one of the best book events I've attended.

Me: It's unwise to be charmed by politicians and you should never treat them like fictional characters you root for uncynically.
Also me: What if Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander were both mayor and had Bert & Ernie beds in Gracie Mansion?
