Via @nytimes.com: I’m proud to team up with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and cross-endorse each other for Mayor because of his strong commitment to a more affordable city.
Together, we'll fight for a safer, better-run New York — and ensure that Andrew Cuomo makes it nowhere near City Hall.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

Very scary stuff. The government is acting as if due process does not exist, and they're doing it with impunity. Who is stopping them?
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

We’re getting a very special (and especially destructive) mix of populist nationalism (trade wars) and Grover Noqquist-style drown-the-government-in-a-bathtub austerity.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

We lefties and libs need to stop focusing on blaming one another for a minute and focus on how to stomp the abomination that is the Trump/Musk administration. Maybe after that we can start taking pot shots at each other again. But in the meantime, Broad Front.

Seeing a lot of “But they don’t deserve…” And no, of course they don’t. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? The house is on fire. Pass a bucket to whoever wants to put it out. You can remind them what an ass they’ve been later.
