The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

Shame over poverty is such that people reflexively hide it. I had one pair of pants for years, and we lost our house to bankruptcy. But my mother and stepfather in the same town (with whom I didn't live) had no idea. So many people, barely hanging on, keeping it to themselves, now without food.
“The Supreme Court on Friday granted the Trump administration’s emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.”

The GoFundMe platform is doing more to fight hunger in America than Republicans in Congress. Dystopian shit.

There’s a deep question here: the extent to which we weight the reasons voters give for their attitudes. My sense- based on the cognitive political psychology literature- is that we probably should be skeptical of the explanations people give about why they feel as they do.
I guess I don't really understand the tweet. We aren't *guessing* that people are anxious about the economy, they are telling us that in polls. Voters say inflation is bad now & angry at incumbents, and they didn't say that in 2017-2022. Other things can act on presidential unpopularity too.
Trump becomes unpopular in 2017: ????
Trump stays unpopular in 2018-2020: ????
Biden becomes unpopular in 2021: ????
Biden stays unpopular in 2022-23: CLEARLY INFLATION
Biden stays unpopular in 2024: HANGOVER FROM INFLATION??
Trumps is unpopular in 2025: PROBABLY STILL INFLATION??

how is this guy simultaneously completely fucking insane and a more honorable opponent than any republican in national office
I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

Damnit. Damnit.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NJ is on the NYC media market, and I just heard a commercial from "National Black Empowerment" warning that the DSA would "not only defund the police, but abolish the police and release all prisoners including rapists and murderers" - not a paraphrase, that's a QUOTE 🤣

Faith leaders — as well as faith-based food banks — have long argued they absolutely cannot independently handle the raw number of people currently served by government food assistance programs.
They argued it again last week in Congress, calling the idea a "lie". religionnews.com/2025/10/30/f...

I moved to New Jersey in 2015 and have voted in every single general and Dem primary election since. Getting texts & mail reminding ME to vote just shows how much dang money is flying around in our Gov race, whew.

Yesterday, Illinois State Police arrested a protester dressed as Jesus, draped in American flag. When he did not walk, they picked him up and carried him.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.
