Yup.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

According to the web page of the NYT, 7 million people did nothing unusual yesterday. The home page of the Times has zero news articles about the No Kings protest yesterday. Only an editorial even mentions it.
The Times had three choices: promote, report or bury the protests. They buried them.

Looks like the New York Times decided to stop pretending Mamdani doesn't exist. Good article on just how terrific a politician Mamdani is.
Looking forward to New York having a mayor who isn't an embarrassment. First up New York, then Congress and the Presidency.

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

“Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions". Truly twisted times for the U.S.
"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."
