After Zohran, the organized left is in a great position. Too bad it's lead to us fighting a bunch. I try to make sense of things.

As any organizer knows, victory can be exhilarating, but it can also be disorganizing. @danielgoulden.bsky.social writes about the debates roiling the New York City left in the wake of Zohran's victory.

we are taking on one of the worst cliches in politics
Did the Mamdani-Trump meeting preview a new kind of “bottom vs top” politics? Does Marjorie Taylor Green transcend political labels? Is it time to move beyond "left vs right" entirely?

nice a fun little read that details the mechanism behind why exactly "common sense" is a red flag phrase to me, that I wouldn't have been able to articulate

This week, lefitst antiwar group Code Pink met and congratulated Marjorie Taylor Green for her "anti war" activism. This piece gets at why that was fucking stupid.

“The fact that “right populism” exists proves this, as the right is inherently opposed to empowerment of the masses. The things that populism describes are not political substance, but a way of branding political substance. A way that, when used by the right, is deliberately misleading.”

Brilliant

Chi Ossé's primary challenge of Hakeem Jeffries is the natural next step for DSA after Zohran's victory—and he can win.

Today, with the author’s permission, we offer you a re-printing of a piece @breadnrosie.bsky.social wrote for @powermap.bsky.social.

Rose lays out why Janet Mills represents a centrism that does not meet the moment, and is a bad choice to represent Mainers in the Senate.
