The Occam’s Razor explanation here is not that Mamdani is secretly MAGA or signed away something in a deal, but that Trump is a moron and very easily manipulated
Q: would you feel comfortable living in NYC under a Mamdani administration ?
TRUMP: I would. I really would.

Do I pay the $10 to read Ryan Lizza’s purple prose about how Olivia hurt him and how he wishes he didn’t have to write this but she left him no choice but to write it and make money off it?
Like I don’t really want to fund the drama but also want the tea. So, it’s a conundrum

Also funny/sad that people think Mamdani has been secretly MAGA this whole time or something
It’s funny/sad that folks want to pretend that it’s charisma or some magic beans that had the orange demon smiling with the mayor elect of NYC.

The Mamdani discourse has been useful in exposing Islamophobes and racists among the Democratic Party

Players of FC Tulsa and Pittsburgh Riverhounds emerge for the USL final wearing shirts calling for better working conditions. The USLPA want "real wages, safety, healthcare, and year-round support."
"Pro rel? Try pro standards first," reads the message on the shirts.

I’m beginning to think the president is a moron
Trump: "THE ONLY HEALTHCARE I'LL SUPPORT OR APPROVE IS SENDING MONEY DIRECTLY BACK TO THE PEOPLE W/ NOTHING GOING TO THE BIG, FAT, RICH INSURANCE COMPANIES, WHO HAVE RIPPED OFF AMERICA LONG ENOUGH. THE PEOPLE WILL BE ALLOWED TO NEGOTIATE & BUY THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, INSURANCE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!"

Doesn’t he control the justice dept? Couldn’t he just order the release?

Splitting hairs on which academic definition of fascism we’re going by today is pretty fucking embarrassing when there are masked goons pulling people off the streets, the President is marshalling the DOJ to target people he dislikes, and conducting extrajudicial killing in international waters.

Mentions a few traits while *focusing* on one trait and ignoring a bunch of others, and failing to acknowledge the aspirations of the current administration
Uh, suppression of dissent and extermination of all pluralist alternatives, and mass mobilization through a single party state, among other important things
Tom is focused here on just one trait of a fascist state - suppression of dissent - ignoring other traits such as media capture, ultranationalism, use of state violence to quash opposition, etc. Ok, the state is not fully fascist yet, but you can’t argue we’re not headed that way.

1. If America were fascist right now, I would not be posting here. Neither would you.
Instead, I - and you - would be trying to build networks of people *offline* who can support and protect each other, in the dark, rather than yelling at the president and his stooges in our own names. /2

It's unethical to charge money for the news
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Time to storm the restricted paths, everyone!
President Trump pardoned a trail runner who briefly used a restricted path last year while attempting to break a record for running up and down Grand Teton, the tallest peak in the Teton Range of western Wyoming, lawyers said.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?
