Writing a newsletter by myself means I hardly ever get to have the experience of sharing a google doc with an editor and then waiting anxiously for their little avatar to pop up, it's really a treat

Generational political talent. Epochal even.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

While I have a lot of people's attention:
As some of y'all know, I volunteer at a women's shelter in Brooklyn. Over the time I've been there, a lot of women have approached me about starting a knitting/crocheting group.
The Big Barrier to this is that there is no money for supplies. (cont'd)

Again, this is a crime. Any federal troops or agents at a polling location is a crime. They don’t think you know that.

The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Also partly due to the fact that there’s very little media left to cover it at all
The media blackout on ICE activity is partly due to national Dem leadership giving up the leverage and national attention they had a month ago.
It's partly due to Americans not being willing to stay engaged for more than a couple months when it's bad things happening only to Black and brown people.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
