Sliwa is an insane person and absolutely a fascist, but would 💯 accept in-laws who were black or brown or a child who was trans. He’d bring food to undocumented neighbors.
He’s a particular type of paradoxical Older Urban White Ethnic that many of us grew up with.

Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.
He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

No surprising if you remember that the OG neocons (like Irving Kristol) had been anti-communist Trotskyists. This is merely neocons returning to the broad left.
"The Sanders/Mamdani style of democratic socialism is, whatever its merits, at least compatible with America’s tradition of liberal democracy. The Trump style of national socialism is not."
Donald Trump Is a Commie
Bernie’s democratic socialism is still compatible with liberal democracy. Trump’s national socialism is not. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I couldn't finish that Cosmopolitan piece going around, with the "I dated men that wanted to kill me" bit, because I couldn't get past the whole "I, white woman, sincerely want to understand why (straight cis) white men..."
We need more white women sincerely trying to understand EVERYONE ELSE.

We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.

All time banger of a line from Douglass’ “The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro”
"There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven, that does not know that slavery is wrong for him."
It really is our civic religion. Or perhaps it's just human. The ideal of freedom constantly breaks out in history and constantly ways are found to constrain it.

Platner should serve as a warning of one specific thing:
In the coming years we are going to see a lot of Fetterman vs Lamb scenarios and we CANNOT keep falling for it.
People who want attention will parrot leftist talking points with NO history or experience and we gotta look closely at them.

I happened to meet a few of these types in the wild during the 2020 protests. They’re all over the place in “activist” spaces. One casually dropped in a convo that a fmr roomie of theirs was “practically a nazi” like it was the most normal of things.
kind of hard to avoid concluding these guys just ... think Nazis are fine.
