All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.

In Hungary, a key Orbán tactic in dismantling their democracy was that his allies bought media outlets that were critical of the regime and turned them into loyal cheerleaders for the regime.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

Striking shift in GOP donor base - top 400 donors now provide over 60% of GOP funds, nearly double 2020 levels.
Both parties are far too reliant on mega-donors. But the GOP is now on another level. (1/n)

City of Yes passed the council committees today. Here's a map showing parts of NYC where parking mandates will be eliminated (red), "significantly" reduced (yellow), & preserved (blue). And here's a Council graphic showing how parking mandates won't apply to some housing types most affected by them.

I will not vote for any member of Dem leadership until they commit 100% support for every LGBTQ+ person. We mustn’t omit vulnerable people because an opposing party vilified them in an election.

The maps of swings in urban areas are masking (at least in NYC) enormous turnout decline. As much if not more a story about voters staying home as flipping to Trump.
