pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

A handful of self-centered weirdos in my neighborhood are making a lot of noise to fight sensible zoning. And they’ve succeeded at getting the news to report their groaning, which is frustrating. But I’m hopeful that their lawsuit will fail. It’ll be nice to have more neighbors!
For many years, land use rules stifled growth in Edgewater, Chicago. Broadway Upzoning unlocks affordable housing potential that will benefit the entire community- CTA ridership, countless small businesses, schools, safety and more.

Friends, this is Third Way. This is what they exist to do.
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

It’s strange how all these Minnesota Republicans who are deeply invested in respecting law enforcement and allowing them to do their jobs won’t fight to let their own state law enforcement agency investigate a murder done in their state.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

They genuinely cannot understand this win as "folks want a nice quality of life and will vote for people with policies that support a better quality of life"
If Dems want lessons from Mamdani applicable across the country “it’s less about the ideology, and more about the message discipline of focusing on what people care about and the tactical wisdom of getting out there and talking to everybody,” Pete Buttigieg says on NPR.
