Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

@mtametronorth.bsky.social question for @mtametronorth.bsky.social why are the conductors announcing they will be pulling down at each station, and what does that mean? Why the change?

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

“All circuses and no bread, that’s our empire” was not the absolute mic drop I was expecting to hear tonight, yet here we are
Well, I know a horse hasn't been made Senator but does Linda McMahon count?
Seriously, what part of it isn't a freak show? All circuses and no bread, that's our empire.

Really strong piece from @mmasnick.bsky.social and spot on analysis of the NYT's behavior.
Observed exactly this type of agenda-driven BS for the lab leak nonsense from them again and again; honestly totally disqualifying and people should be highly critical of NYT agenda and reporting

yes. it is so clear that mamdani loves the city and loves the people of the city. his genuine enthusiasm for the opportunity to work for the city is infectious. bsky.app/profile/theu...
Mamdani absolutely beams with affection for New York City; that he *cherishes* it, and its people, is present in every smile, and every stride.
one factor in Mamdani's appeal is "what if I had an elected official who didn't hate my guts?"

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

I keep watching this clip with something approaching yearning and I’m realizing it’s because we don’t hear this level of strategic realism—that the old world is gone and the old rules don’t apply—from anyone in leadership in the Democratic Party.
