This is one of those examples where, if the flood hadn’t happened and a camp director was telling you about this story it would be a perfect example of red tape, bureaucracy, the hassle of regulation etc. And yet.

Rick Perlstein or some methodological successor of his will one day—when this has all nearly been forgotten—write about the 48 hours of insane reaction to a sweet, personable, muslim candidate winning the mayoral primary in nyc at this moment in American history, and it will boggle readers’ minds.

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson.
Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.

The weaponization of antisemitism in this election, by Cuomo and others, is nauseating. Here’s the truth on Zohran Mamdani’s stance:
When you run for office, it's a given that people will spread lies about you — but this morning, Politico made a baseless accusation I take very seriously.
So I wanted to address it directly.

This campaign--and it is clearly a campaign--is now continuing in The Hollywood Reporter (see their homepage). It is very clearly an attempt to blame the movie's failure on her expressed politics. It's astonishingly graceless, and it's not honest.

I just read this Variety hit job in which it's clear that Disney is trying to pin the failure of Snow White on Rachel Zegler. I'm confused: Did she make the studio spend $270 million on an unasked-for remake of a 90-year-old piece of IP?

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.
