Farewell sweet Prince
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam
if democrats are serious about winning they need to learn from tonight and convert to islam

That Mahmood Mamdani’s child is poised to become the mayor of New York does make one teeter towards the feeling that anything is possible.

This is one of my favorite interviews we've ever done.
Vulnerabilities of queer/feminist mentoring, the cognitive dissonance of institutional "risk management," women's sports: it has every topic you could ever want!

Our latest episode is dedicated to anyone who has ever done work they love in an institutional context where harassment + betrayal are endemic. What pedagogies emerge in/from that dynamic? Can we make institutions that love us back?
Jennifer Doyle (@fromaleftwing.bsky.social) talks about it.

Trump wants to roll in? Chicago has some thoughts about that 💪
Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

Read this passage, please, about trying to provide therapy for trauma in Gaza, even though it should make you feel like you are stabbing needles into your eyes.

Protests should not only express dissent but also serve as credible threats of sustained action, such as strikes, boycotts, or other forms of collective withholding to compel systemic change.

I'm not the boss of the internet, but I recommend that you make 1 more donation to a Gaza family or LA bail fund & log off for the evening (unless you're a reporter whose literal job requires you to be on here). Either settle your nervous system or go to a physical location & do a bold activity

I also find the use of "Radical" as this kinda general praise term *really* contemptible. But I think it annoys me out of whack to how bad it actually is. But ftr it's because to me sounds like people arguing about who is really Deep just with a leftist inflection; and I hate Deepitude argument too.

I find humanities debates re how to be Radical very quaint. Imo the reason us sitting around and arguing about metaphysics isn't actually leading to substantial increases in power or wellbeing for the working class has nothing to do with the particular way we sit around and argue about metaphysics.
