Starting tomorrow, every major news organization will be publishing thinkpieces saying that Zohran Mamdani's victory isn't signficant, and even more crucially, that it couldn't happen in a city like yours.
They're wrong. It is important. And every city could have this.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Notice how no one ever forced Republicans to disavow the Proud Boys or their other white supremacist groupies, letting them rebrand Nazism as "alt-right"til the Overton window shifted so far people now openly support fascism by name, in part because the media never held anyone's feet to the fire.
this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro chides Zohran Mamdani for not condemning other people’s antisemitism:
“He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things.”

The claims that McIver, Padilla, and Lander were committing assault should make you question every other time LEOs claim assault or resisting arrest, if you weren’t already.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

On April 27, the group 805 Patriots convoyed MAGA trucks through West Hollywood. As a result of her appearance on failed CA assembly candidate Lori Mill’s podcast, we’ve been able to ID “Marina” who pepper sprayed an LGBTQIA2s+ activist and nearly ran over another demonstrator.
