Mamdani’s win is a sign that Democratic socialism has legs, endorsements no longer determine elections, big money doesn’t rule everything, a hatred of genocide is greater than a fear of Muslims, and multiculturalism trumps xenophobia. At least in NYC.

For my 12 or so followers here, if anyone of you see this, go get Jenn's book. Powerful and eye-opening. Also really hopeful, especially in this day and age where everyone seems to further entrench. This memoir shows growth is possible. But it's work.

Automated surveillance and enforcement. What could go wrong?
Trump's AI Action Plan is even worse than I thought it'd be. It's a tech industry wishlist with every box ticked. It signals the further coherence of Silicon Valley and the Trump-led federal government into a cooperative, automation-bent surveillance state. It's a blueprint for dystopia.

Hasan is a U.S. citizen. Does this kid care? Of course not. Because it's not about rule of law. It's about who people like Frat Boy think belong here. And that has nothing to do with the law.

Shameful, @mariasacchetti.bsky.social. Not fact-checking Scott's lies is an error, I'm sorry to say. His lies about reaching out and apologizing are unsubstantiated. The other party is right here, and you refuse to speak with her. This is bad reporting. What's worse, it's wrong.

Since ICE & CBP adopted their policy of designating people as gang members from local and state cops, the Trump administration is exposing how decades of "gang policing" wrongfully added millions of names to gang databases based on dubious qualifiers like Michael Jordan tattoos.

Oh look, here is my shocked face:
The Republican budget gives the top 0.1% a $314,000 tax break.
Everyone else? Higher costs, fewer jobs, less security.
It’s a cash grab—and working families are footing the bill.
