Cannot tell you how much relief I'm feeling that both known sexual harassers lost their races for public office in New York.

Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

It’s incredible Zohran won but it’s been so long I can’t remember how to behave/respond to “good news.”
I keep screaming “attaboy!” really close to people’s faces and we just opened a bottle of olive oil?

As has been observed by others, those of us who thought our generation was cool were thinking of the counterculture part of GenX, not the majority

Millennials (30-44) are crushing it yet again. Gen X (45-54) can get wrecked yet again.
Jesus Christ I am begging Gen X to stop trying to ruin this country. Electing Trump was embarrassing enough, you poseurs.

And age. From an analysis standpoint it’s impressive how clean the splits are. Very clear trends on age, race, education, income:

If you search for "AA meetings (city,)" Google gives you the 988 suicide hotline warning with the help is available popup. I worry that this is preventing people who would benefit from checking out a meeting for the first time from attending. Having a substance use disorder is common!

A/P 18 Jun 25 -- Surprising no one, in US v Skrmetti Supreme Court reads around the plain black letter meaning the equal protection clause which requires the government to treat similarly situated people the same way claiming (falsely) that there is "fierce scientific debate" about affirming care.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles
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.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name.

I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty.
My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.
