huh. that must be why Bret Stephens, a Republican, is using his New York Times column to try to prevent that mayoralty from happening: because it would be so good for Republicans
nytopinion.nytimes.com New York Times Opinion @nytopinion.nytimes.com · Jul 15
For Republicans, “a Mamdani mayoralty would be the political gift that keeps on giving,” our columnist Bret Stephens writes about the New York mayoral race. “The state of the city would become a reflection of the Democratic Party writ large.”
Opinion | Mamdani for Mayor (if You Want a Foil for Republicans)
Get ready for the G.O.P. to run against “Mamdani Democrats” for several election cycles to come.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.
bouie’s skeet, deleted at the direction of the NYT: “he is a south Asian man born in Uganda?” bouie’s skeet, deleted at the direction of the NYT: “and the source is a eugenicist who opposes affirmative action because he thinks brown people are an inferior race! cool!” bouie’s skeet, deleted at the direction of the NYT: “I think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi”

The Mamdani piece required the Times reporting hacked personal data. Hard to make the case that the story is of such newsworthiness that it should be published given its origins. The Pentagon Papers, it ain’t. It is also clearly rewarding the hackers. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...
For example, in the run-up to the 2024 election, a foreign adversary hacked a presidential campaign, and tried to shop the story to various media. The foreign adversary was Iran, the campaign it hacked was Trump's (including vetting materials about JD Vance), and the media that chose not to publish the materials included the New York Times. This piece in the Post explains the reasoning of editors who felt burned when dealing with hacked materials in the past: "This episode probably reflects that news organizations aren't going to snap at any hack that comes in and is marked as 'exclusive' or 'inside dope' and publish it for the sake of publishing," said Matt Murray, executive editor of The Post.

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...
Q: So I wonder what you think about that, about the phrase “globalize the intifada” and what we've seen as some anti-semitism coming from the left-wing protesters. A: The first thing as you were saying is anti-semitism is a real issue in our city and it's one that can be captured in statistics, the ones that you're citing. It's also one that you will feel in conversations you have with Jewish New Yorkers across the city. And I remember one conversation I had with a friend of mine after the horrific war crime of October 7th. He was telling me that he went for Shabbat services at his temple and he was facing forward when he heard the door open. And he turned back with a chill going up his spine because he didn't know who was coming in. And that's more than a year ago. And then just a few weeks ago, I had a conversation with a Jewish man in Williamsburg who told me that the same door he would keep unlocked for decades is one that he now locks out of a fear of what could happen in his own neighborhood. And I think that this is something that has to be the focus of the next mayoral administration, is not just talking about it, but tackling it. And these are the conversations that have informed our commitment around increasing funding for anti-hate crime programming by 800% in our Department of Community Safety. To the question of language that's being used. I am someone who I would say am less comfortable with the idea of banning the use of certain words and that I think it is more evocative of a Trump style approach to how to lead a country. And- Q: Does that just make you uncomfortable? Like the phrase globalizing intifada. And like the phrase from the river to the sea, does that make you uncomfortable? Or do you think- A: Okay, those are different. Those are super different. Q: They're not really. A: Those are like different genres. Q: I'm sorry, I'm asking so wrong. Then they're not really different to me. And to some people they are not different. A: I know people for whom those things mean very different things. And to me, ultimately, what I hear in so many is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights. And I think what's difficult also is that the very word has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating the Warsaw ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word that means struggle. And as a Muslim man who grew up post-911, I'm all too familiar in the way in which Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning. And I think that's where it leaves me with a sense that what we need to do is focus on keeping Jewish New Yorkers safe. And the question of the permissibility of language is something that I haven't ventured.

“i feel like people misunderstood my $250,000” is the point at which your wealth should be expropriated
markharris.bsky.social Mark Harris @markharris.bsky.social · Jun 25
Honestly, this made me laugh out loud (maybe it was more of a horrified cynical rattle). Points for honesty!
As donors try to assess their next moves in the mayoral race, one of the biggest donors to Andrew Cuomo’s super PAC, the investor Mark Gorton, said he is likely to back Mamdani. That is because of the support that Mamdani had gotten from Brad Lander, who Gorton said he ranked first. “I feel like people misunderstood my $250,000 for Cuomo for real enthusiasm,” Gorton said in an interview. “It was basically, ‘Oh, looks like Cuomo is coming back. We don’t want to be shut out. Let’s try and get on his good side.’ That’s kind of how things work with Cuomo. It’s sad political pragmatism. I wish we lived in a world where those sort of things were not useful things to do.”

Any excuse to repost an all-time Bluesky banger
Brendel @brendelbored.bsky.social 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"

one of the things that's so invigorating about Mamdani's win is how upset the right seems to be. it shouldn't matter to them what flavor of Democrat runs New York City, but they're unnerved because they know that his style of progressive populism has broad appeal.

25-point polling error across the board for the first round of voting.
Dozens of polls that showed Cuomo up on average about 15 points.
