You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Living between the abject horror of state violence and the sweetness of the solidarity we are all building to face said violence—canvassing our neighborhoods with KYR literature, migra watch shifts, signal chats full of love and outrage. Thank God for everyone stepping up to meet this moment.

i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not

Never before in U.S. history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many, while simultaneously preventing others — Congress, the courts, the American people — from having a say or even knowing what he’s going to do next.
This is dictatorship.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

The coalition between the populist left (represented by Mamdani) and progressive liberals (represented by Lander) shows the path towards electoral success for the left.
It's a path which can be replicated by other candidates (like AOC in a presidential primary). Each bloc is necessary to victory.

The final ranked-choice voting tabulation is here and it shows Zohran Mamdani crushed Andrew Cuomo with some major help from Brad Lander.

I just realized this means New Yorkers are about to get The Swing State Treatment for the first time in their lives - and on the one hand it’s really messed up that this is going to happen, and on the other it’s going to be really funny for everyone who regularly votes in a swing state
