“Since 1900, every time a Republican president has taken over, economic inequality has increased and the country has become more violent.”
The psychiatrist who warned us that Donald Trump would unleash violence was absolutely right

With Zohran Mamdani, Dems sweeping in Virginia, Sherrill winning in NJ, and Democrats flipping statewide seats in Georgia, it's a good night for Democrats and a bad night for racist sex pests named Andrew Cuomo and his right-wing billionaire backers.

Just to be clear: young people will get out and vote if you give them a candidate to vote for. If you give them the same nasty centrist who doesn’t represent their values, they have no stakes in it and they won’t vote. This isn’t rocket science.

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.
I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

This is why traditional political power hoarders hate RCV — it encourages coalitions, doesn’t hate voters, and makes divide and conquer & demonization less effective/attractive. Scorched earth is actually a terrible planet to live on.
Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Scaring us so we don’t demand more has been Democratic politics for a generation. Something else is winning in New York City tonight. We’re gonna win.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Arresting a public official for asking questions is dangerous intimidation and sends an unmistakably authoritarian message – that ICE doesn’t care about the rule of law, and that anyone exercising their right to challenge ICE and speak up for immigrants will be punished.

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.
