Really hope people are channeling their anger for the Dems into local action/organizing.
Posting online is cathartic, but I promise that joining an org and finding your political home is way more satisfying and powerful in the long run.

There are many lessons to draw from Zohran's campaign and this primary, but by far the most important one is that robust organization is what makes the impossible possible.
If you don't already have an organizational home, then may Z's win make the difference in finally motivating you to find one.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

This is a direct attack on our trans siblings and sets a chilling precedent for future assaults on LGBTQ+ rights.

Hmm I wonder what the long term strategy is behind replacing birth certificates, over which the federal government has no control at all, with passports, over which the Executive Branch has nearly exclusive control, as a foundational document for citizenship and voting.
