It comes with cocaine dusted crust and you have to eat it with your hands way over your head on purpose but claim it’s divine intervention, whatever that is. 🤣

we were spared a longer piece from me on this because I was out of town for the official Zohran Mamdani soccer tournament, but I did think it was worth noting he pandered to soccer fans more than any candidate in American history www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Zohran Mamdani drags the Democratic Party into the future

This was a local race with national implications, whether the party's leaders liked it or not.

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@MikieSherrill
and
@SpanbergerForVA
as their next governors!

They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

this kind of excellent reporting is why Teen Vogue was gutted a day before the election. the money thinks they can put this cat back in the bag, but it’s too late

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Today is Halloween. On All Hallows' Eve in 1590, Scottish authorities claimed 200 witches tried to prevent King James from reaching his bride in Denmark. Dozens were arrested & tortured, and 1000s killed in an era of sexist witch-hunts. Learn more here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/wit...

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 6d

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

@MarkVuch @markvuch.bsky.social · 7d

As long as you give an interview acting like you know more than the others and shame THEM for not spending money, that’s good enough for us, right?

Gaslighting is the main business in that ownership group.

Everyone either has something to prove (“I can do it MY way!/I need to build something my own by tearing it all down!”) or their own Rolodex of consultants/vendors they want to work with.
