Capitalism "can never be a free market, because the concentration of wealth that it inevitably brings will overflow into the political system and mean that the state will continue to skew the market in favour of big capital." -- Steve Owens

FWIW, the Democratic establishment is even worse than the party that shivved Bernie Sanders’ insurgent campaigns twice, since it has spent the past couple of years crushing dissent against a genocide in Gaza. Were the Clintons, Biden, and Harris praising Mamdani or Dick Cheney yesterday?

I've spent my life advocating for a politics challenging oligarchy. It's been an unpleasant and difficult line of work, to say the least. So when I see the longtime opponents of this kind of politics suddenly appropriating it as their new "centrism," I'm happy.

A short 🧵...
Welcome To The New Uprising
Zohran Mamdani’s victory could be a turning point for Democrats — if the party finally learns from its past leaders’ betrayals.

🟢 Update: After announcing his transition team this morning in Queens, NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met with Rep. @AOC for lunch at one of her favorite restaurants in Jackson Heights, CNN and Gothamist report. Over Nepalese food, the two discussed “the future of the city” and what Mamdani’s victory means on the national stage, before spending time with restaurant workers. Separately, the New York Times reports de Blasio aide Monica Klein will serve as transition communications director, and campaign lawyer and longtime confidant Ali Najmi will lead as transition counsel.

🟢 In June, ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt attacked Mamdani for refusing to meet with the “right Jews,” saying, “He doesn’t get to pick and choose which Jewish people he talks to. He needs to come to us.” Today he announced that the ADL is “launching a comprehensive citywide initiative to track...

🟢 NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani said he hasn’t yet heard from the White House but is open to speaking with President Trump. “I’m interested in having a conversation with President Trump on the ways in which we can work together to serve New Yorkers,” he said, “whether that be delivering on his campaign promises around cost of living, or… the drastic impacts that the legislation that President Trump has ushered through Washington will mean for [New Yorkers] and their lives.” He added, “If there is ever anything to be spoken about that could benefit the people of the city, I am ready and willing to speak to anyone about it.”

It amazes me that senile Biden still manages to sometimes be less shitty than Obama.

Trump spoke in Miami after Republicans were trounced in elections across the country. With little to say about the defeats, he started by claiming that New York’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, “thinks it’s wonderful to have men in women’s sports.” “The communist, Marxist socialists and globalists had their chance, and they delivered nothing but disaster. And now let’s see how a communist does in New York,” Trump said. “We’re going to see how that works out. And we’ll help them. We’ll help them. We want New York to be successful. We’ll help them a little bit, maybe.” Clash Report @clashreport Trump on Zohran Mamdani: Mandamami, whatever his name is in New York. He thinks it’s wonderful to have men in women’s sports.

🎙️ Mamdani’s speeches, including the call-and-response chant of “fast and free buses,” were designed to make people feel ownership of the message, his speechwriter @julian__gerson told Drop Site’s @RyanGrim . The team began drafting the victory speech about ten days before election night, shaping it with Mamdani’s own edits and stories. Grim raised 2008 as a case where “hope” later disappointed. Gerson noted that Obama’s rise also came amid deep crisis, and that hope resonates again in today’s dark moments. “The long-form political speech is a dying art,” he said, “but tonight proved it can still move people when it’s real.” @linamkhan dropped by as well. Watch the full discussion below. (Apologies for the picture quality in the first few seconds, it clears up quickly after that.)

Our analysis of EPA air monitoring data shows that companies have far underestimated the pollution caused by their facilities.

At a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh, monitors found benzene levels 37 times higher than estimated emissions.

Fateh said, “They may have won this race, but we have changed the narrative about what kind of city Minneapolis can be. Now, truly affordable housing, workers’ rights, and public safety rooted in care are no longer side conversations; they are at the center of the narrative.”

You're assuming that they see their role as covering/understanding what is happening. I think their role is to present the alternative reality that their owners want us all to believe.

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media:

Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

Because Donald Trump is terrible and everybody knows it!
This isn't that hard, the guy has lost every election ever held with him in power.

The strong consensus of observers, random people in both states, journalists, and pollsters was that Spanberger was running a strong race against a bad candidate and Sherrill was running a lackluster race against a pretty good candidate, but the results don’t really seem to bear that out so much.

Obama was a trojan horse for the Rubinites. Dems really need to grow up and understand what his real legacy is.
