The way Mamdani drew on history in his campaign is obviously super satisfying to me from a professional perspective, but it's also extremely good politics, activating historical memory in the service of illuminating possibilities rather than attempting to repress it.

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

Boy Mamdani's race is really a vivid reminder that anti-Islamic bigotry is 100% accepted in US public discourse. People don't even bother dog whistling, it's just right out in the open.

Last week, the Federal Communications Commission voted to increase phone and video calling rate caps for incarcerated people.

In July we published dispatches about the necessity of phone calls, and how high costs — relative to extremely low prison wages — affect their connections to loved ones.
Phone Calls Are a Lifeline in Prison, But They Are Expensive
A recent decision from the FCC will keep jail and prison phone calls more costly for at least the next couple years.

Meet Rockbridge, the secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future.

It roots its action in a “controversial theory — an ‘aristocracy’ is needed to move the country forward.”

It’s method: a venture capital approach to politics.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.
