This is also how they’ll cover him if he wins. Mamdani - all democrats who actually want to govern and fix things - need to understand the NYT politics team as a partisan force arrayed against them.

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 3h

I genuinely wonder if anyone on the NYT editorial team looks at the Mamdani coverage in total and thinks "yeah, we got this one right"
The story on the eve of the election is basically reporters asking the public "is Mamdani experienced enough?"

No actual news.

The Republicans have been promising a specific plan as an alternative to Obamacare ever since it passed in 2010. The promise is 15 1/2 years old now. That's probably why they don't seem very sincerely interested in it.

BBC: Trump orders U.S. military to prepare action in Nigeria, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians — though watchdogs say there’s no evidence Christians face more killings than Muslims in the country.

I am utterly convinced that one of the great generational tasks set before us is to crush the societal impulse to be controlling and withholding, to tie strings to every gift, to means-test and gatekeep and tattle and scold. We must drive this stone-hearted shit out of public life.

The fucking state of this, that trans children are banned from receiving puberty blockers from doctors in the UK, but cis children can get them with no fuss at all.

Stéphanie says… 🏴‍☠️☕️🍰 @stephaniejane.bsky.social · 18h

Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

As a 65yr old brown woman w/a PhD, yes it's sexism. For POCs it's racism. It's not my opinion, it's my lived experience. We've lived the "work twice as hard to earn half the credit/job" forever. Now everyone is seeing it in real time. Sadly WOMAN raised these people.

Democrats are expected to provide think tank level policy proposals for every societal ill under the sun (fully paid for too, natch!!) while Republicans are just like "we'll figure something out" and the media nods along.🙃

I mean, if you kill off all the poor people, there'll be less demand for health care, and competition will drive the price down. It's a market-driven solution, just like the GOP likes.
