Don't know if anyone's written on this, but I am fascinated by how Mamdani is freed up politically bc he is an immigrant who cannot ever be president. So he's not caught up in that fantasy, nor trapped on the limited political path of imperialism and nationalism that requires (like Sanders & AOC)

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.

Once you learn that a lot of people on social media are actually furious at themselves and need a way to externalize their fury, things become clearer.

Just donated to this food bank in DC. Does anybody else have any suggestions for food banks in the US to donate to?

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

Social approbation MATTERS to people. That means that if you publicly deride people, they will HATE it.

Look at how elites have lost their shit because regular people on social media clowned them and did not bow down to their 'supreme amazingness'.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Went back to Santa Cruz on October 17 and picked up the 2025 UC Santa Cruz Distinguished Graduate Alumni Award! Back in September they sent a camera crew to @unhresearch.bsky.social to interview me. Here's the video they made about my journey as a physicist/astronomer and my time as a banana slug.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

I have never seen or experienced a non-white person spout racism when they are drunk. I never have.

So why are some folks okay allowing white folks to use this as an excuse?

It isn't.

Drunk racism is STILL racism.

I find, sometimes, people are MORE themselves when inebriated.

If you are a person who told everyone they were overreacting in 2016, and you have since realized you were wrong, I think you have a valuable role to play right now:

Talk to people who aren't convinced things are *that bad* about why you were wrong and what you wish you had done differently.

People across the country are fighting for their lives and also to protect their neighbors. They are doing so in the 100s of thousands every single day. You can choose to join the fight or you can pretend that "no one is doing anything."

This is part of my concern around the focus on who ICE recruits, because while the recruits are not good people, they are also easy targets. The people setting the budget and hopping onto cable news to defend the policies are harder targets, but they’re much more responsible.

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
