The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one."

We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.
Where's the follow-up Norah? Norah? NORAH? FFS, how hard is it to ask, you don't know who you're pardoning? Isn't that a fairly unserious way to treat the power of the presidency? Do you just pardon anyone who asks for one?
Dafuq kinda mushmouth nonsense was that response?

Newsom: "This is a historically unpopular president. His policies are even more unpopular than him. In every core category he's underwater. He who promised to make us healthier & wealthier & we're poorer and sicker ... He knows he's lose midterms so he's trying to rig it before 1 vote is cast"

this graphic is everything. this is why people overestimate the prevalence of violent crime and terrorism and support punitive police measures.

they are quite literally distorting reality in order to keep you scared of the wrong things.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
Nixon was able to mobilize his silent majority only because he could pretend that peace protesters were a threat to order.
It's like they never took a class in marketing. If you offer a knockoff product identical to the original in all ways who's going to buy it?
Counterpoint "someone(s)" are already getting hurt.
I'd invite the press to critically asses claims of being a devout Christian. Perhaps allow John Fugelsang @johnfugelsang.bsky.social to rebut their claims?
We need to encourage people who are struggling while being detained to pull masks off the faces of the goons. I want to see every one of them barred from ever serving in law enforcement again.
That's not a thing. The CIA doesn't impeach presidents. Our only hope is a change of control of the House.

By that logic they should probably not report most of what comes from the Trump administration.
