Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.

If We Want Mamdani to Beat the NYPD, the Left Must Build Power
We won’t be able to push Mamdani, or anyone else, to undermine police power unless we become a force to be reckoned with.

Some things this national pundit (who summers in Blue Hill) misses:
Golden was most hurt by inaccessibility and arrogance, not his positions.
Matt Dunlap is not in a "statewide elected position." The ME SoS is chosen by the state leg. And he's a strong candidate for the district.

I don’t know what’s really in Jared Golden’s heart as he steps away from congress but you have to think he’d have more zest for the job of his accomplishments were properly acknowledged.

Writing the part of my book explaining how, under Clinton, Larry Summers made crushing the possibility of regulating derivatives his reason for being; derivatives crashed the global economy; Obama made him his top economic advisor; THE END. Much more depressing than writing about the Tea Party.

Everybody opposed to authoritarianism and oligarchy should needs to stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers who are likely going on strike starting November 13

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

Note to all the Democratic politicians with aspirations who are coming out with statements, emails congratulating Democrats across the country for their well deserved victories but leaving out a big name from NYC - we see what you are doing. It's petty, pathetic and we will remember.
New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!
They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.

The idea that people are primarily upset about the genocide that both the Democratic and Republican parties are supporting - financially, militarily and politically - because the Chinese have warped their fragile minds with Commie beams, is apeshit stuff. Obviously insane crackpot shit.

I have never, ever EVER had a canvasser show up in my neighborhood until some Zohran folks stopped by last week.
"Black organizers had noticed gaps in the campaign’s strategy for reaching Black voters. To address them, they led canvasses in working-class Black neighborhoods...By early October, Mamdani had taken a commanding lead over Cuomo among Black voters"

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.
But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.
Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

About halfway through Ganz’s “When the Clock Broke” and I think he convincingly spells out the conditions under which fascism finds an audience. People are over indexed on a “postmaterialist” explanations for politics. America’s status as a high income country for sure complicates things but….
To me it seems like the key to creating a pro immigration politics is to keep inflation, unemployment, and mortgage costs low.
Every so often I hear people saying that "the public" has a deep seated, unshift able hostility to immigration, and feel the need to post this.
