The disinfo wave around Mamdani reflects a confusion in both parties about exactly how to explain the 34-year-old insurgent candidate.

The shrug in Cuomo’s direction is representative of the MAGA movement and the far-right in general’s interest in casting Mamdani as a new MAGA boogeyman. Accordingly, Trump and his allies have been trying to paint Mamdani as a “communist.”

The sentences before that reminder are also worth considering: Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..."
I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

In Chinatown, @maxrn.bsky.social spoke with one Democratic voter who, while disagreeing with some of Mamdani's policies, said she voted for the Democratic nominee because, as she put it, "I am a Democrat."

I just... I know, I know... I keep reminding myself that people voted for this, sat out for this, or "protest" voted for this. YES, THEY DID, because he nor #they didn't hide any of their plans. What #they planned to do was out in the open for the world to see.

Like a lot of political coverage, framing of the Carlson-Fuentes-Groyper-MAGA stuff focuses on power dynamics over substance.

The US right is divided over Israel and anti-Jewish bigotry. But they’re largely united on anti-Black, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-trans, etc., so that’s a nonstory.
Similar to the Nazi group chat semi-apology responses, I think it is remarkable that the “Groyper” war is being framed pretty exclusively in terms of antisemitism, while the racism is unremarkable for them.

Nothing like the sitting president of the United States choosing to ignore a court order to feed hungry people in America and trying to blame democrats for it. This judge should issue an arrest warrant, I know it won't amount to much but wtf is going on here?

I'm pretty sure it was this Dick Cheney comic that got me fired from The Washington Post. It was the first time they refused to run one of my weekly comics (after over ten years), and my comic was discontinued soon after.

When this happened I was stuck in Dallas overnight because of a plane cancellation. When I called home and told my young daughter I was staying overnight in Texas, she said "Mommy please don't do that, the vice president is shooting people in Texas".

This is just people fighting to control their workplace. It has nothing to do with the people, with voters, with policy.

Thank you.

Is there an application process for the list? Like an online portal or something? Or is it shut down with the government?

Not to mention, Cheney did this as VICE-president. And was elected VP in violation of 12th Amendment (Texas electors) with figleaf move back to Wyoming from Dallas, where he'd lived for years. The norm violations paved the way for all else.
So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

If Mike Johnson denies he’s heard about this, someone should hold up a poster-sized print out and ask again.
Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.
