For all the critiques of Mamdani as an inexperienced pol, his campaign has been a relentless machine of clever, viral messaging and door-to-door canvassing. I’ve never seen such discipline in the 30 plus years I’ve been voting in NYC.

If Tyler Robinson had shot a Black Lives Matter podcaster and not a terminally-online misogynist segregationist, he would be paraded through the media with Rittenhouse-style shoulder rides by everyone on the right.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.

And America shrugged and moved on.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Instead of simply wishing people well this Memorial Day, here are five concrete policies that will protect servicemembers abroad and on the home front:

I’m in a green coat and holding a sign reading, “Infrastructure needs repair. Vets need good jobs. Hmmm…” next to a woman holding a sign reading, “FULLY FUND AND FULLY STAFF V.A. HOSPITALS”

As Cornell wins its first lacrosse title since 1977, I think of the MVP of that game, Eamon McEneaney, hero of the World Trade Center bombing evacuation of 1993, who died there on 9/11, whom I'm honored to say I covered and took courses with.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

It’s a show called the defenders. You may not agree with who should have been in the show, but that’s what Marvel put forward on TV.

Now the GOP House has passed the largest attack on voting rights in US history. An entire political party giggles & applauds as it shreds our Constitution.

Keep fighting to save our democracy.Call your senators.
Will any GOP stand up?
Persist. Insist.Resist.

This was such a bad take that @mollyjongfast.bsky.social deleted it within minutes. When people are getting kidnapped off the streets and placed in prisons or disappearing, those people need to have an opportunity to protect their lives.
