If we're not willing to run someone with the raw political talent as Chi Ossé against someone as hostile to our movement as Hakeem Jeffries, then why the hell would we play spoiler for Dan Goldman against an ally like Brad Lander? It makes no sense. Fold on this hand and focus on NY-7.
What's important though is winning, and Brad is 90% of an SIO for free. We need all the people we can get for NY-07 and the half dozen or more assembly races we're running.

Should have done it this autumn so we had time to redraw the 2026 maps, but like at this rate we might end up with a totally blue Colorado anyway.
Dem Sen. Michael Bennet, who is running for #COGov, has come out in favor of Colorado pursuing mid-decade redistricting.
CO would need a constitutional amendment to move forward. A grassroots group is pursuing one: www.redistrict.co

That’s why today, I am making the difficult decision to step aside so we on the left can consolidate behind a unified progressive candidacy.

The mass intelligentsia are the natural base for socialism in the 21st century, and will crush both the capitalist leeches and predators and the ignorant peasant-brained bigots, more and more are saying it.
And then we just need to nuke capital from orbit. Bring it completely to heel. Which is why I keep saying 5-10% capital levy as a downpayment on an ongoing 2% wealth tax. It’s mandatory. Capital has too much power and it distorts our democracy in unacceptable ways. Smush em.

To me the settling point is this: opponents of integration have to be removed from the professional managerial class. Like wholly. That’s what “Woke 2” is to me. Rather than gently moving towards norms of integration, anyone who expresses hostility towards the project is simply removed.

If I can get a copy of A.J. Heschel's working Tanakh, I'm going with that.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

It’s completely absurd. The Constitution does not allow for-cause removal protection, unless it will affect my stock holdings. Lawless.
What does this mean. What does the Federal Reserve Board of Governors exercise if not "executive power"--legislative power? Judicial power? I thought the whole point of the critique of Humphrey's Executor is that we don't do that anymore

not sure you can talk coherently about maintaining the rule of law without promising serious court reform
Holy shit this back and forth between Kagan/Alito/Jackson/&the SG.
Kagan: Doesn't your logic mean a whole raft of other agencies must be invalidated?
SG: Yes, but that's not being litigated right now
Kagan: So what?
Alito: What if we just want to say "but maybe don't apply our logic elsewhere?"

it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

Let me try, and I won't turn off replies, and you can quote-post me if you like. Claire Lehman was and is a bad actor. She and the whole Quillette gang used "heterodox" as a way to make it sound sexy that they believed black people are genetically destined to be less intelligent than white people.
Update: actual Peak Bluesky has been achieved, the author has done a HELEN, ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES quote-tweet and then not allowed me to answer for my crimes by turning off replies.

The mass intelligentsia are the revolutionary class and we will break the back of superstition, poverty, and inefficiency.
I'm developing a kind of cosmopolitan-chauvinism, I guess you could call it anti-feudalism, as a through line in my politics. The peasant-brained and the local landed gentry are the enemy. Sort of funny that this could describe being either rabidly capitalist or communist.

I think the most likely positive outcome is that many of these guys flee the country for Russia or some other shithole to avoid dying in a specialized internment facility.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The anti-MAHA messaging really needs to play this up. Do you realize the infant mortality rate in the US less than 100 years ago was over 60 per 1000 births and now it's down to 5.47 per 1000.
Also formula is a medical miracle. Babies used to just fucking starve to death!
