I think I’m still technically on a committee that hasn’t met for like 7 years

This is what "expanding the coalition" really looks like, not telling progressives to stfu or else we'll scare away the mythical moderates.

Mamdani’s formula for success basically comes down to “don’t overthink it”

I think national Dems could really learn a lot

I love that this is literally just

we realized we weren't connecting with Black people so we tried talking to more Black people and Black people like us much better now

"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"

Nobody's talking about getting arrested. The question is whether or not one's marriage in California could be recognized in Idaho, or for purposes of federal taxes and benefits.

It was definitely cleanup, but that’s ok, I think. PSA is broadly on the side of new blood in the party apparatus and therefore opposed to the Schumer-chosen candidate. I thought most of his answers were good. And I think people outside Maine are caring way too much about this race.

Meanwhile if Alta beats Portland on Saturday, Madison has to beat Richmond by at least five just to make it to 8th (if Naples also beats Charlotte)

the conversation we should be having is that AI is developing and will certainly displace many workers, and we should develop government programs to even out the losses and gains between workers and capitalists. but instead we argue about whether a trans person was on netflix

I knew my kid was wicked smart when they were 10 & I said something about how we stole Indigenous peoples' land, and my kid, who's half Mexican and has Indigenous heritage, both on their mom's side, took a step back and said, "Excuse me, WE didn't do anything. YOU did that."

I’ve never googled “sua sponte call for en banc” before. One thing I’ll say about the Trump era is I’m learning a lot about appellate jurisprudence

Sua sponte call for en banc less than two hours after the 9th Cir decision to let loose the National Guard into Portland
