As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

Yup, New York has NEVER been full of "New Yorkers," the beauty if New York is that it has always been full of EVERYONE!

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

I wrote about Nazism in a small Michigan town, and in a large North American country; about the uses of and limits of shame; and on the importance of holding shared standards. www.the-reframe.com/the-death-of...

The Death of Shame

Modern Nazis, careless people, and the offensive necessity of caring in a shameful age.

In the 21st century we have the supply chain and agricultural technologies to ensure no one on EARTH goes hungry.

The fact we don’t is a direct result of decisions that power is more important than preventing starvation.

The way we look at people who supported bathroom segregation in the 60s, with all the same exact arguments as are used today, is how we will all look at people who support transphobic bathroom bills in a decade or two. As ignorant and/or bigoted.

Despite the headline it’s not George RR Martin personally going for them cos he’s rich and famous. It’s all of us.

The test case used his work, but it’s about the plain-as-day issue that ANY generative AI ignores and infringes copyright, by passing off.

That’s a win for basic law.

A good summary thread. Here’s the thing: if he’s nominated, Susan Collins is going to say she’s running against a Nazi tattoo guy. And then she’s going to win.

It couldn’t be easier for her, because any swing voter, people who are used to voting for her, wants to think of themselves as not Nazi.

1. Graham Platner is an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who’s running for the United States Senate in Maine. He’s trying to knock off Susan Collins. He’s presented himself as a common-man candidate who stands against oligarchy, genocide and the oppression of the little guy.
