On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

About freaking time we have an archbishop who cares about one full third of Catholics in this city
The new Archbishop of New York, another cheerful white Midwesterner, foregrounding Spanish—having a Spanish motto, speaking the first portion of his first homily in Spanish—as he begins his tenure feels huge to me. ¡Es un día nueva en la Iglesia Catolica de Nueva York!

Watch this, it's astonishing.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Honestly yes, if your brain isn't clever enough to find hope in even desperate times then it's not a very high quality brain, that or you need some serotonin
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

The mass layoffs at the Post really just make me feel a deep sadness for our industry. The severe weakening of the media ecosystem since 2017 has been catastrophic for American democracy. It has also, of course, come at great cost for journalists themselves.

Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.
They’re creating a world they control completely

Say what you will about whether you can "trust the mainstream media," but don't you think there's a reason that billionaires are actively working to destroy it?

Civil litigator here with years of experience of business people’s emails to each other in disclosed evidence for disputes.
As a general rule: the senior the business person, the less effort they put into emails, and the more effort expected from those reading them.
Effectively a mark of rank.

Cannot find enough ways to say it but this is the most anti-life pro-death administration we've ever had
Caregiving is hard enough let alone at minimum wage and almost completely thankless
Caregiving is hard enough let alone at minimum wage and almost completely thankless
The Labor Department has proposed rescinding an Obama-era rule that gave home care workers the right to overtime pay and other wage protections. The administration says the rule made care too costly.
Caregivers for the elderly could lose wage protections under Trump proposal

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

An observation -- not a new one, but still: When people on the right sneer at "moral vanity" and "moral preening" and "moralism," they are talking about what, until very recently, they themselves regarded as a simple and necessary recognition of right and wrong.
