Always sad to see how Brandon is seen both locally and nationally especially with the excitement his campaign had behind it.
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

I’ve been writing an annual column for 20 years on the year in sports and politics. Here’s this year’s edition. Short version: 2025 was the fucking worst. But maybe 2026 sees a turnaround that’s already being glimpsed in unlikely places www.thenation.com/article/soci...

For @rollingstone.com, I wrote about the making of the myth of sheriff Buford Pusser, and how recent revelations that he was likely responsible for the 1967 murder of his wife, Pauline, undercuts that myth -- and begs for a new narrative about intimate partner violence and family trauma.
He Was a Legendary Sheriff Who Inspired a Movie. Did He Also Murder His Wife?
