My favorite phrase so far: “having old friends is the politics of last resort. And making new ones is the first step toward change.”

Each and every one of the people mentioned and/or participating in this series are certifiably insane. And these are considered “cultural elites?” Thought leaders? Influential? Worthy of book deals? It’s astonishing and so very terrifying.

That peace deal is a piece of crap.

This is how it could always be if only we invest more in local elections and less on consultant tv ad media buy grift in federal elections. Gazillions wasted as key wins were ignored. Pray that we learn.

This plan is a nightmare. The real kicker is the part where US gets 50 percent of the redevelopment upside of Ukraine that’s actually in the part Russia wants to grab. Mind-boggling destabilization and grift.

o gain perspective on all of this, I had a long talk with Marshall Ganz, veteran organizer, trainer and strategist, whose been advising the Mamdani team on these very questions since the summer. More here: open.substack.com/pub/theconne...

OF COURSE NOT, but the consultants are sure as hell getting paid huge bank. So they will keep promoting this utter crap of a strategy.

Is this actually right? My menopausal brain doesn't actually know anymore.

The whole delegation was in on this. They agreed to let these folks take the hit. 2026...BUH BYE

Eight Senators who are retiring and not up for re-election so that means the whole damn delegation agreed and their stupid performative social media posts decrying the 8 yes votes are, again, gaslighting and lies. I'm so sick of this....
