A little flashback to winter 2020 issue of Democratic Left. A 28 yr old Indian-Ugandan man wins his NY Assembly seat by 27k votes, becoming apart of NYC DSA’s new state assembly cohort. Today, Zohran Mamdani is now in a 1mn ballot election for Mayor of NYC

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Was just saying that NYC, DC, and LA all look down on Chicago, but guess who now has a Pope.
Chicago Pope, that city is going to be unbearable now.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

officially handing it to him
Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family.

I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

morality aside: it turns out, as a purely sociological matter, that a politics premised on empowering people who loudly and performatively don't care if discriminated-against Others suffer and die results in surprisingly indiscriminate suffering and death. this needs to be explained to people

A top priority for anyone who cares about democracy or the rule of law in America:

GET NAZIS OUT OF GOVERNMENT. Expel the white supremacists! Our nation's founding principles are at stake. Fire the ones in the open! Find the ones that are hiding!

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

I feel like a lot of very normie very moderate liberals prefer AOC to most other congressional Dems and there’s something there, something to build on.
