There's a lot of criticism around socialist entryism that is valid & good to temper the adulation over Mamdani's win - but it's certainly very funny seeing the soul-ugliest people on Earth exclaiming that they will walk into the sea because a Muslim is pledging to give them free public transport.

Sarah McBride reached out to me in August through an intermediary to ask me to tone down the criticism of her after this post because it was her birthday. She also wanted to meet with me to discuss the issue. She asked for my availability. I sent my calendly and she never booked a meeting.
Sarah McBride's first bill is a handout to billionaires running private equity funds who want to fleece retail investors.
Sucking up to private equity billionaires won't save you.

I held back further criticism on it for a few more days because she had asked. It was an absolutely scummy thing to do to take advantage of me trying to meet with her in good faith and then her never actually meeting. I still think she's the wrong person at the wrong time to represent our community.

the only moral action is to abolish ICE and punish those who are members of ICE
ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.
After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer."

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically
