watching the john oliver episode on "AI slop" and it's really funny how the studio audience is clearly uncomfortable and reticent to laugh because they all consume this shit happily

If Mamdani wins, one of the key differences from Sanders' 2020 run will be that, unlike Warren's campaign, Mamdani's progressive rivals understand that they're part of a shared political project with him. Concerted effort by Lander & others to both defend Mamdani & block Cuomo.

A lot of centrists out there who'll speculate about sci-fi futures where we colonize Mars and live for centuries, but who'll also describe free buses and cheap public grocery stories as fantastically utopian.

the forest service's roadless areas are possibly the most important public lands that most people have never heard of and trump is planning to repeal their protections. i mapped them all here jtommins.github.io/ira_web_map/

Just learned from this thread that it is now seemingly conventional wisdom among right wingers that oil is a totally renewable resource and that it’s only oil companies lying and saying that it’s finite so they can make more money.

the anti-mamdani crowd have absolutely no rebuttal to this, no ideology, no vision. nothing but hysterical screeching about israel and muslims

Preschool for All is a tax I’m HAPPY to pay because it’s a genuinely good, universal, non-means tested program and also because I’m not a fucking sociopath. If you move out of Multnomah County because you don’t want to pay for PFA, you’re a bad and stupid person.

I've been hearing Iran is several months away from a nuke for twenty years.

Excellent news for the NYC left: There were 10 city council members of the Progressive Caucus who faced primary challengers today, some of them very ideologically polarized primaries. All 10 incumbents are leading *by a lot.*

I do not see a scenario where Zohran Mamdani will not be the Democratic nominee come RCV final rounds

Whatever happens, Mamdani wrote a new playbook for progressives He reached outside the base. He ran away from purity politics. He didn't run as "I'm the true progressive and you're not." He tolerated disagreement, embraced persuasion, and emphasized building common ground.

nyc swung right in the presidential election but just nominated a Muslim socialist for mayor. this country isn't getting more rightwing, people are just fed up with cowards who don't stand for anything or care about making anyone's life better

People overcame this

Keep giving that bang up advice, Barro.

Survivors: we fight and win together. ✊✊✊

Vulgar Bernieism was always right

62% of Democrats think their party's leaders should be replaced
