Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.
Pour one out for all the rich Republicans who threatened to leave NYC if Mamdani won. Enjoy Tennessee or Arkansas-- I'm sure it will be very fulfilling and the social life will be totally comparable!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."
who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP β which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
The Dems will literally try ANYTHING other than moving to the left.
Zohran Mamdaniβs win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. Itβs now @runforsomething.netβs biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election.
A new generation of leaders is here.
ZoΓ« did the same thing! Walked in and found her patiently waiting for dinner.
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.
Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Iβll say it again: It was a huge mistake for Congress to abolish itself.
at least he didn't do something truly reckless like try to forgive student loans
This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. Itβs still about the powerless people.
ICE is Gestapo trash.
You do not have to say βpro vaccine groups.β You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.
It sure seems like men are too emotional to run the most powerful country on earth!
On the topic of presidential mental acuity, the current president was awake at 1:30am rage tweeting about his former opponentsβ crowd sizes and calling BeyoncΓ©, Bono, and Bruce Springsteen βunpatriotic entertainers.β Where is the news cycle about his fitness for office?
Super important post about combatting #tyranny
Thanks for your work @annahaleysw.bsky.social
Please repeat over and over:
βBending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isnβt acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.β

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.
