Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.

approaching the problem of "roving death squads" from an incrementalist point of view is just a slow form of suicide

Potluck Club, Win Son, Domodomo all a short walk! That’s a range of fanciness/ability to get a table & all very good.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Obviously these people are, on a literal, factual level, insane. But it's interesting to think about this in terms of what it suggests about the actual function of bus fares and similar user fees: to keep undesirable people out of public spaces.

Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institutionβ€”the term they tend to prefer is β€œelite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

As a New York City sex offender who supports Israel and has taken a great deal of money from the government of Turkey: this one hurts. I won't lie. We will be back on the horse tomorrow, but tonight? Yeah, it hurts.

How Universal Child Care Could Change the Economy

Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy.

"There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."

I’m replaying the first Mass Effect game and it’s a real sign of how groundbreaking and great that game is that I didn’t remember that 75% of it is getting your shitty space car stuck in various crevasses

I mean fine but if Mamdani was Spider-Man the editor of the big local paper would have a completely over-the-top and underexplained vendetta against him

We Have No Supreme Court The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

spent my afternoon making a short little web game for New Yorkers called "Don't Rank Cuomo"... it has 10 levels. it's very realistic and challenging. can YOU don't rank Cuomo? play in browser (free): radiatoryang.itch.io/cuomo

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

What do you make of the people who called for Cuomo to resign in 2021 after the harassment report and then went on to endorse him for mayor four years later?
It’s small and it’s cowardly. Look, I understand that he has an ability to intimidate people. I understand that when they hear Their Master’s Voice, they jump. A lot of people just can’t psychologically figure out how to stand up to this guy. They have flashbacks and they think he’s going to win and they don’t want to have him go against them. I think a lot of mainstream politicians act out of fear. They want to survive, they want to get reelected. They don’t want to have too much conflict in their life, and so the easy thing to do is to give in to him. But it’s not in the interest of their constituents, and they will regret it one day because he turns against pretty much anyone who was his ally. I mean, that’s been a pretty established pattern. I don’t understand how a human being could call for his resignation and somehow forget about it. Or, as in the case of Senator Gillibrand, call out sexual harassment and then suddenly go neutral on what Andrew Cuomo did. I think a lot of voters look at that and realize there’s something profoundly wrong if leaders cannot stay consistent with their own previously moral stances.

useful piece for people who might be wavering on Zohran. from the outside he seems like a smart guy who is willing to build alliances with more experienced folks like Lander, I think that is key
