Yep, no question. Let's recall that those arguing that 2024 heralded a multiracial working class realignment were expressly using that to argue that Dems had become too liberal on cultural issues and immigration. There will never be any reckoning for any of it.

You’re right, I shouldn’t be the mayor. That doesn’t mean as a voter I can’t ask things of government. Is it truly unreasonable for the city’s police force to simply not work with a masked fascist militia that murders its citizens? That’s a fairytale pipe dream that I should give up on?

Not to unwind them, to win them over or reform them enough to keep them from helping ICE. Seems like a pretty small ask honestly.

I live here, I’m aware. I remember them kidnapping de Blasio’s daughter. If the mafia can’t be reformed then defund it. I know it’s a balance and I was willing to give him time and the benefit of the doubt. But if he can’t keep them from helping a fascist militia then literally what’s the point?

Yesterday ICE shot a man in NYC, while his 5 year old son was in the car with him. He did it under ongoing directives from Mullin, who @heinrich.senate.gov advanced out of committee and voted to confirm. No others votes by any of my Senators have made me more embarrassed to be New Mexican.

Zohran Mamdani is living proof it is possible to be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, and some antisemitic anti-Zionists AND some right-wing Zionists will never forgive him for that.

I credit him and Osborn for not running as Democrats. We know what we would get. They don’t need to vote with Ds as long as they don’t consistently vote with Rs. If they do, they’ll get stomped by a Trumpist next time anyway.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

The outright refusal to treat white supremacy as an ideology which motivates action and treat it as generally objectionable is what allows this strategy to be viable for Elon Musk.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

No one gets a PhD in "what if the people in charge of the Pentagon are chud idiots and they collapse the world economy because caring about strategy is Woke and Gay". But that is (self-evidently) a far more likely thing to happen, simply because it only requires stupidity to accomplish.
