“During the primary, on her way to that landslide victory, Angie Nixon did not run a single television ad.”
Nixon fascinates me. She joined the Democratic Socialists of America, she says, in June. In other words: In the middle of a campaign in which she was seeking a prominent statewide office in a souped-up-MAGA state run by a souped-up-MAGA governor, she joins a controversial socialist organization!
Which didn't even endorse her! This is definitely not someone who is just doing whatever her media consultants and pollsters tell her to do. In fact, on the topic of media consultants, it appears that she may not have any: During the primary, on her way to that landslide victory, she did not run a single television ad.

For the (dangerously) afflicted, this relationship has become akin to the weary and tearful parent of an errant and delinquent child. You love them, because they're yours. They're your whole life, but they steal your sleep and play on your mind. You watch the other boys grow up to be Fulham and Brentford, and all you can do is gently encourage and suggest that it might be nice one day if we could pull our finger out to the extent of winning the occasional cup tie. And every time they drag you to Fleetwood or Plymouth, Vauxhall Motors or Stockport, you tell them off with a bit of a shout and a boo, then put your arms back around them, give them more money, stroke their hair and say, 'sweetheart, why are you like this?'.

Chris Osgood (interim) Had the pleasure of working alongside him in a different life and really liked him. Open, imaginative, and quietly effective without any of the grandstanding. Very happy he is still a public servant for Boston. O’Malley’s re-entry is uh, “interesting” to say the least though.
The administration also announced other staffing changes: Tali Robbins, Wu's deputy chief of policy, will support Osgood by serving as interim chief of staff for the Streets Cabinet; and Amy Cording, the Boston Transportation Department's director of engineering, will continue to serve as the cabinet's interim deputy chief of infrastructure and design.
Osgood has worked for City Hall for nearly 20 years, in roles that include adviser to former mayor Thomas M. Menino and chief of streets under former mayor Martin J.
Walsh. He most recently served as Wu's senior adviser on infrastructure and director of the city's office of climate resilience, and is considered by many to be a stalwart pillar of Boston's municipal government.The members include: Brad Gerratt, former commissioner of the Boston Transportation Department; Vineet Gupta, who retired from his role as the director of policy and planning for the Boston Transportation Department earlier this year; Justin Holmes, former director of constituent and
engagement and chief information officer for the city of Boston; Jarred Johnson, former director of the nonprofit TransitMatters; Joanne Massaro, former commissioner of the Public Works
Department; Matt O'Malley, former Boston city councilor; Stacy Thompson, former executive director of the LivableStreets
Alliance; and Tom Tinlin, former commissioner of the Boston Transportation Department.

This.
Newsom, Platner, and Swalwell all promise (or promised) to defeat Trump, to put an end to MAGA. Meanwhile, the most successful effort against not just MAGA, but its most violent domestic wing, was the Minnesota uprising.
The collective defense of the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs effectively ended
Stephen Miller's city-by-city campaign of ICE terror, forced Greg Bovino's retirement, precipitated Kristi Noem's firing, and forestalled if not reversed any possible national popular sentiment in favor of increased deportations. And I could not name a single "leader" of this movement. Of course, the names of Alex Pretti and Renee Good are widely known and revered, but both martyrs were absolutely indistinguishable from the thousands of other volunteers who ran into danger to protect their neighbors prior to their deaths, a fact that made their respective murders that much more powerful in the national discourse. (And Standing Rock, too,national discourse. (And Standing Rock, too, where AOC spent time just before deciding to run for Congress, was a movement that picked up its share of celebrity participants but which did not have nationally prominent leaders.) The people who held the line against ICE and DHS, who stood up to fascist violence, who went out, again and again in the freezing cold, who delivered food to neighbors in hiding, were nurses and PTA moms. They were women, or doing "women's work," and they won.
As Ella Baker, NAACP field secretary, Southern Christian Leadership Conference organizer, and co-founder of Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), often said:
"Strong people don't need strong leaders."

“It’s the antidemocratic weaknesses in our system that created the vulnerabilities that let this happen – the electoral college and voter suppression that gave Trump a minority victory in 2016, the gerrymandering that has given a minority party majority power in Congress and statehouses, a grotesquely corrupted and unaccountable supreme court and the corrosive influence of the ultra-wealthy in a system that gives them power on a scale that is a direct assault on democracy. We need to imagine a more democratic, more egalitarian, more generous country, one that operates in recognition of an abundance of wealth that should serve all of us – and nature and future generations too – rather than is driven by the moral poverty of billionaires.”

Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.
