for the first time since tracking began, more American households have kittens than puppies. there is a reason for this: homeownership is declining, and homeowners are twice as likely as renters to own dogs. did cats engineer the housing crisis? i'll be honest: it is now more likely than not.

9/ The lesson: a smear works when nobody answers it. For years the left had no one positioned to answer at scale. Now it does. Support the independent outlets and creators doing that work. They're why the playbook stopped working. Whether you agree or not with what these ppl say, remember...

8/ Meanwhile the attack channels are losing pull. Only 25% of Americans trust the news (Reuters 2026). Social media and video now beat TV as a news source. And right-wing outlets mostly reach people who were never voting for these candidates anyway.

3/ Old playbook: the smear runs, other outlets repeat it, and it hardens into "what everyone knows." This time an independent newsletter, Popular Information, took it apart within days. CBS News pulled its social posts. CBS under Bari Weiss is trash. popular.info/p/update-after-the-mamdani-911-smear

1/ Mamdani. Piker. El-Sayed. Each faced a coordinated pile-on from MSM legacy outlets, right-wing media, & corporate & centrist Democrats. Each came out standing. The reason (IMO): a defense social network that didn't exist at this scale a few years ago 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
