Insight about how a post like this might highlight the very problem that got us here is, to put it mildly, sorely lacking 🙃

When you were proudly Uncommitted to Biden but have so little smoke for your bestie you won’t even call him out for his illegal war of choice
Mamdani post: “Today’s military strikes on Iran —carried out by the United States and Israel—mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.”

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment so it is important to keep in mind that it would only take 23 Republicans to end this presidency with impeachment and removal.

18 years. 18 is the numeric value of the word “chai”—life—in Judaism. Definitely feels like a lifetime ago. But he’s still here, and never won’t be. His memory is a blessing. Just as time knew to move on since the beginning And the seasons know exactly when to change… I'll be loving you always
Pinned tweet from the Old Place: 

Ten years ago today I buried my brave, beautiful husband. I’m optimistic he is resting in peace—in part because his warmth and goodness shone through even the most minor interactions, but mostly because he could sleep through anything. I will love him forever.

NY should definitely throw over one of the best investigators in Congress, an invaluable member of the first Trump impeachment team, because Brad Lander (who did not have the political chops to secure the Mamdani admin job he wanted) is accessible to NYC photographers Begging people to be serious.
An NYC photographer writes a thread saying you should vote for Brad Lander because he “you can literally go up and talk to him” in NYC and he hasn’t personally seen or photographed sitting Congressman Dan Goldman
