mamdani's social media: NYC, today is a monumental day. I've slain Gorlax the Spurious, the beast who lived in the sewers and ate children and small dogs. every conservative thinkpiece article: Slaying Gorlax the Spurious might *sound* appealing, but what if you don't have children or small dogs?

"The F.C.C. is threatening to pull ABC broadcast licenses in eight local markets: New York, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, San Francisco, Raleigh-Durham, and Fresno." If he can't win by merit he will cheat.

"I will never understand why these huge corporations refuse to acknowledge objective reality: paying Trump doesn’t buy you anything. All it does is teach him that you’re willing to pay, and next time, he’ll get you to pay more."

It's basically the homicide equivalent of Trump scandals: there are so many, every day, that people tune out Police have killed 708 people so far in 2026. That's an average of ~3.4 killings per day, every day, for each of the 208 days we've had so far

Are we comfortably numb with police violence? The brutal cop killing of Corey Ruiz in Madison, Wisc. sparked local protest but only muted outrage on the national level. Despite falling crime, cops gun down more Americans than ever Where's the outrage? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/core...

I offered to take a neighbor's puppy for a lap around the block. The pup actually took ME for a run. 😂 It seems that the puppy pulling on my arm caused Garmin to enact an (unwanted) emergency alert. It cancelled my run as I was frantically trying to cancel the alert.

Worker rights, a living wage, healthcare, and safe and sanitary conditions in the field keep us all healthy. Outbreaks happen when humans are treated poorly.

Sharp look at the far-right pastor whose "Government shouldn't help the poor" sermons lie at the historical core of Taylor Farms. Bonus anti-union garbage included, of course. religiondispatches.org/2026/07/22/l... (Also includes a nod to @kevinmkruse.bsky.social's book on corporate Christianity.)

The US and Canada could have used their resources to prevent or mitigate damage from wildfires. Trump's threats won't help, and he has damaged the US's capacity to assist. It's just stupid.

“In recent months, the Trump administration has moved to shutter several government laboratories that studied how wildfires affect human health, air quality, wildlife habitat and forest ecosystems… the cuts could hinder efforts to protect people and the environment”

Many Americans appear to have simply accepted the indefinite military occupation of our capital, in peacetime, American soldiers deployed against Americans. I do not and never will. It is the opposite of Conservative, the opposite of patriotic, and the opposite of democracy.

Michael Clemens@mclem.org · 4w ago

This morning. Yes, my city is STILL occupied by roving military fireteams, for no reason whatsoever. The fact that the president has personally ordered this occupation to continue indefinitely/permanently, and self-styled Conservatives say nothing, makes it more of a poisonous outrage—not less.

In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

NGL, I teared up a little when I read this. It means a lot even to women who never reached the upper echelon of their sports.
