I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

BEATRICE KEUL – 24 YEARS OLD In November 1993, Beatrice Keul, a young Swiss model and financial services professional, was recruited by a woman named Jill Harth to attend the Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant for 16- to 22-year-olds in Atlantic City and New York.48 According to an interview with Committee Staff,49 at a press luncheon at the event in then-Trump-owned Plaza Hotel, Donald Trump approached Keul and introduced himself, saying “Finally we meet Ms. Keul,” mispronouncing her last name as “cool.” During their at least 15-minute introductory conversation, Trump promised Keul that he would arrange a visa for her, stating that “Paolo”—a reference to Paolo Zampolli—would “take care of that.” Trump further stated that he personally would ensure her acceptance into New York University (NYU). And he repeatedly offered to take care of her and arrange her travel, insisting either “I will take care of you” or, when she said she could handle her own visa, “No no, my friend Paolo will take care of that.” According to Keul, after Trump stepped away from their conversation, Epstein immediately approached her saying “I’m Jeffrey, Don’s best friend.” Epstein then spent at least 10 minutes talking to Keul, all the time looking over and grinning at Trump, who had remained in the room and was watching their conversation from afar. Epstein also made similar promises as Trump and asked Keul to attend a party at Mar-a-Lago in the coming months, saying, “You know I can take care of you. We organize many parties with Don.” Epstein, like Trump, stated that all of her needs would be met: “Flights, accommodations, you don’t have to worry about anything.” Images: (Left) Beatrice Keul and Donald Trump at Plaza Hotel During American Dream World Finals in 1993.

A pedestrian who was nearly killed by a hit-and-run driver in Midtown this summer only learned later — after weeks of silence — that the NYPD had closed the 'open-and-shut case' without finding the perpetrator. buff.ly/Otq7uXf

Pedestrian Victimized By A Hit-And-Run Driver Just Wants Cops To Do Their Job - Streetsblog New York City

He was struck and badly injured by a car driver. But his injuries weren't sufficient to trigger a real police investigation. And therein lies the problem.

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3mo ago

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Elon Musk just poured half a million dollars into this race to try to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office, just like he did back in 2024. But the Hudson Valley can’t be bought. Mike Lawler has sold out to his trillionaire and corporate backers at our expense —
