It's too bad i'm not important enough for Isaac Chotiner to interview because i'm pretty confident I'd be the first person to come out of it looking pretty good
The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

If you had a magic wand, what would you change in your community? Folks in Milwaukee, WI told us about the minimum wage, job training, and welcoming immigrants.
our new poll has zohran up 16 points over cuomo in a traditional electorate weight
This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.
Yup, i think in many ways 2021 was a needed loss for the left to familiarize themselves with RCV and all its intricacies
Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.
after removing undecideds we have: Cuomo - 40% Zohran - 33% within the margin of error of the Expedition poll. we're showing the same race, only thing that differs is RCV
And here's another recent poll from Expedition Strategies, conducted June 3-7 on behalf of Cuomo's campaign: www.politico.com/f/?id=000001... Andrew Cuomo - 42% Zohran Mamdani - 30% Scott Stringer - 7% Brad Lander - 7% Adrienne Adams - 3% Final RCV round: Cuomo - 56% Mamdani - 44%
New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)
What’s different about this question from many Qs in politics, is the *lack* of polarization—by party or by race. This dimension, which we can call “news engagement,” cuts across other dimensions, and tells us something your party & demographics alone cannot. Makes a potentially powerful tool.
everyone at the Brooklyn Half Marathon is talking about The Pit
having a "why it matters" section that just reiterates patel's tweet is something else
