Attack of the Kenosha Kid

You never did the Kenosha Kid? Sewer socialist, Midwestern nationalist, Gotham denizen, non-Kyle fan
Anyway, it’s just facts that Trump represents a certain strain of New York / Long Island / Atlantic City wheeling and dealing, racism, and xenophobia, and NYC media propped him up.
I say this with zero respect for Jeffries, but... Yeah, they don't have the votes for that *right now.* They might in two years. But it's an incredibly heavily lift and it will cost the donor class and the healthcare industries, which will fight it like hell. So I'm not surprised Jeffries noped out.
The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social · 4d ago“Why does universal health care keep getting sidelined by party leadership?” Jeffries gives a misleading word salad answer to a direct question 🤔 Medicare for all. NOW. Any potential Speaker should guarantee it will get a vote. Make Trump veto it. (He may not)
Civil rights giant Andrew Young's mother and grandmother taught him about an America that had not yet existed and here he is weeping because though they didn't live to see that America over the mountaintop, we caught a good glimpse of it on Tuesday
Meredith Shiner@meredithshiner.com · 4d agoCBS Atlanta interviewed Andrew Young about Keisha Lance Bottoms being elected governor of Georgia and I think everyone should watch it.
The note I received tonight from Martese Chism, a Mississippi voter I spent time with this year whose great-grandmother Birdia Keglar, a fierce organizer, was killed on her way home from a Civil Rights meeting in 1966:
Our enemies will be engaged in struggle. When existing social relations can no longer be reproduced, struggle occurs (hat tip to RWG). Ruling elites in Silicon Valley, for example, will shuffle and reorganize to maintain their power. That brand of fascism will adapt. We must struggle in opposition.
Holy shit, Paul Ryan’s hand-picked successor went down last night. LFG. First Dem to represent the epitomal Reagan Democrat district in three decades. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

“We haven’t controlled most of the country since Carter” is fucking me up.
I don't often feel a sense of Americanness, which is to say that I have very strong local and regional identities (I'm a Midwestern Yankee who lives in New York), but I don't really feel a part of a culture that spans the Deep South and Appalachia and the Pacific Northwest, etc. But today I do.
after 2010 wisconsin was the ur-gerrymander, an absolutely impossible hole to dig out of and tonight they finished the damn job huge thanks to @benwikler.bsky.social and the rest of the wisconsin dems, they fucking earned it

RFK Jr & his allies literally want this country going back to a pre-1906 Pure Food & Drug Act status, where there is no food inspection, no medical practice & medicine regulation, just spiritualists, snake oil salesmen, quacks, and fad diet promoters.
NYC Deli guy is asking you to Vote. @jfrejnyc.bsky.social mobilizing vote @workingfamilies.org campaign.
Another intractable problem that the political class of NYC has been working diligently* to find a solution for over generations and Mamdani just… Tweeted it out there *lol nope
I have affection for the grubby old monkey bars at TSP (when my kid was little he called it “Man Sweat Park”), and I have some friends among the stans, but this freakout is giving ESCR energy and that crashout negatively polarized me against preservationism generally hellgatenyc.com/cb3-tompkins...

RFK Jr. is not even close to being done with destroying public health. Republican Congresspeople are 100% behind him in this effort. Vote for public health.
Jake Scott, MD@jakescottmd.bsky.social · 2w agoHHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...
"After the 2024 elections, a certain kind of ‘centrist' consultant class emerged that sought to blame Harris’ loss on transgender people … Pollsters and strategists followed ... Democratic Party leaders and future presidential hopefuls are watching too." www.erininthemorning.com?utm_source=n...

This election is a referendum on Trump’s attempt to rule as king. Democrats should close on putting down his rebellion, no matter what happens to the price of diesel.

Enormous news. A melanoma vaccine, one of the most deadly cancers out there. Science is good and helpful and there should be more of it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
Breakthrough vaccine for the deadliest skin cancer cut risk by almost half
The skin cancer vaccine is based on mRNA technology that helped end the coronavirus pandemic.

We would save a lot of time and really get to the business at hand if we could stop dancing around the fact that what's happening with Yglesias, Neera Tanden, the Democrats and their stewards and subordinates at large, is an attempt to maintain power and wealth gained from wealth class partnerships.

WI-01 is pretty purple so this shouldn't be a surprise, but... if you engineered the perfect Republican candidate for that district in a lab -- empty-suit yes man with nice guy "sensible moderate" vibes -- you couldn't do better than Steil. If he's in trouble...

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
