New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I understand the impulse, but giant fucking assholes losing their resources is awesome. Do it in every primary. Make these fuckers bleed every last cent spending 10 to 1 and still not get what they want.

In the UK all of the parties combined spent a total of $140m on the 2024 general election, not just a primary, the general election. Thats how bonkers the US system is.

We can stop this now yes? Please?

kinda think between MI and NYC we might have hit the two high points

Back when I went to Israel in '05 with FDD, one of the lecturers for our classes was an IDF general who, when he found out I went to Michigan, just matter-of-factly told us that "we have people spying in Dearborn". Aaaanyways, Southeast Michigan, always interesting.

The only thing that makes it a little better is that big chunk of that is AIPAC money, which means money that can't go to general election Republicans. Nonetheless! It's a losing proposition spending this much donor money on tearing down our candidates (which is where a lot of this money goes)

I get it, in the initial phases donors are a proxy for support, you can week out week candidates etc etc but tens of millions of dollars on a primary? Like on principle it's a bad use of money

This level of spending actually makes me deeply angry. Let's never do this again in a primary ok

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

I just wish I felt safe doing it myself. I'm only four months into HRT and while I'm pretty obviously not a cis man any more, I still get misgendered constantly. I've ended up buying radar keys so I can guarantee there's at least one loo where I won't get harassed on days out -_-

Absolute unconditional solidarity with my trans friends - that I know and that I don't - today. Live your lives. This is when allyship may need to become action; stand up to the utter freaks who will try to police this. All suggestions/ideas welcome.

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As climate disaster stares us in the face, the radical right says ‘Embrace the Mediterranean life’. Embrace death, more like it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

lol right wingers always making out like we’re pretending to be kind, babe i wouldn’t piss on any of you dickheads if you were on fire, I’m quite open about that

Any time they're mad that a left winger is mean to them, they immediately jump to pretending that everybody left of Regan actually took a vow of pacifism that they're now breaking by not being nice to right wingers that want em dead.

Part of the wholesale Americanisation of the right wing pundits is the conflating of liberal and left-wing to mean the same thing and be the same group.

The funniest thing here (and in an increasing number of Telegraph, Times, etc articles) is that they are very obviously scouring Bluesky for things to be upset about. Which is all the encouragement I need to poke them even harder.

Don’t know why Joanna Williams is sneering at people claiming they are unknown when I’ve never heard of the dickhead before today and don’t want to hear from her again.

Brb, just making you a "left-wing agitator with a book to flog" t-shirt to match my "fairly outspoken left-wing academic" one.

Brigaded by the vile trolls again, simply for provoking them with lies and insults

“All they know about Rod is what they’ve read about him. Which is a series of despicable beliefs and actions he proudly reported voluntarily.”

Almost all the complaints are that people pointed out things Liddle did or said. None of which she dares actually touch in the article.

I don't recall saying Be Kind

They linked to me, a 'transgender activist' who doesn't even warrant a name. They'll be raging when they realise they gendered me correctly.

Now, I *am* a nobody but @seamas.bsky.social is a bestseller so surely Joanna is just showing herself up here.

What’s amazing about the Telegraph crew is how thin their pretence of believing in ‘free speech’ really is.
