I really want a 24/7 number I can call for people who need help acutely but aren't violent. This would be a big deal.
Vera Institute of Justice@vera.org · 10m agoNew York City took a real step forward this spring by creating an Office of Community Safety to coordinate crisis response, violence prevention, and survivor support. Here's how NYC can build on that momentum—and what a full department could mean for the city.

Mueller left it to the FBI, the FBI thought Mueller was handling it, and once Mueller wrapped things up, the Bureau closed the counterintelligence portion www.lawfaremedia.org/article/did-...
TBH it's kind of nice to have a reminder that no, the big-tent progressive movement isn't uniquely dysfunctional and dramatic, trying to get things done with people is just Like This generally

Jon Husted looked this mother in the eye, and promised he wouldn't vote to cut her daughter's health care. One week later, that's exactly what he did.
Engrained in this for a lot of people is the implicit belief that Arabs & Muslims belong to the Democratic Party & if they voted for Republicans it was spiteful about Gaza and not normal Republican reasons like lower taxes or homophobia
Jared Friedman 🇺🇦@silkscreenfiend.bsky.social · 3h agoWe have to reckon with the fact that Uncommitted really was what it said it was - a group of loyal partisan democrats trying to save the party from itself. This was obviously not the case with "Abandon Harris," but anyone conflating the two is doing so out of either ignorance or malice.
Did I get the night I wanted? No I never want to spend hours waiting on Wayne County to count votes. Did I get the results I wanted? Absolutely, there was Abdul El-Sayed, Will Lawrence, Donovan McKinney federally, along with a ton of statehouse wins including Abbas Alawieh and Chris Gilmer-Hill.

convincing michiganders to get behind aes because his name is abdul THE sayed and it’ll piss off ohioans
Gracious victory is how we mark the people who are trying to keep Stevens' camp from supporting El-Sayed as a few marginal weirdo losers.
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 5h agoI'd be inclined to be gracious and humble in defeat if that wouldn't be the same as letting one of the most revolting, racist statewide campaigns in the modern history of the Democratic Party pass without comment.
this stuff is real and tangible in material ways we don’t have the expanded child tax credit today because joe manchin was personally opposed to it and couldn’t be talked out of his opposition he was also vote 50 of 50, if susan collins had lost in 2020 he’d have been vote 51 and we’d have it
Micah@rincewind.run · 5h agosome specific democrats suck and they suck in ways that are detrimental to issues that you personally care about you know how you solve that once we are past the primaries? you elect even more democrats so that their votes are less important joe manchin couldn’t have done as much damage as vote 52
El-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
Hopefully he gets to catch the post-credits scene soon. Also, reminder that folks without housing are way more likely to be the victims of crime.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan
I enjoy the ambiguity on display here

I meant to post this last night but if you’re mad about any of the primary results you got 24 hours to bleed, try not to say anything you’ll regret in 48, and then it’s Blue No Matter Who.
Wild what powerful people will just straight-up say on the record.
The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 18h agoNew 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.
"Get away from me right now," King, a retired U.S. Army captain who served in Iraq and earned both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star, can be heard telling the three male guard members in the video as they approach her on the bench. "You have absolutely no authority to detain me."
A veteran was detained by the National Guard in her front yard. Now she's suing
Military veteran and D.C. resident Anna King has filed a $3 million lawsuit against the Idaho National Guard, saying three guard members assaulted her while detaining her in front of her home.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 14h agoNo matter the margin the story is that Haley Stevens got $70M of support, more than $30M of it from a single organization, and still lost.
