The Dems wins hardly reflected a unified party - Mamdani challenges the Dem establishment as much as Trump - but gave many on the left optimism that Trump & MAGA aren’t unstoppable and that their ability to resist isn’t just alive & well but gaining speed latimes.com/politics/story…

I've been tear gassed, shot at with pepper balls and shoved by officers this week. And it's got nothing on some of the worst stuff that's gone down. Journalism is not a crime. latimes.com/california/sto…
