DSA is Zohran Mamdani's Special Sauce. I wrote for the Nation about the politics and the electoral machine behind Mamdani's campaign. Look out for it in their October print edition as well. (And with gorgeous illustrations from @mollycrabapple!) thenation.com/article/politi…

"No to war, and free Palestine" —Javier Bardem while presenting at the Oscars

@JeffPassan Ump Cory Blaser should feel ashamed.

That game cannot end like that. A shame.

@Orioles @iamjohnoliver @LateNightSeth @LastWeekTonight ❤️💔 @Mets and David Stearns broke all our hearts. We're right there with you John Oliver & son! Our loss, Orioles gain

Hey, @iamjohnoliver — the fam is always welcome in Birdland 🧡

@nosiejaron half a pie chart? 🤔

can someone in a position of power ask david stearns if this was a conscious decision. thanks and i'm waiting

Donald Trump Jr. -- who sits at the top of a massive Trump-family crypto empire that has netted the family billions of dollars -- is there for the common good it turns out! 🤔 "We were at the top of the Ponzi scheme that was banking... but crypto democratizes finance."

@AlmostHeavenWV_ Hey Travis-- I'm a journalist covering crypto and I've read a couple of your articles. Curious to hear more about "at what point is enough enough." DM me if you have time/interest to chat.

At what point is enough enough? If Bitcoin works like i think it will, I’m set as long as I’m never forced to sell. If it doesn’t, I’m fucked. Despite this, i still feel the need to keep stacking.

@bull_bnb that's how ponzis work.

You can hate the Coinbase ad all you want. But it was seen by 120 million people. Now here’s the part crypto Twitter keeps missing 👇 93% of the world is still noncrypto. No FTX trauma. No perp addiction. No 25x PTSD. No brain damage like us. Let’s say only 10% even get curious. That’s 12M fresh humans. And if just 10–20% of them onboard over time? That’s 1–2 million new participants. They won’t debate decentralization. They won’t wait for “confirmation”. They won’t short every green candle. They’ll just buy. That’s how cycles restart. Not degens convincing degens. But clean money entering through a clean door. Like it or hate it This is how the next wave starts.

Mamdani: We will also work to welcome more family- and home-based childcare providers into our programs. Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

What an extraordinary misallocation of global resources crypto is. Water, energy and human effort all wasted in epic quantities to produce nothing of any value.

Cea Weaver appreciation day ❣️🌹

In Focus podcast | @HadasThier speaks to us about why the U.S. Democratic Party is losing its traditional base and how a new generation of leaders is reshaping its future. Hosts: @indiantimbre and @samzsays Edited and produced by @sharmada_v youtube.com/watch?v=yiDVMc…

Nothing says “we are reasonable stewards of housing” quite like Landlords and Friends™ launching a full-scale pile-on against a tenant advocate. If your public image problem is that people think you’re cruel and exploitative, bullying Cea Weaver, one of the most well-regarded tenant advocates in the country, is an interesting strategy.

The Trump Administration has kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and started a blatantly criminal war against Venezuela. Take action with DSA! ⬇️

Cea Weaver has a very long track record fighting for NYC tenants. She's in Zohran Mamdani's administration to fight for affordable housing and against slumlords' abuses. The attacks on her are attempts to do the real estate lobby's bidding and derail that agenda. Not gonna work.

NY Post and real estate industry are attempting to smear Cea Weaver, an incredibly brilliant and effective tenant organizer. @ZohranKMamdani couldn’t have made a smarter pick to run his Office to Protect Tenants. Make no mistake: they want to destroy Cea to destroy tenant power.

And this one about disgraced Governor Cuomo, and how his ouster opened up new possibilities for the left in NY. That prognosis really held up, didn't it? jacobin.com/2021/08/zohran…

I also did another couple of interviews with Zohran for Jacobin, that I had forgotten about until the mayoral campaign!

Since Canary Mission has dubbed me an official Mamdani ally (aw, thank you!), here's a look back at some of the interviews and articles I most enjoyed writing over the past four years, beginning with Zohran's tenure as a junior assemblymember in Astoria, Queens. -->

In one, he assesses the 2021 mayoral election, and points out the need for "an unabashedly leftist campaign that organized left and liberal together, and was the flagship campaign for many months." jacobin.com/2021/07/new-yo…
