@SallyGold One day maybe you’ll tweet something that isn’t some crap attack on Zohran. Probably not, but here’s hoping

@katewillett uh how do you explain them criticizing Elon Musk’s view on birth rates and longtermism then jacobin.com/2025/07/demogr…

Jacobin has a lot of good , real socialist writers but since 2022 it seems to be also a place where cultish Silicon Valley ideologues can throw Marxist jargon on top of what are otherwise Elon Musk’s beliefs. Not just AI, birth rates, abundance, longtermism. It’s a bit odd.

@leifweatherby false

in many ways

@herr_naphta been against what? I guess we'll never know...

Very funny that Barnes and Noble's blurb doesn't mention Palestine.

@WhitneyTilson cry more

Throughout the campaign I said city-run grocery stores are a really dumb idea. Even dumber is the location of the first store Mamdani is proposing, at 116th and Park, which is only a few blocks from the Costco on East 117th Street. That store, which I go to every week or two, REALLY delivers savings to New Yorkers – for example, I showed that you can buy TWO dozen eggs there for the same price as ONE dozen at local supermarkets. And, needless to say, rather than requiring upfront and ongoing subsidies from taxpayers, the store pays taxes to the city. Here’s an idea. Assume each store costs the $30 million budgeted for the first one. That’s $150 million – let’s pro-rate that over five years, so that’s $30 million per year. And all five will require $100 million PER YEAR in subsidies (per the article below) – so that’s $20 million, for a total of $50 million ANNUALLY. A regular Costco membership costs $65/year, but Costco discounts that for new members by offering a one-time $45 “Digital Costco Shop Card,” making the first-year price only $20. I’ll bet Mamdani could easily persuade Costco to give the city a $50 rate, which means for the same $50 million he’s going to squander on lousy, permanently-money-losing grocery stores, he could provide ONE MILLION New Yorkers with a Costco membership that would allow them to save 25-50% not just on food and groceries, but clothing, furniture, bicycles, etc. ----------------------- Mamdani Plans to Open City-Owned Grocery Store in East Harlem Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced plans for a city-owned grocery store at La Marqueta, moving to deliver on a campaign pledge. nytimes.com/2026/04/12/nyr…

@DougHenwood That may indeed be true, but it's more a commentary on the obsequious sub-mediocrities he surrounds himself with

Haha

@RossBarkan I don’t understand why non-sports journalists get worked up about baseball. There is absolutely nothing at stake here. Why should anyone care about how many Mets fans are someone’s hipster caricature or not?

The guy out with a new book about the Mets as Marxist praxis met the HellGate reporter in Bushwick. I cannot - I cannot - believe it.

@scottmstringer you suck balls

We will never normalize antisemitism. Ever.

@hoyer_kat Would be cool if you guys could cover pre-19th century topics, rather than / in addition to the late 19th/20th century ones that everyone is more familiar with...

Germany has tried monarchy and republicanism. It's had fascism and socialism. German history is complex and fascinating. So I've teamed up with Chris Dillon from King's College London to launch a brand new podcast: REICHS AND REPUBLICS is out now. Find us on any platform 🧐

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Finland, as part of the Russian Empire, was the first in Europe. Interesting.

@VickieforNYC and this is an ASU frat leader

This is a DSA party leader. This is the party our mayor belongs to, along with multiple members of the city council and state legislature. Does Zohran agree or disagree with this sentiment? Americans deserve answers.

The attacks on Iran by Israel and the United States are illegal, unprovoked and unjustifiable. Peace and diplomacy was possible. Instead, Israel and the United States chose war. This is the behaviour of rogue states — and they have jeopardised the safety of humankind around the world with this catastrophic act of aggression. Our government must condemn this flagrant breach of international law, and urgently pursue a foreign policy based on justice, sovereignty and peace.

@herr_naphta @BenBurgis rare hitchens clinton book sighting

@BenBurgis Douglass + Wright + Miliband. This is the way.

I always find it reassuring when I'm over at someone's apartment and I see a pile of books lying around that, taken together, loudly and clearly say, "There's no way in hell this person doesn't at least have an online subscription to Catalyst."

@herr_naphta It's true, this doesn't get spoken about enough... no one has been dumb enough to make this point until now

Those PSL lobbyists are the titans of K Street.

@herr_naphta and they say Marxism isn't a science

Hell yeah the Northites are bringing back Healey's formalisms.

@scottmstringer don’t you have anything better to do? oh wait you lost no one cares

Words cannot begin to capture the anger people are feeling today.

"Have you ever lived under socialism?" AM Alec Brook-Krasny, who was born in Moscow, asks Mayor Zohran Mamdani. "I've lived in Astoria," Mamdani answers with a smile. Says the borough "has the privilege" of being represented by socialists in every level of government.
