it’s almost like having a n*zi tattoo is a leading indicator of whether or not you’re a good person. who could have possibly guessed?

here is Mamdani's entire speech at the Knicks parade, which is easily the best speech I've ever heard at an event of this sort

Mark it up

the WHCD is never gonna be at the White House because even the new ballroom, if it's even built at the proposed size, will only seat about 1000 people in 20k square feet the hilton's ballroom is 30k square feet and they squeeze 2,500 people in for seated dinners the only other viable option in town is at the convention center which is a massive 50,000 square feet (and would be way easier to secure)

Mamdani and Obama sing “Wheels on the Bus” with some very cute kids. Obama declines to weigh in on whether New York or Chicago pizza is better.

I knew Justin Fairfax. Our paths crossed during my first run for the General Assembly. Every interaction I had with him was professional, respectful, and measured. What happened to him politically should make everyone uncomfortable—regardless of party. At the exact moment Ralph Northam was facing collapse over the blackface scandal, allegations surfaced against Fairfax that effectively ended his political future overnight. He was never charged. He was never prosecuted. And once his career was over, the allegations faded from public view just as quickly as they appeared. That pattern—unproven allegations surfacing at the precise moment someone is about to rise politically—is not new. We’ve seen it play out nationally with figures like Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. Whether you believe those claims or not, the timing is always the same—and the damage is always permanent. Now we’re watching the aftermath of a life that, by any objective measure, was derailed in a matter of weeks. And the same political class that stood by—or benefited—at the time is now offering thoughts and prayers. That’s the part that ought to turn your stomach. If we’re going to be honest about accountability in this country, it has to cut both ways. Destroying someone publicly without due process, without proof, and without consequence is not justice. It’s politics at its worst. And it keeps happening because it works.
