behaviors that destroy organizing, part 1 (for leftists)

The future is bleak. "COVID may have increased the number of adults in the U.S. with an IQ of less than 70 from 4.7 million to 7.5 million." cbsnews.com/news/covid-lon…

Good morning, New York. While you were sleeping, this was the most-read story on.ft.com/47Nazjd

Trump is being nicer to Mamdani than Democratic leadership was lol

interviewed a woman who owns a shop in chinatown & this line she said lives rent free in my head

Met Council (the oldest housing justice organization in NYC), Crown Heights Tenant Union (the largest and oldest independent tenant union in NYC), Save Section 9 (a member led advocacy group for NYCHA tenants), all are against measures 2-4.

"Michael McKee, an indefatigable tenant organizer who spent 50 years helping to strengthen rent-protection regulations in New York State against challenges by landlords, died on Oct. 21 in his rent-controlled apartment in Manhattan. He was 85." nytimes.com/2025/10/28/nyr…

The entirety of US housing policy is being set by SF tech founders. Everything revolves around getting more studios and one beds for 24 year old men with no connection to community.

WATCH: “Adams was auditioning that whole time… playing the price is right… He’s a crook.” Republican NYC mayoral candidate @CurtisSliwa says he was offered $10 MILLION by anti-Zohran billionaires to drop out, and Mayor @ericadamsfornyc likely got a similar offer

He's right. We don't have an opposition party. Democratic leaders won't fight and there's a gap that will be filled, either by a disciplined Left committed to uplifting working people and taking on corporate greed or more right wing populism.

Comedian David Cross released a fiery statement on his website condemning the comedians who agreed to perform at Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival: "I am disgusted, and deeply disappointed in this whole gross thing. That people I admire, with unarguable talent, would condone this totalitarian fiefdom for...what, a fourth house? A boat? More sneakers?" "We can never again take seriously anything these comedians complain about (unless it's complaining that we don't support enough torture and mass executions of journalists and LGBQT peace activists here in the states, or that we don't terrorize enough Americans by flying planes into our buildings). I mean that's it; you have a funny bit about how you don't like Yankee Candles or airport lounges? Okay great, but you're cool with murder and/or the public caning of women who were raped, and by having the audacity to be raped, were guilty of 'engaging in adultery'? Got any bits on that?" "These are some of my HEROES! Now look, some of you folks don't stand for anything so you don't have any credibility to lose, but my god, Dave and Louie and Bill, and Jim? Clearly you guys don't give a sh*t about what the rest of us think, but how can any of us take any of you seriously ever again? All of your bitching about 'cancel culture' and 'freedom of speech' and all that shit? Done. You don't get to talk about it ever again. By now we've all seen the contract you had to sign. You're performing for literally, the most oppressive regime on earth. They have SLAVES for f*ck's sake!!!" variety.com/2025/tv/news/d…

convinced that adults have totally forgotten how to have fun in conversation. every conversation is either "checklist catch up on life events" or "grave discussion of public events we must feel sad about". we've totally lost the sense of play. hold your beliefs loosely, laugh.
