There's a real belief in activist spaces that nothing is more powerful than shaming from other activists. How will your school change? Simple, a famous activist will come in and yell at you.

I’m perplexed by the people who lost their minds over Jeffries taking a private meeting with a guy running our “peace negotiations” right now who will have nothing to say about this or sell it as some Mamdani win.
I am perplexed by the idea of these two doing a press conference together. Because I’ve been told appearing with Liz Cheney - who fought Trump - is the work of the devil.

Said it before but the medias report card for immigration should have started at this bill and every minute spent by republicans not doing it should have been deemed a failure. Instead everyone forgot it existed.
Combo of aggressive border enforcement + a (lengthy) path to citizenship for people already here who had no criminal records was in a bipartisan bill Biden negotiated w/James Lankford that Trump told Rs to kill so he could run on the issue in 2024. Completely lost to history

This guy immediately called Ed Sheeran a liar because a mediocre rapper was kicked off his tour. It’s stuff like this that makes me believe he is absolutely full of shit and has no real principles.
Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Trump looks at Mamdani.

Mamdani and Bernie defenders are embarrassing as shit. It’s embarrassing defending this stuff when you would crucify any other Democrat for normalizing this or that. Give us all a fucking break.

The first was a public event. The second is the president (and they held a press conference after). And the last one was a private meeting revealed by the press after the fact. I feel like that’s important context.

It never doesn’t astonish me how many people will go to the mat for Mamdani when he normalizes Trump, while any other Democrat would earn their hatred and vitriol for accidentally sniffing a Trump fart.
Mamdani should have canceled the meeting to stand in solidarity with mainstream press and journalists who have blacked out Trump in response to his press ban. Instead he gave Trump a national press platform and kept silent on the matter.

At this rate I’m starting to think I’m not even going to have a ballot to cast because Republicans can’t admit they lost or adhere to rule of law.
This is outrageous. The Supreme Court already stepped in twice to block Missouri's rigged map. Ballots are already in the mail. Now, at the 11th hour, an appeals court is letting Missouri Republicans force that rigged map on voters anyway. All to erase a Kansas City district and silence Black and Brown voters. Catastrophic for confidence in our elections.

Don’t have a parasocial relationship with a politician…everyone we’re talking about is a public official they work for the public. Don’t be weird.

Mamdani has gotten NOTHING from Trump. ICE is roaming the streets of NYC. He has had media events. That's it.
Mamdani has gotten real results from his relationship with Trump. What exactly did Jeffries get from Kushner, who by the way was elected or confirmed by nobody?

I never blocked Michael Tracey because it has been fun through the years watching him shrink into a laughable tankie corncob. Same w/Zaid Jilani. I block lots of others who echo this nonsense, but Zaid is clearly now following the Michael Tracey trajectory. So I'll stay tuned.

You guys would let Trump himself shoot you on fifth avenue before you ever gave a normie Democrat credit for anything. It’s amazing.

"it's a privilege, not a right" this is truly the "everyone is 12" administration
So when the next Democratic Administration bans Fox, Newsmax, and OAN from the White House, you'll be fine, right, MAGA? Is that how this works?

NOTHING was accomplished at this meeting. No commitments/promises/policy. ICE is still roaming NYC streets. Trump is drowning in disapproval numbers & the WHouse media finally showed a but of spine. And Mamdani threw out a media life -preserver.
Glad Mamdani teed up an event where Trump gets to claim the media isn't boycotting him

Mamdani stares into the middle distance as Trump responds to a question about his ban on the free press by ranting about his economic record and how great his war in Iran is going
