How did the DSA win so big in New York?
-A charismatic and popular mayor - everyone wants to play for Mamdani's team.
-An organization that has spent years creating spaces for ideological exchange and power-building among young people. If you're young, lefty, and idealistic, the DSA offers a space to cultivate friendships, debate ideas, and deepen ideological commitments. It then has a whole team of engaged young people who feel politically marginalized, who socialize via activism, and who can be mobilized to pound the pavement for DSA candidates.
-A widespread frustration at the Democratic Party for not taking down Trump, for not doing much of anything at all, and for being ideologically hollowed-out and unwilling to stand for much beyond moderate-left sloganeering.

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

Claire Valdez won her race for congress. She ran on a platform of protecting the most vulnerable. We hope she now takes time to consider the plight of vulnerable Ukrainians and what role the U.S. has in helping them. Ukrainians must not become the worlds most displaced people.

Reminder that NY-10 is *the most Jewish district in America*, and voters still rejected pro-Israel incumbent Dan Goldman by 30+ points for Brad Lander, who called Gaza a genocide and wants to cut off all weapons to Israel.

Jewish people aren’t falling for rabid Zionism

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

BREAKING: Brad Lander just delivered a victory speech centered on one theme:

Don’t let fear run your politics.

He praised organizers, volunteers, immigrants, working families, and coalition-building, arguing that ordinary people; not billionaires, algorithms, or political machines, are still the most powerful force in democracy.

really important, timely analysis by @jburnmurdoch on the decline in teenagers' mental health

"the inflection point is ominously consistent: 2010 give or take a year or two — when smartphones went from luxury to ubiquity...."

What's life like in Orban's Hungary, the most corrupt country in the EU? Miserable, especially if you're a child (high malnutrition rates), a young adult, a woman, LGBTQ+ person and ally, a refugee, and anyone with an open mind🧵

Pretty simple story. The Post was primed to get a massive influx of subscribers and interest in the Trump 2 era — and they've produced major scoops consistently in this period — and then something very obvious stopped it all from happening.
