If you're looking for re-assurance in an upstart's challenge to a incumbent so well entrenched she might as well be a mummy you don't know what you're doing or what you're in for

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

An internal poll showing +4 is not super reassuring given that internal polls typically exaggerate their candidate's standing by 4 points or so. And that's smaller than Platner's lead in most public polls before.

@taliaotg @LeeKuanYimby No he's another traitor to America, a Zionist operative infecting domestic politics ("volunteer ambassador for Somaliland" come on).

Finally, some good news out of Albany

[Jon Campbell @JonCampbellNY]

"If approved, it would be the first statewide moratorium of its kind in the country."

@taliaotg @Hunter19302 That's like Zionists saying Palestine wasn't inhabitated by Palestinians before Jews got there

[Paolo Mossetti @paolomossetti]

Leen Hijaz, valedictorian at her high school in North Carolina, said the following in her graduation speech:

"Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard. Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak. My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent."

Corey Robin, a political theorist at Brooklyn College, writes: "The mere mention of Palestine—maybe ICE, too—sent the high school principal, Melissa Moore, hurtling across the stage to seize the microphone from Hijaz, and stop her from saying these unapproved words.

Just look at this photograph: A young Muslim woman, speaking out, and a desperate, terrified principal trying to shut her down, lest the student say something unauthorized, disapproved, discordant with the views of an increasingly small clique of government officials and voters.

It's so pathetic. It reads like a comic play by Václav Havel. It looks like the desperate last days of the Soviet Union. I can only hope Hijaz speaks for a generation that will, one day, sweep all this garbage into the dustbin of history".

@_rebeccaclewis Let's hope its not some house negro. Chances are, it will be. I want someone who had a body, did serious time and got shit done on the reform front once they got out

New: Sources familiar tell me the governor is set to nominate a formerly incarcerated person to fill out the three-person Commission of Correction. The body oversees correctional facilities and conditions/standards therin for incarcerated people

The Delaney Hall protesters are moving the anti-ICE protests to Newark Mayor Ras Baraka's house

Ras is the son of Amira Baraka who wrote a million great things, including the classic, "Somebody Blew Up America" https://t.co/dca9lYXwNe

Read the quotes in the threads. They're priceless. That's what I love about Maine.

[Matt Berg @mattberg33]

New: More than a dozen Maine voters told me that their support for Graham Platner isn't wavering after his latest scandal.

“I want a senator, not a saint. I want policy action, not gossip,” one voter said.

@petersterne gangsta ish

Yeah, it wasn't JUST YOU thinking it was an intentional tactic. It actually was

[Rebecca C. Lewis @_rebeccaclewis]

It's the latest budget in 16 years, and legislators are frustrated with truncated timeline to legislate non-budget things. But for Gov. Hochul, the strategy of delay worked in her favor again, and she doesn't seem open to lawmakers' desire for change https://t.co/ENsNiCut3E

[JB Nicholas @JasonBNicholas]

@WIRED LOL--maybe its a good thing Hochul held up the budget

[WIRED @WIRED]

The right-wing think tank is actively pushing “civil terrorism”—increasing penalties for minor crimes committed while people engage in constitutionally protected free speech. https://t.co/EgbM4hb0Zp

@mylesmill Was that you in The Times talking about the kiddie park in Wash hgts?

[JB Nicholas @JasonBNicholas]

@createcraig What exactly does "Fuck 12" mean anyway? I don't think I ever completely understood it. Can someone break it down?

Full quote from Trump to Zionist Hitler Netanyahu is:

“You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”

Some highlights: -Compares self to Rommel & J. Edgar Hoover
-Claims opposition to BP/ICE was organized 'proto-Fascist' groups
-Totally bought into Great Replacement theory
-Openly supports AfD, Restore Britain
-Explains why he thinks there are 100 mil undocumented in the US

Great idea for a story. Covered his pressers for the newspapers all the time when I worked / lived in NYC. Not a bad way to spend a Sat mrng. Chill vibe. Right off the street. Easy parking.
