This makes me happy.

Build libraries. Build community spaces. Build things that will outlast the outrage cycle.

When Republicans act like they are the party that supports the military and vets this is example 1,349,569 of that being so ass backwards, Biden would never have let this happen
I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.
1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.
2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.
3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.
4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.
5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.
6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.
7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.
The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

When one knows the difference between right and wrong, they show their audience.
Conor McGregor was found liable of raping a woman so violently she needed surgery.
Jimmy Fallon had him on as a guest, and that's the end of Jimmy Fallon for me. Unlike him, I know how draw lines in the sand.
