Starting at 1% in the polls, @ZohranKMamdani pulled off one of the great political upsets in modern American history.

Yes. We CAN create a government that represents working people and not the 1%.

I look forward to working with Zohran as he builds a city that works for all.

the absolute media frenzy that hits right before the election is always insane to witness. meanwhile, most people line up at polling places and wait their turn. it’s quiet, it’s orderly, it’s still democracy.

don’t buy the circus on the screen without looking around you first.

@naima 💯💯💯we’re allergic to pity so we build that “I’m good” moat to prevent it. then it prevents literally anything else connecting into that fortress of solitude. this is ringing true a lot these days.

You don’t have to share who you voted for. It’s your ballot. That’s a built-in feature you have every right to exercise.

I live in New York. My family lives in Florida. For sanity’s sake, we haven’t told each other who we’ve voted for.

But just vote. Please.

does anyone remember the Animorphs book where they’re explaining the origin stories of the main villain and he almost always avoids certain disaster before
he gains full power?

this year has felt like that book to me. Sweet jesus let this next week prove me wrong.

Nirvana’s ‘Lounge Act’ but it’s a song structure. Same tune, sung three times, third time is at a vocal cord-shredding octave higher.

Get like 5 bands to do acts II-VI and put out an EP.

At this point twitter is me jotting random ideas down

I keep hearing that the new @halsey album is great. Can’t wait to listen.

the first jamie xx album was such a massive favorite for me. this second is so much brighter and straightforward but I’m still into it. some parts are like a samba!
