Straight from the printers. New edition out in October.

So the Clippers got Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for SGA and 10 first-round picks.

My wife and I just had our first child and I've been buying tons of baby-related items, so naturally my instagram feed is filled with reels celebrating the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus???

Physical copies of The Blueprint are finally here. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790853/th...

Came home from the hospital last week (on the 14th anniversary of meeting my wife) with a beautiful baby boy and a bunch of grandma's cooking.

I hope to spend the rest of my life somewhere between the Hudson/Delaware and the sea

History and culture sustain the left. The memory of our martyrs, the struggles of generations before us: “Then, comrades, let us rally, The last fight let us face; The Internationale Unites the human race.” There is no emancipatory left without them.

It's going to be tough for us to come back from this one...

I think about this from time to time and get angry, and I'm not even Mike Mussina.

Mandatory voting, and these are the only two 2028 presidential choices

I'm sorry for objecting to all signs that that Jon Stewart was becoming a solid social democrat.

George Lombard Jr. just debuted at shortstop for the Yankees, the youngest since Jeter. His grandmother Posy was in SDS, drove to Selma in '65, then went to Natchez to canvass for the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Jailed at Parchman & ended up w/ 300+ pages of FBI fil…Mostrar mais

Far too low. Job's not done.

The first review of The Blueprint is out now. I'm afraid to read it, but the HED and DEK look positive! www.liberalcurrents.com/democratic-sociali...

RIP to a great fighter for freedom and justice, Johanna Fernández. If you're not familiar with it, spend some this time this weekend looking into her life and work. www.johannafernandez.info

Sad but true

*We will win when a democratic socialist movement builds a large enough majoritarian coalition to democratize the state, socialize production, and ensure basic needs as social rights.

Shams went on Game Over and basically gave the Tim Russert line on his journalism: I don't report something unless I'm told it's on the record. That makes you a publicist putting out press releases, not a journalist.

It took me a while to go through this, but I'm pretty sure that by North Korea rules (or the ones the DPRK Basketball Association used in the late '90s) the Spurs would be up in the NBA Finals 3-2 right now.

A compliant from some old DSOC types I heard was that NAM came into the merger with fewer members and resources than they expected...

In honor of the Knicks victory, Zohran should've pressured the MTA to rename that station Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street. My biggest complaint so far.

"The people." Somehow I doubt they're that interested in populism. I can't wait until Trump is gone so that they can go back to just calling themselves "Republicans."

Probably no need to remark on how dumb this is. But if the police searched my apartment tomorrow, they might find Joseph de Maistre, Schmitt, and Oswald Spengler somewhere.... not sure the Post would be running this headline.

Zohran Mamdani once applied for a @thenation internship. He didn't get it. But he did get our endorsement for mayor and we have high hopes for what he'll do in office.

Woke up today thinking that Graham Platner was a committed anti-fascist who wants to live in a more equal country. Going to bed with the same thought.

Cory Booker invoking Malcolm X while defending taking AIPAC money captures Gen X Democratic Party politicians really well.

I'm glad the tide is turning. Legal sports betting didn’t spread because the public demanded it. A Supreme Court ruling opened the floodgates, and the gambling industry spent millions lobbying states to legalize it.

I'm not sure where he's getting his information, but JD Vance is lying about The Nation magazine. We'd welcome donations from anyone who respects our editorial independence, but we're not funded, not one dime, by Soros or Open Society Foundation.

Ezra Klein endorses Brad Lander, but with a far more generous take on Zohran than you get from other Times commentators: "I’ve found Mamdani to be a smart and subtle thinker — able to absorb new information quickly and balance ideas against each other..." www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/opinion/mayor-l...Mostrar mais

Most endearing political advertisement I’ve ever watched.

At ⁦@thenation⁩, we’re urging New Yorkers to rank Zohran Mamdani as their first choice in next month’s mayoral primary. www.thenation.com/article/politics/nation-...

This verbatim was MSNBC post-election commentary: "This really was a historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had Queen Latifah [who] never endorses anyone! She had every prominent celebrity voice, she had the Taylor Swifties, she had the Beyhive. You could not run a better campaig…Mostrar mais

Feeling pretty confident that Harris is going to win this. Haven’t felt this confident since 2016.

So true. Every other immigrant group is like “our homeland is terrible and we have no affinity with it.”

Mass immigration saved America

New York City was never ready for a vegan mayor

This is crazy. Biden lost non-college educated voters by 4 percent, which was a big sign of class dealignment. Now Harris is set to lose them by 17 percent. She might win in 2024 with an anti-Trump professional base but what’s going to happen in 2028 and 2032?

Chris Cuomo the Bolshevik 🫡

Bernie's speech overall was fantastic: 1. He showed his admirable consistency in advocating for a working-class agenda around jobs, health care, and cost of living. 2. He does overrated the impact of the Biden agenda and the measures taken. 3. But his call for an immediate ce…Mostrar mais

All these potential VPs are flawed (in similar ways) but listening to Walz it’s clear he’s a stronger communicator & has a vision of winning people many liberals want to write off. Picking short-term electoral college bet over a weapon against long-term dealignment is a mista…Mostrar mais

This needs to be the constant hit on JD Vance, who built his career on elitist disdain for the poor and culture of poverty tropes.

Any politician at any level should be able to pull off a solo, unscripted news conference. The fact that Biden pulling one off competently would make him the “comeback kid” in the eyes of so many is a sure sign he shouldn’t be running.

Biden cannot communicate well enough to win another election. Full stop.

Pope Francis needs to make a call. It’s our only hope at this point.

Someone has to pull a fire alarm and help Biden out here

I admire Bowman for responding to the AIPAC onslaught head on and for much of his record when in office. He won’t disappear from the American political map. There’s no doubt that a negative result in NY-16 means something about his missteps and perhaps the broader Squad’s appea…Mostrar mais

Bari Weiss built her brand on opposing identity politics and then proceeded to produce a ton of identity politics.

RIP

I think Bill Burr has a majoritarian position, a commonsense defense of Palestinian civilians, and Bill Maher sounds like a lunatic. I wish the president agreed.
