Michael Tomasky on why Mamdani apppeals to so many, and scares the bejasus out of the Democratic establishment:

"He told some very simple truths. He said: You’re getting screwed. And it’s not some invisible and undefinable hand of God that’s screwing you. It’s specific actors, and the politicians who are their handmaidens."

Hi, Rod!

Fuck off, Rod!

Go and parade your declining mental acuity somewhere else! We don't need it or, as it turns out, you here.

@HarriettMB Starmer has essentially said death to poor and disabled people but the police are "investigating" whether saying death to a genocidal army is illegal?! Right, got it!
