I'm about as strategic a voter as they come ... in general elections. If it's down to two evils, I'm there, every single time, first in line to vote for the lesser one.

But I will scream until my dying day that primaries just aren't for that. Primaries are about preference. They're for picking the one you like best. That's why I love giant primaries with a dozen candidates and ranked choice voting. It's my favorite kind of democracy. It's both effective and sincerely fun for me.

So if you're in New York City, a city I love but don't vote in, please vote your preference, not what someone else tells you is smart or strategic. Vote your values and don't believe them when they say you have to compromise. Not yet. And please, please, don't rank Cuomo.

Tomorrow is Tuesday. That means morning meeting, which means pulling oneself together, which means the concierge (my phone) will wake me up at 7:30, which comes very early around here.

But it *also* means, for all of us, not just for me, that we have another chance, to be brave and kind, to inch ever so much closer towards who we wish we were.

It's a Tuesday, so:

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay angry. Stay silly. Stay kind.

Of course the lede is the comically careless security breach, but after that, look at the level of discourse as our top intelligence and DoD officials try to decide matters of life and death.

"if you think we should do it let’s go. I just hate bailing Europe out again.” (The Vice President.)

"I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC." The Secretary of Defense.

They're clowns. They're children. They've been handed awesome power.

I’d like to extend my sincere condolences to my American friends for what we’re about to do to the U.S., but sometimes the only way to deal with a bully is to punch them in the face. That traitor is holding you hostage, and until he’s removed, the best we can do for you, friends, and us, is to kick the stuffing out of him.

Also, it’s been a long cold winter since that orange buffoon and his Fox ilk started harassing us a decade ago, and whatever small pain we can inflict on that arse is good.

I said what I said about the universal appeal of anti-Black racism in the US🤷🏿‍♂️

This is why you lose.

This is why you have no defense against foreign interference.

This is why all of the other stuff on the other side of the chart, is so easy for them to accomplish.

"At least he hurt Black folk!🤡"
