Cannot imagine the psychological whiplash of going from believing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you’re going to be president 3 days ago to noting this evening, happily yet completely anonymously, that the Outback in Kissimmee has no wait for a table.

Ta-Nahesi Coates is one of the few Obama-era liberal darlings who really grew because he did the reading and understood that he was embedded within a much more insidious machine than he even originally thought.
Ta-Nehisi Coates on Kamala Harris’ 2024 Presidential campaign:
“And yet… why are we here? Are we here to just act like white men have acted everytime before?”
“The struggle means to me not just that we would get the boot of our necks, but that we would destroy the boot, that this would not happen to other people.”

🚨NEW: @AbdulElSayed responds to Dem powerbrokers saying it’s too dangerous for him to be Dems’ Senate nominee:
“If you’re Chuck Schumer, I’m dangerous. If you’re AIPAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re a corporate PAC, I’m dangerous. If you’re Blue Cross Blue Shield’s CEO, I’m pretty damn dangerous.”

it's kind of crazy that if you want a career as a public servant in the US you have to be prepared for the paper of record to interview every single one of your exes from every period of your life and hope they say nothing but good things

Young people are always told what not to do. But what should you do?
Did you know that most public libraries have a Nintendo Switch to use? That parks show free movies at night? That there's a map of pickup basketball games?
Nyc.gov/summer is a map of free and affordable things to do this summer that we made just for you.
