One year ago I began talking to an atheist chaplain, Devin Moss, who was giving spiritual care to an atheist man on death row in Oklahoma, named Phillip Hancock. I followed along as they wrestled with the question: How do you face death without God?

As @sarahschulman3 has written, one of the great lessons from ACT UP is that the best way to build a movement is to make it fun and connective. It needs to be a place where you meet people, find dates, make lifelong friendships and do fun things together.
Zohran Mamdani built an anti-loneliness campaign. He met voters who were attached to screens, isolated from the pandemic, spiritually unmoored — and got them out of the house, because the political, to them, was personal. W/ the wonderful @boreskes

‘Addicted to their screens, strapped for cash, spiritually unmoored and socially stunted by the pandemic, young New Yorkers needed a reason to get out of the house. They found it in Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral run.’ Our political moment….excellent piece.

"The campaign was over. The beret was back on." my dispatch from Curtis Sliwa's election night party:
nytimes.com
Mr. Sliwa, an anti-crime activist who is the product of a bygone city, said he hoped the incoming mayor succeeded, but not at the cost of socialism and a weakened police force.

The 34-year-old assemblyman won the Democratic primary by defying the city’s all-powerful establishment. He secured the mayoralty by delicately disarming it.

More than the cool videos and the great ads, what made the @ZohranKMamdani campaign special was the sense of community he built among his supporters.

A few years out from a despair-inducing pandemic, @ZohranKMamdani campaign wasn’t just about mobilizing, but socializing. The social buoyancy of his campaign wasn’t just for show. It got young people out of the house to canvass, party + vote. w/@emmabgo

Zohran Mamdani isn't the first person with ties to democratic socialism to run for New York mayor. I looked into the history -- featuring David Dinkins at a Socialist Council, La Guardia's run as a socialist and Bill De Blasio's stop at a DSA conference https://t.co/phOtybaRr1

Zohran Mamdani’s opponents have portrayed his Democratic Socialists of America affiliation as unusual, but he is not the first New York politician — or would-be mayor — with ties to the group.

"New York has always been, in its own imagination and the country’s, a city of often contradictory superlatives — the biggest, brightest, richest, harshest, give-us-your-tired-est, little-too-wired-est spot on the American map" pitch perfect @mattfleg
nytimes.com
New York City has often set the political, cultural and financial course of the country. Tuesday’s mayoral election — and a New Yorker watching from Washington — could scramble it all.
