It's not every day that little old libertarian me invokes Althusser and repressive state apparatuses on a liberal-prog podcast, but I really enjoyed discussing Mamdani's win & socialims from a class angle with @skaushik100 and @hyded on Blue City Blues.

In the Seattle mayor's race the current trajectory is not as clear cut as @ronpdavis is making out below. Now, Ron is correct that if Katie Wilson's vote share follows the normal pattern, we should expect the counts today and Monday to push her to a narrow win. But... As my
More than still a path. If her vote share follow normal Friday/Monday patterns, she wins. Here's why:

What if Democrats (and podcasters) talked more about effective governance than ideology? Take a listen to this week's Blue City Blues Podcast about progressive @MayorWu. Also check out our earlier conversation with another wildly popular mayor, @MattMahanSJ, a moderate.
This week on Blue City Blues we asked @emmaplatoff why Boston’s progressive Mayor Michelle Wu is so wildly popular that she's running unopposed in November. Her story contrasts with @ericadamsfornyc and @MayorofSeattlewho were also elected 4 years ago.

Good Tweet @CAgovernor
The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.
