ZOHRAN MAMDANI: "It is sad that for too many Americans when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, they have to turn to a history book."

Can headlines please do their jobs! It’s not “critics say” there’s no question that’s exactly what it does. That’s the news!

In their first public appearance together, Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York met with former President Barack Obama at a child care center in the Bronx on Saturday to promote the mayor’s free child care plan. nyti.ms/4tWeBhs

Current hostility (on the part of politicians and institutional leaders alike) to even looking at the past is strikingly blunt. It touches many disciplines, but denying history is the key issue.

The backlash against Bouie’s piece on Enlightenment and then the 1619 Project were public turning points

"There is a reason the Resistance centres prisoners: they face a specific type of colonial violence through isolation and torture that occurs outside the public eye. Behind closed doors, Palestinian prisoners see the genocidal ideology of their oppressors mask-off."

“Thousands dead, as an explicit policy goal.”

“As you are reading this, there are children separated from their families, prisoners being beaten and abused, and sick people dying in detention cells…It is an atrocity. It is a depravity. It is a moral abattoir. And it must end.”

The tea is you can’t even sell out a medium-size venue in *Massachusetts* and I know because I live down the street from said venue and didn’t even know you were in town until I looked at their upcoming events and saw that literally 2 days before your talk there were still dozens of tickets for sale

@kamalaharris.com you do not have the principles - nor the courage to STAND on your principles - necessary to do what this country needs to do. We see you trying to build a base and run. Don’t do it. You’re going to embarrass yourself

Yes! Highly recommend if you haven’t read it, and would be interested to hear your thoughts if you have

Why yes, I am reading about metacognitive reflection and insight therapy, why do you ask?

When you really think about it, the entire field of psychology really is just a decades-long endeavor in metacognition

One of the funnier things about apolitical therapists is that you often actually know their political beliefs. Whether implicitly or explicitly they sometimes post about them daily.

Loll I feel so seen
