@skinnylatte I remember after the 2024 election there was all this shocked liberal outrage that many Muslim immigrants and Caribbean/LA immigrants and SE Asian immigrants voted for Trump, just all these "leopards eating faces" memes. And this is how Democrats lose, by never asking *why* these groups of immigrants don't see themselves represented by the platform and messaging. Mamdani asking people in the streets was not a gimmick or a gotcha. People aren't stupid. They disagree about stuff.

@adardis @VCP @futurebird Conspicuous hydration is such a flex in a toiletless city!

@futurebird One of the hardest things for my mom when she has tried to visit me in New York has been toilet access. If you are not used to just holding it for hours, which most of us are, the city is totally inaccessible. I showed her that most hotels will not stop you from using a lobby toilet if you look like you know what you are doing, and she was convinced the city has made me insane. And then you visit a place like Tokyo and have a luxury bidet toilet experience in a subway station...
