I am trying to spend less and less time on this tragically diseased website, but if you want to follow my thoughts, you can find them here: daviddelaney.substack.com/

— West Side upbringing — "He's fresh, everyone else is tired" — Lots of volunteers, loves walking — 1M votes in the General Election — Supported by progressive third party — Plethora of young aides at City Hall — Knicks Championship

My reporting: Pedro Sánchez aims to mobilize his progressive base and have his Villepin moment in the hopes that history will treat him kindly. After Trump threatened an embargo, Madrid moved quickly to implement an idea that permeated Sánchez’s entourage for months: Europeans are sick of the bullying. It’s a political catalyst. Madrid looks to organize an international progressive gathering in April to counter global MAGA. euronews.com/my-europe/2026/…

The new Middle East, as seen by Netanyahu, is coming into view. "Summarising Israeli government’s position, Citrinowicz said: “If we can have a coup, great. If we can have people on the streets, great. If we can have a civil war, great. Israel couldn’t care less about the future . . . [or] the stability of Iran." ft.com/content/dd070ee7-7021…

We need better Democrats. Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

Inside this latest Trump-Mamdani meeting: -Last time the two met, Trump asked him to return with ideas to build big things. Mamdani came back with a massive housing proposal -Mamdani's team created mock headlines to show Trump how such a project would be received. He was "very enthusiastic." -Mamdani pushed for release of Columbia student detained today, Trump calls him later to tell him she's being released -Mamdani gives Susie Wiles a list of four other students he wants help with, all targeted in pro-Palestinian protests apnews.com/article/donald-tr…

Say a prayer today for the brave people of Ukraine. Their fierce courage and resilience in the face of brutal Russian aggression is a beacon for the world in these dark times. The illegal war resulting from Russia’s invasion has gone on for four years now. Four years of unspeakable bloodshed at the hands of Vladimir Putin. This is why it’s so essential to build & preserve multilateral action, not Trump’s mad burn-down-our-alliances approach. It takes a broad coalition to preserve freedom against autocrats. We must remain resolute in our solidarity with Ukraine. Let there be just & lasting peace. 🇺🇦

he has that mets fan in him that’s for sure

"My daughter grew up to be a civil rights attorney and refused to vote for a sex offender. Where did I go wrong?" This is beyond parody.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

20 Листопада 1917 року Третім Універсалом була проголошена Українська Народна республіка. Сьогодні — річниця народження української державності, яка, нерозривно пов'язуючи себе з долею свого народу, змогла досягти неймовірних висот. УНР стала не тільки досягненням державного самовизначення українців, а й найбільш інноваційною та егалітарною державою того часу — вона забезпечила широкі політичні та соціальні свободи і реформи, партисипативні елементи правління, децентралізацію і національні права, а також — кооперативну економіку, як альтернативу вільноринковій олігархії і централізовано-плановому соціалізмові. Проголошення також стало першим кроком для розширення і розвитку всіх державних інституцій, зокрема гордої Української республіканської армії. Вітаю всіх з цією важливою річницею.

two schools of thought on protecting Jewish safety in America: 1) we either fight for a pluralistic democracy where we are safe because minority rights are protected or 2) we seek junior partner status in the MAGA white nationalist alliance the ADL has chosen door #2

Mamdani’s critics aren’t angry that he has a double standard for Israel, they’re angry that he doesn’t.

This was the actual plan of the Confederacy. Anyone who tells you they just wanted to defend their way of life and live in peace or whatever is full of shit. They wanted a literal Slaver's Bay.

If the bombs stop, and the hostages go home, that will be a tremendous blessing. Thank goodness. But there will never be real peace--Palestinians and Israelis will never enjoy real safety--until Palestinians are free. peterbeinart.substack.com/p/…

They are weaker than they look. We can fight, and we can win. People’s healthcare is too important to give up on.

This the Democratic Party we can have if we want it.

Fighting Oligarchy is a movement builder and lends itself to great policy making

Amazing to watch the hasbara industry going into complete meltdown over growing international recognition of something they told us for so long that Israel accepted but Palestinians rejected: a Palestinian state alongside Israel.

One fascinating thing that’s happened since January is that Bernie Sanders has effectively taken a role as President of anti-Trump America. He’s been regularly giving national address-style videos for major events and getting millions of views each time.
