I can't believe the Democratic Party of the US is heading into another catastrophic election season without working out a better plan for Gaza.

@mpjgregoire he is!
@mpjgregoire I think a lot of people scoffed at this when it came up. A lot of the rest of us know that identity is something that doesn't always fit into an easy slot on a form. Having to deny part of your identity to fit into a specific box is dehumanising. I like that Mamdani found a way to connect to his heritage on the form.

@evan Maybe. Sure, identities are complex. But if the purpose of that question on the form was to make it easier for Black applicants to get into Columbia, then it would be unfair for him to benefit.

@elplatt about half a million fewer in swing states with raw numbers.

@evan Let's talk about the analysis in that article. The 700,000 uncommitted votes were in the primary, not in the general. The 422,000 number is voter demobilization, not Gaza. The article talks about states where elections "have" been won by 10k votes without mentioning that the actual margins were much higher in 2024, between 30k and 187k. The total number of D votes lost in swing states was 78,519 vs a 810,994 gain for Republicans. The article is intentionally misleading.

@elplatt I trust Al-Shabaka. If you think no changes are needed to Democratic Party policies and platforms, or that they'd be harmful, I encourage you to let your representatives and party leaders know.

@mpjgregoire so, you support affirmative action for Black people in college admissions?

@evan No, not really. I've spent too many years listening to #GlennLoury to do so.
But I think there's a stronger case for #AffirmativeAction in university admissions for Black Americans than for Mr. Mamdani.

@evan Sure, Mr. Mamdani's identity is complex, and he's African-American in a certain sense.
The really surprising thing is that he wasn't accepted by Columbia, despite his father's being a professor there and his family's wealth.

Looks like the US needs to lock up Durov for a few weeks as well to get some of that sweet "law enforcement collaboration" juice

Israeli bike racing team excluded from Giro d'Italia after pro-Palestine protesters disrupt previous race
The AP is reporting that protesters with Palestinian flags disrupted 7 of 11 says of the Spanish Vuelta pro bike race. At least one flagpole with a Palestinian flag on it was thrown onto the racecourse.
Citing this, organizer of the Giro d'Italia have banned the Israel Premier Tech from the race, citing "safety concerns." This is correct: one flagpole through the spokes of an Israeli riders front wheel could cause a pileup crash endangering ALL riders behind them.
In the peloton, riders often ride with only a an inch or so separating a front rider's rear wheel from the rider behind them's front wheel. I have ridden in training peltons myself and even a couple Cat 5 (amateur) bike races myself when I was younger so I know exactly how close and fast the action is in a tightly spaced peloton. There is almost no time to react to a crash ahead. The riders are good enough bike handlers that most of the time they are able to evade piling up when someone goes down (often in a corner) but not all of the time.
Yes, this is about safety. Israel should not be allowed to enter any sporting event where they attract anything that could endanger other participants.
The Vuelta and Giro are both stage races like the well-known Tour De France and two of the big ones. Neither can afford to invite a hazard like Israeli teams. Vuelta organizers got burned on this, Giro organizers learned from it.
