there are a lot of reasons to not rank cuomo. he's a serial sexual harasser, he covered up nursing home covid deaths, and he would be awful for the mta. but i have to admit i'm not ranking cuomo largely because it would make him so mad if he loses

the assassination of one of their own is STILL not enough to motivate them to do anything this is like sandy hook but for dems; if this doesn't get them scared enough to do something, literally nothing will

I wrote about this back in April: Places like NYC becoming unaffordable is a *huge* problem for Democrats nationally. If Cuomo wins the mayoral race, it's much likelier the electoral college becomes nearly unwinnable for Democrats in 2032. amandalitman.substack.com/i/160446970/...

mamdani supports the council proposal to ban noncompete clauses in NYC if u want another reason to vote for him. that was the sickest biden policy imo (of course no longer in effect under trump)

If you rank Zohran 1st you’re voting to make every New York Times Opinion writer insane for several years.

If Mamdani wins this primary, the institutional/organizational forces trying to defeat him in a general election will be enormous, likely including the city’s billionaires, major news orgs, prominent black leaders and many Dem politicians. That’s what happened to India Walton in Buffalo in 2021.

Any time you’re wondering “why don’t people believe Zohran Mamdani’s repeated and consistent statements about what he believes” you can get 90% of the way there by remembering that he is Muslim and a lot of these people are bigoted.

Seriously risking World War 3 as a distraction for Zionist genocidal land theft is about as Israeli as it gets.

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

losers, losers all the way down

the ruling class isn’t afraid to use violence against us. people who say we can only ever respond peacefully - to fucking murder and kidnapping - is being ridiculous. riots have brought us great things! revolutions have brought us great things!

One important difference being that the Republicans know how to harness the energy of their ultra-ideological flank, while the Democrats spend incredible amounts of energy and money trying to neutralize theirs.

“Cuomo was good on COVID policy” was an op it bamboozled a lot of people! if that’s you, you’re not alone! a ton of resources went into making you feel that way! I covered pandemic news for my local community and pals, that was a lonely place to stand

LAPD and LA Sheriffs tried to prevent two large protests from joining together in downtown and both departments ended up hitting EACH OTHER with impact munitions from across the same interesection.

A sign sighted at a Rhode Island #nokings rally. I definitely can get behind this.

US white evangelicalism is a death cult

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”

It's not just that they love the city but they love the city as it is. That doesn't mean they don't want fewer rats or cleaner streets but they don't see improving the city as stripping it of the people who give it character. They don't want nyc to be just a playground for the rich.

never kill yourself you must outlive the terrorist state of israel

I believe unions are our only hope in the collective struggle against fascism and capitalism. Get yourself representatives, not leaders. People like you who don't shy from the protests front line. Not dummies in suits who talk on TV and won't take risks.

GET FUCKED, DADDY SAID SAY MY NAME MOTHERFUCKER

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right

We've just updated the @wired.com guide to protecting your privacy while attending protests with the latest best practices. @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/how-to...

this is so emblematic of the differences of the centrist democrat and the leftist democrat. centrists have nothing to offer and have to rely on fear to gain power while the left actually has a vision for a better world, this is why centrists have to resort to this rhetoric

now more than ever, kill the cop in your heart my friends

The protest organizers for these no king rallies really need to distance themselves from the resist liberals or they are going to run the risk that the resist liberal propaganda outlets co-op their rallies and turn off the broad appeal needed and destroy the movement.

Pathetic: ABC’s GMA, World News Tonight, This Week, CBS’ Mornings, Evening News, Face the Nation, NBC’s Today, Nightly News, Meet the Press, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal all failed to cover Trump's new office for ethnic cleansing.

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

I know we can't drop "what are you fighting for American GI" leaflets on these guys but I think it would be wise to goad some of these folks to lay down their gear and switch sides

The Red Shoes just started up on Criterion 24/7 fyi

Spraying the ICE agents with paint using a repurposed fire extinguisher appears to be a turning point in this confrontation in Tucson today. Same tactic worked well against around thirty cops at a Montreal protest in Nov. 2024, blinding at least one and forcing a whole unit to retreat down an alley.

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

All gas, no breaks. Only you can make this poll a reality: zohranfornyc.com/events

People ran pieces about how the discipline of the movement was actually proof of a disturbing and dangerous groupthink. We got whole columns of people complaining about having to speak with official spokesmen.

the irony of this rich mf saying this shit as if he is any different than the democratic establishment; brother you ARE the democratic party

After a weeklong trek across central Nova Scotia, the crowd-controlled Internet Roadtrip has reached the Halifax area, and for some reason the first thing they voted to do was to visit IKEA neal.fun/internet-roadtrip

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.
