the absolute Lord Charles curveball of that last sentence…

this is why i am pretty confident there will not be a meaningful attempt to do an end run around mamdani. a lot of elite cuomo support seemed to be based on “well, he’s probably going to win and he’s a vindictive asshole and i don’t want to be on his bad side.”

The maddening thing is that this would have been PAINFULLY OBVIOUS if they had ANY EXPERIENCE AT ALL working with the government! In any way! Or if they had asked a single question!! 😖

Last week, a 55-year-old Muslim woman was violently attacked on the subway by a man who asked her “are you Muslim?” before assaulting her. Today, we joined w our friends at the Arab American Association of NY and Malikah in solidarity against Islamophobic hate violence & hate violence of all kinds.

This is good news. Every dead weight Democrat ought be forced to run increasingly desperate campaigns, suffering constant public humiliation until they have nothing left

Donald Trump gets VERY upset when convicted sex offenders take huge Ls. I'm here for it.

btw professional republicans paved the way for this by calling everyone to the left of George W. Bush a socialist. say that enough times and people are like, huh, okay, cool 🤷

The people of our two largest cities have spent this month leading by example in the face of broken party politics and fascism’s arrival. It’s very encouraging.

A bunch of dipshits leaving the city results in lowering house prices, mamdani does it before he is even elected mayor

I just left court and pleaded not guilty—because I am not guilty. We will fight this. Trump’s administration won’t intimidate me or stop me from doing my job. To all who stand up to this administration—do not back down. The facts are on our side. I look forward to the next time in court.
