There is a very simple reason New York Democrats shouldn't vote for Andrew Cuomo: he is actually a Republican. When given a chance to help Republicans maintain control of his state, he took it. He actively works to keep Democrats from achieving their goals and takes money from Trump supporters.

More than anything, #Signalgate shows the utter contempt that this administration has for our country and for the rule of law.

We received this great message from a 1st-time voter: "I never thought I'd vote in the World Zionist Congress, but it's important to support @hatikvahslate.bsky.social [for] an Israel that lives up to its highest values." If it's the 1st or 15th time, #voteHatikvah, slate #16, at zionistelection.org

It's #WhyVoteWednesday. So why vote in the World Zionist Congress elections, you might ask? We've got 5 billion reasons - as in $5 billion in allocations that'll be directly impacted by the results, with huge implications both for Israeli society and global Jewish life. www.hatikvahslate.net/about-3

We are in the midst of a political civil war and it’s time for Dems to act like it. We must be united in our opposition to what the GOP has become: a fascist party. We also must spell out what we’d do with power, and not just big government spending bills. We need a political revolution.

Elon Musk does not give a single shit about how much money the government spends. Everything he is doing is to reduce its power to regulate all his shit-ass businesses. This should be in the first paragraph of any story about it.

Jews need to call out antisemitism on the left and the right (including in higher ed). But we shouldn't let corrupt, anti-democratic pols instrumentalize antisemitism (i.e., use legitimate Jewish fear & pain to do their nefarious work). Just saying.
