The thing about Andrew Cuomo is, even if he weren’t corrupt as fuck, and even if he weren’t a creep, and even if he didn’t killed one of every four grandmothers in New York during Covid… he hates New York City and did everything he could to destroy it as Governor.

Yesterday a cyclist was killed when a driver opened the door into his path, knocked him off the bike, and then he was run over by a box truck. The NYPD determined everyone in this situation acted legally and issued no tickets. Death by design.

Things I learned while reading this: - The letter was not meant to be sent - Actually the letter was only supposed to be internal to the “antisemitism task force” - wait no it was absolutely sent on purpose - the task force and trump are on lock step www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...
