No way adams gets more than 10% of the vote. He's like 80% unfavorable! I do think more time to expose Cuomo is good though...

couldn't name a knick, couldn't name a song he would be excited to hear blasting out a car window. just kind of a bummer all around.

@scottstringernyc.bsky.social: totally out to lunch. just seemed completely detached and out of it, a lot of his responses were "we can't do that because it's not practical" (he might be right but not an inspiring campaign message!).

@bradlander.bsky.social: extremely earnest dad energy, fairly funny and likable, led a lot of banter, clearly going for the center-left lane, stayed until the end (he was the last one on stage). the man loves theater and culture. said he wanted his first summer as mayor to be "pool party summer".

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: extremely charismatic, way too online, impressed by his story of coalition building in albany. he did kick off a series of questions/responses about how cuomo is terrible, so credit to him there.

Does it matter? They have DeepSeek, open source models are pretty good, etc. I guess I don't know if there's hardware involved...

But we can still speak up for housing and change this.
Tell the Adams administration to stop blocking affordable homes on Elizabeth Street!

Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.

Pretending like Adrienne Adams, Cuomo and Lander would behave identically on this issue is sticking your head in the sand!

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:
"We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."

If we're just looking at mode share, this is useful: citiesmoving.com/visualizatio...
Shocking to me that New York's modeshare is only 25% public transit but I suspect it's the metro area not the city proper

Makes sense but I guess the similarity is the built environment

Curious how to think about this because there are places like Cairo that yes it has a metro system but also intensely hostile to pedestrians

Impeachment discourse needs to turn toward the supreme court that enables Trump to resist effective oversight. Mazars was bad!

Yo this post is great, incredible work getting the clips together and going goal by goal. I think the analysis of the defensive depth and exhaustion issue is spot on.
