Axios is wrong— he did not dodge the question, he answered it directly by saying he thinks Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights for all. If you think that's incompatible with it being a Jewish state then that's your problem.

Things like this really don't make me confident about state-owned grocery stores.

Sigh. Transit advocates have been asking for years for more resources to make buses better: Countdown clocks, car cameras, more service, accessibility training, sheltered bus stops, TPS, and so on. Free fares was never it and we're no closer to getting what we've BEEN asking for w/ this attitude.

Basically 90%+ of treachery amongst Democrats is perpetrated by people directly or indirectly funded by cryptocurrency.

Since Mamdani won the Dem NYC mayor nomination with a free bus proposal, let's talk about free transit. Research suggests that free transit: a—increases ridership b—doesn't get people out of cars c—benefits youth, elderly & low-income ppl d—doesn't add employment e—maybe ups operational efficiency

This kind of shit is, in its own way, Holocaust trivialization. It's hard not to find it morally revolting.

If I may be a contrarian here I'd argue that the victory of a democratic socialist is not "like a spiritual Kristallnacht."

My Instagram feed suddenly changed from all Spanish learning content to every Zohran post he ever made. (And I kept watching them because they are good) I wonder if that’s because of a surge of general interest, a surge from my friends, or because I peeped the profile of the video maker

I'm sorry New Yorkers chose not to indulge your deranged hallucinations, but we have a city to win

Schumer first, obviously, but we need to get rid of Gillibrand too. New York deserves feminist senators, not…. ours

again, more than 40% of Cuomo's 2025 endorsers called on him to resign four years ago and I think it's incredibly important to recognize the breadth of cowardice from the current political class and the depth of courage of the women who stood up to him, like @lindseyboylan.bsky.social.

“It takes a lot to pull one over on New Yorkers, and when we looked around, the city described in Cuomo attack ads simply did not exist. We recognize that the city’s problems come mostly from the people above, and not the ones sitting next to us on the subway.”

one of the really remarkable things about America's court theocracy is that there's a total lack of accountability - no interviews, no press appearances, no elections, no actual Congressional oversight, a completely bankrupt system.

Honestly, this made me laugh out loud (maybe it was more of a horrified cynical rattle). Points for honesty!

How did we as a society decide that we’re going to solve FOR problems, not solve them? This is not even how the term is used in math! Solving for a problem just means figuring out what the problem is – not solving it!

"But we feel unsafe, no matter what the reality is" sums up so many of the problems in our politics today. It's why Cuomo was almost able to get away with his fear mongering about the subway, for example, or why people with almost no experience with immigrants or trans people vote the way they do.

schumer notably doesn’t say congratulations in this statement that reads more like a republican begrudgingly conceding. i hope brad lander primaries him.

as a jew, i feel relieved and vindicated that cynical fearmongering about israel did not win this election for a sex creep and grandma killer, a win which would have been declared ‘on my behalf’ and which i and most of my fellow jews did not want
