Wishing you breath and peace and space and clarity as we go into the weekend. Shabbat Shalom, y’all.

This poison is now too deep in the blood of our system for anything short of radical structural change to address it. Possible reforms like expanding the court are not going to be adequate and cannot be accomplished on the timeframe necessary to protect vulnerable Americans from what is coming.

Cuomo is a political cockroach.

people sometimes ask me “how did you get in my house?!?!” & i have to spend 12 minutes gently explaining that they live in a walkable city

Ironically, in the very interview Gillibrand is so nastily misrepresenting, Mamdani says one reason he avoids policing language is knowing how “Arabic words can be twisted, can be distorted, can be used to justify any kind of meaning” having grown post-9/11. And here she is, doing exactly that.

Adams has the same problem that Cuomo faced: the more voters are reminded of him, the more likely they remember any of the many reasons not to like him. It's hard to run a successful campaign while staying juuust far enough inside the periphery of voters' consciousness that they remember your name.

Poor Curtis Sliwa waving his arms frantically for attention while New York's billionaires say "please, anyone run against Mamdani, literally anyone, we will give you half a billion dollars, is there NO ONE out there"

Rather than the usual top-cop stuff, Adams is talking affordable housing, free pre-K, mental health resources, and "fighting for working-class New Yorkers," that he's saying he's about "solutions, not slogans." It's clear Mamdani has firmly defined the field they're going to be fighting on.

"When we took 20,000 guns off the streets, we took them out of the hands of black and brown people," riffs Mayor Adams in his reelection announcement speech.

Kirsten Gillibrand on WNYC won’t endorse Mamdani. Said she doesn’t endorse NYC mayoral races (she endorsed Adams in 2021), and is waiting to see who runs on what line. What a fucking disgrace.

And, just as the US did with Cuba, Republicans will attempt to cut off all resources to New York and then blame Mamdani for any resulting downturn.
