He resigned because a report he requested found extremely credible evidence that he harassed about a dozen women. He stepped down in disgrace because he would have been impeached. He's corrupt and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near City Hall. Don't rank Cuomo.

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

Just wanna make something clear to all the dumbasses out there: Sexual harassment is not a sex scandal. Sexual harassment is an abuse of power. If you cannot see the distinction, then you may want to take a look at your life and your relationships more closely

I thought this line was particularly telling, and not just for New Yorkers: “I never used to be as far left as a Bernie [Sanders], but those are the only people who are looking out for us,” said Anita Hennessey, a 61-year-old child care worker.

15,000 people died in NY nursing homes under Cuomo. His office hid the real death toll, doctored reports, and lied to the public. He personally edited the coverup. Now he’s under DOJ investigation—and leading the race for NYC mayor. www.currentaffairs.org/news/andrew-...

It would behoove certain democrats who might seek a higher office to specifically outline, right now, how they would reverse some of the damage we are witnessing on a daily basis and how they would make commitments to ensure it isn’t possible for it to happen again. Just a thought.

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill. read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

The gap between the way American Jewish communal organizations talk about the actions of the Israeli government, and the way Israeli politicians talk about the actions of the Israeli government, has never been more glaring than in the past few weeks.

Democrats don’t care about corruption. If they did they wouldn’t vote for cloture on the GENIUS Act. I am once again reminded that my political representation in New York remains just a bunch of old rich nihilists who will die in office at the ripe young age of one hundred billion before they change

Forming a new political party is unrealistic, but Democrats need to carve out a sub-party soon. Most rank-and-file Dems have very little in common with current party leaders, particularly Senate Democrats. Voters want ethical leaders willing to fight the Trump administration. We don't have that.

Friends, from my profile you can tell that in the race for NYC mayor I strongly favor Zohran. But it's also true that for today and tomorrow, perhaps the single most effective intervention Z supporters can make in the race is to give $10 each to Adrienne, Brad, Jessica, & Zellnor. Here's why. 🧵

As a Jewish New Yorker, I’d feel safer with a Mayor Mamdani than a Cuomo. Cuomo, like the republicans, will continue to use the specter of antisemitism to crack down on protests and immigrants. We cannot allow this to continue. Don’t rank Cuomo. Rank Mamdani #1

When you run for office, it's a given that people will spread lies about you — but this morning, Politico made a baseless accusation I take very seriously. So I wanted to address it directly.

My thought of the Qatari jet is that the moment Trump is out of office, the net president ought to seize it and sell it on the grounds that based on the emoluments clause, it could never have been a gift to Trump personally and so must have been a gift to the federal government.

As Democrats slowly mount a resistance against Trump’s second administration, there is no worse person to elevate than a shameless self-promoter with an inflated sense of his political gifts and accomplishments. newrepublic.com/article/1949...

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

While our disgraced mayor was kissing up to Trump in D.C. today, another mayor just across the river was arrested protesting ICE's unlawful operation of a mass deportation facility in his city. Collaboration and cowardice are not the only responses to authoritarianism.

"Being a teenage man feels like standing in a hallway with a dozen doors, and no one telling you which to pick," as opposed to being a teenage woman, which either appears to involve the same thing or people screaming at you to pick a door, right now, and when you pick it a new person screams at you.
