Beyond the greasiness of buying the election, Ackman once again repeats the trope that NYC is “becoming more violent” while NYC right now has the lowest murder and violent crime rate in *recorded history*. You can’t overstate how deranged these people are, genuinely living in an *imaginary world*.

Bowman: “Ritchie Torres is not consequential. Can we stop talking about Ritchie Torres? Ritchie Torres is a whack motherfker.”

Hanania with an incredibly sick burn What is happening

Wow we never could have predicted this. JFC

just what everyone has been demanding—an opportunity for the people stories are about to call journalists' work into question by "annotating" them right in the story what an embarrassing joke this paper has become www.seattletimes.com/nation-world...

Here's a fun thing that a top donor to Andrew Cuomo's super PAC just told me.

Could it be true? Have we seen the last of Wario Cuomo?

Don’t forget to water your geriatric lawmakers, folks

Really bad, y'all. It's been shaky but this, what is getting announced right now? This is us losing Earth & Space Science in the US.

Lady Minerva loves to go enjoy a summer rain shower! Vultures = Clean! They purify the environment by efficiently removing dangerous toxins (their digestive systems can neutralize anthrax, botulism, rabies, etc) and they spend a lot of time keeping clean themselves, too! 🪶 #soggyvultures

And the version of NYC history that their white supremacist declensions narrative is based on is an utter fiction. Fiorello La Guardia would feel right at home in today’s New York.

This is how you get primaried. Completely missing whats happening on the base level and not just shutting up Ive supported shit candidates because they won the primary, ya know the point of trying to win elections? You’re an elected official be a fucking team player

What is the "Abundance Agenda?" Fast tracked AI data centers subsidized by the public whose jobs AI will displace (assuming these facilities make economic sense), including some likely to be built on wetlands. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/t...

I loved the billionaires whining that if Zohran won, they would be obliged to leave NYC and bring the city to its knees with lost tax revenue. Hey, billionaires, how much do you actually pay into city coffers? Practically nothing; you've gamed the city forever. Go to f-ing Texas.

me: ugh, why are my eyes always irritated and why do i keep coughing in this room? the despicable mold spore:

yes this is why the establishment doesn't like ranked choice

so this is how it feels when my haters become my waiters at the table of success

"We now cut to a live interview with Eric Adams, mayor adams how do you feel about your chances of re election now?" Eric Adams:

We’re about to get a lot of months of discussion about free buses.

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

now we just have to make sure that even if billionaires and centrists spend $500 million boosting cuomo in the general election, mamdani's campaign won't end up like india walton's jacobin.com/2021/11/buff...

Ok this is true. I need to remember this.

Los Angeles, California

Reminder what New York state Democrats did the last time a Democratic Socialist was about to win the general election for mayor in a big city.

Good evening. Evening sky (just as it came out of the phone camera, unaltered). #sunset

That’s not good.

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.
