They wrote this exact same article about AOC at this exact point in 2018, there was probably one published this exact date

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

The people of our two largest cities have spent this month leading by example in the face of broken party politics and fascism’s arrival. It’s very encouraging.

This is the most Eric Adams anecdote ever so it definitely 100% happened

Pretty sure a lot of New Yorkers would be happy to help them pack. Bail on that pension and put everything you have in an uninsurable house that’ll be underwater in a decade. Godspeed, chuds.

i know people who at 19 were asked to lead men into combat. i think a 33 year old is plenty seasoned to be mayor, a job nearly everyone sucks at regardless of age

If you would like cops to not be hated by society maybe find a way to not hire anybody willing to take this order.

"Inhumane": Marine Veteran Calls for ICE to Release His Father After Video of Brutal Arrest Goes Viral

weiss’ singular talent is her ability to flatter the sensibilities of rich men of influence. that’s it. she makes them feel like they aren’t as vapidly reactionary as they actually are.

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Watch centrist pundits insist that Zohran Mamdani's mayoral win "means nothing" because NYC is "too liberal" and "out of step with mainstream American sentiment." But then why did centrists and their corporate donors pump so much money into this race?

It's a sad night for Cuomosexuals.

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

hahaha i really hope all the racist right-wing shitheads who threatened to leave NYC if Zohran won actually do it. they won't because they're cowards of comfort and convenience, but it would make the city a lot cooler!

Written before the win and one real sweet read afterwards.

On the one hand, Mamdani's win is one primary in one city. On the other hand, nationally:

NYTimes has a long history of holding conservatives—including its paid columnists, like Stephens here—to absolutely no standards whatsoever, but still worth noting the complete lack of ethics required to not mention how 99.99% of Iran's uranium stockpile was due to Trump withdrawing from JCPOA.

Abolish ICE and then end this centrist perfidy - primary every craven or bought collaborator. No more centrist quislings.

the dutch have the opportunity to do the funniest fucking thing

This entire attack line is so bizarre. It's not a phrase Mamdani uses, it's just something random people chanted at a protest. All evidence indicates that the pro-Palestinian movement is not substantially motivated by antisemitism, it is motivated by moral revulsion at mass killing.

Also our communities nourished us. People bringing the workers food made such a difference here. I’ve felt so cared for in this city.

I’m a mother from Gaza. This is me, standing at the entrance of our tent — what remains of home We have no food, no clean water, no medicine. I’ve watched my children suffer in silence, sleeping on the bare ground, crying from hunger Please, if you’re reading this, help us survive gofund.me/2655a12d

i’ve risked everything again and again and came back with nothing but today i survived bullets planes and chaos and brought back one box of aid a cruel proof that staying alive means enduring the unthinkable your donation could save us from walking into death Please share and donate if you can.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

I love that now owning a Cybertruck is a recognized sign of bad decision-making. Like you paid $80,000 to get bangs

BREAKING: George Santos has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Pleasantly surprised by this news. Maersk will cut ties with companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements on the occupied West Bank, the Danish shipping giant has said.

5% holy hell I did not know it was even possible to be this unpopular

Love living in Portland

Happy Sunday morning. Apple apps are still crap. My iPhone just gave me a report on my screen time for the week, but the app goes by the calendar week rather than the last 7 days. So my screen time is zero and it will send me another identical report next Sunday morning.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how the reason cable news became the way it is was CNN’s coverage of the first Gulf War (which was completely framed as a patriotic spectacle) being immensely profitable.

We would not be at this terrifying moment without Joe Biden & his team. Emboldening Netanyahu beyond even Israelis’ expectations (in Gaza + Lebanon), abandoning hopes of a renewed Iran nuclear deal & fracturing their voting coalition, a team that promised credentials + stability brought huge danger.

THEM: your heart's in the right place ME: where the hell else would it be

Tiberius— "There has never been a better time to watch this video"

Somebody in the Trump Administration, hopefully. Possibly. But probably not. But maybe. It could happen. Conceivably.

the Senate Democratic Caucus group chat is a dangerously out of touch online bubble

at a party with smart people who are discussing foreign affairs and praying someone asks what's the population of iran so i can chime in

A serious opposition party wouldn’t need people on social media providing free strategic advice to do the basic level of politicking.

Apropos of nothing, remember all the vociferous dread voiced before Chicago elected a lefty mayor two years ago?

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

Wife and daughter are in New York. These are the pics they send me. They know me so well lol. @americanfietser.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Cuomo quietly passed a law shielded nursing home corporations and their CEOs from COVID victims families' lawsuits - as his political machine raked in $2 million from the hospital/nursing home lobby. Now, voters may reward him by making him their mayor.
