We have kind of two mayoral races going on right now. One is a bunch of earnest left of center wonks putting out policy papers and the other one is two guys doing an Alien vs. Predator thing

What's this? Cuomo's own people talking in specific and urgent terms about why he'd be a terrible mayor? hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

@jessicaramosqns.bsky.social Your petitioner incorrectly informed my wife that she can sign more than one Mayoral petition when she'd already signed Zohran's earlier in the day. Any chance she can strike her own name? Also, probably just need to update your training.

New York women say #HellNoCuomo #NoMasCuomo

The best thing New Yorkers can do to say F you to Trump is ensure that neither Eric Adams or Andrew Cuomo are mayor in Jan 2026.

Hochul’s move here is profoundly racist and dehumanizing. Defining Palestinian studies as fundamentally antisemitic means defining Palestinians as something to be erased. It is genocidal. This is also an unacceptable attack on academic freedom. The governor should have no say in faculty hiring.

Cuomo, for NYers who feel that Eric Adams's problems were being too humble, spending too much time governing and not enough time on being corrupt and petty feuding.

Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace after sexually harassing women, covering up nursing home COVID deaths, and misusing taxpayer money for personal gain. No Democrats who believe in accountability, transparency, and respect for women should support his run for mayor.

Andrew Cuomo is a disgraced former governor who sexually harassed multiple women, covered up nursing home deaths, and used taxpayer dollars to write a book. Endorsing Cuomo is shameful.

I finally got what's bugged me about all these stories on the crippling of the US govt: all of them speak of "cuts" when, in fact, only Congress can 'cut' funding, and it has done nothing of the sort. The story describes illegal & unconstitutional impoundment, BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

The $billions in middle class tax breaks would be better spent on mitigating climate risks that are driving up all of our home insurance rates, building social housing, or investing in public health (ROIs of 14 to 27:1). Hochul lacks the vision to lead NY.

Pretty sure appointing Rent Guideline Board members who hiked rents by 4x the rate under DiBlasio didn't help make NYC more affordable. Please also remember that he ran in 2021 on building 500K new housing units that turned into a proposal for 100K that turned into a law projecting 80K.

This really ought to trigger a round of other elected officials calling for the mayor to resign. He protected his friend a police chief who was raping his subordinates in exchange for overtime pay.
