If New York turns into London, do we get an efficient underground train system, the National Health Service, Borough Market, the Soane Museum & Bukayo Saka?

My hot take is McConnell is a major culprit here bc he turned the ball over a bunch & when he went off in the 3rd he basically didn't look to pass at all & took the Pacers out of their offensive rhythm

This post is pure word-goulash, full of heinous grammatical errors & other infelicities. But I'm letting it stand as a burnt offering to the gods bc the feeling behind it is so pure

The level of DGAF the Pacers can play with under these circumstances make they very, very dangerous

Cuomo’s biggest donors are cheering Trump on. These are the MAGA warmongers who would have his ear in City Hall.

the dem consultant class thinks it can shrink itself into a shape that's immune to rw complaints and it's just so goofy. just lost a dang squeaker on the strat and the rebound plan is to appeal to mathematically less ppl, to antagonize more base. masterful gambit.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

There is literally no argument against Zohran Mamdani that is anywhere in the same realm as serial sexual harassment of government employees and then hijacking $60 mil+ of taxpayer dollars to defend yourself and attack the people who tried to hold you accountable.

Rich pundits paid by billionaires whose yachts have yachts are telling you with a straight face that there’s no way to afford some free city buses to take the poors to their jobs cleaning the yachts.

NYCers, this is really good and quite smart.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

"It is, essentially, identity politics, in the derogatory sense in which critics of identity politics often use the term. The most important thing about Cuomo is who he is against—the left—and what he signals, not what he has done or would do." slate.com/news-and-pol...

Oh man, RIP William Langewiesche. I'm gonna be maudlin & admit he was my journalistic hero, both for the depth of his reporting & esp his prose, which was so strong & clear & austere—stoical & poetic, with every word slotted into place just so & very few adjectives clotting things up. A master.

I don't think I've ever felt more like burning it all down than I have while witnessing the elite project to turn Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander into scary, incompetent monsters while turning an actual incompetent monster, Andrew Cuomo, into a merely complicated fellow who just made an oopsie.

Highly recommend this (28 min) Louise Nevelson documentary, for those who are into that sort of thing

We haven’t even heard one thing Cuomo likes about the city. Contrast that with Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani who have made the symbols of New York part of their campaigns, from the Cyclone to the Subway.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou
