the thing is that there are many "polite, liberal" racists on here and people like Zohran make them lose their shit because he reminds them, deep down, that they are bad people

Why is everything a "threat to the rule of law?" When are they simply going to say that there is no rule of law. This is the same thing as the people who keep talking about "threat to democracy" but won't land the plane.

Andrew Cuomo won’t take a hint that New Yorkers don’t want him. It’s almost like he’s a notorious abuser who won’t take no for an answer.

Senator Brisport has now joined the calls for @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social to resign. HEY YOU RACIST EMBARASSMENT. RESIGN.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

Lol, 10/10 work here David Paterson www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/n...

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

“you come up with a mean nickname to call this guy on TV?” “sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked”

Every single picture of Peter Thiel makes him look like the guy in a zombie film who's hiding that he was bitten.

psa gillibrand's comms director weighed in on the other site and needless to say she is not apologizing. move accordingly.

i don’t practice trans sharia i aint got no crystal ball

Her comments on Mamdani are grotesque but my favorite part is where she fear mongers about how we need to be worried about China's belt and road initiative in case "China tries to start a war" and that's fun to say after America started a trade war and then lobbed missiles at it's neighbours.

people don't like when you snatch the fucking ice cream man off the street in front of a church

people get annoyed when you talk about it but a big factor in zohran's success is that he's stupidly charismatic and that's actually a pretty important thing to pay attention to in candidates people like to vote for charming people! run more charming people!

Do y’all not see that these attempts to make Mamdani a Jew vs Muslim issue is CLASSIC white supremacy pitting minority groups against each other in order to divide us because we are very dangerous to them when we’re in community?? Are y’all for real gonna fall for that shit!?

Just got an al pastor from the stand on the corner and The Knack was on the radio and the grill guy was singing "Miiiiiii Cabronaaaaa!" anyway that guy rules

At least now we know why Eric Adams closed the libraries and defunded Parks. bsky.app/profile/pete...

I'm often asked what Democratic politicians can do to learn from pro wrestling and combat Republican neokayfabe The simplest answer to that question is just, "Practice doing Dusty Rhodes's 1985 'Hard Times' promo in front of the mirror every morning until you really MEAN it" 🗣️ #wrestlesky #polisky

Whether it was Cuomo voters not wanting a Muslim to be mayor or Mamdani voters not wanting a Westchester County resident to be mayor, both sides showed prejudice in their mayoral preferences.

The freakout about the Zohran government possibly opening some groceries store in food deserts is fascinating because the simplest way for capital to route around it would be for businesses just open up there and obviate the need but they appear unwilling/uninterested in doing so, so govt steps in.

old enough to remember when they said the problem with Obamacare was that it got between the patient and their doctor

NY, call her office - (202) 224-4451. I'd say DON'T be mean to the folks answering the phone - they probably hate this decision, too! I always try to ENLIST the person I'm talking to - "You and I get it; your boss doesn't. Hope you can use your influence to let 'em know how folks feel!"

She just sucks. Huge disappointment.

What happened to India Walton has been haunting this race from the beginning. You should read this super smart interview from @hellgatenyc.com hellgatenyc.com/india-walton...

This administration wants to eliminate gender studies departments while simultaneously constantly reminding us of the need for them

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement The NYT:

I think Mamdani will still win the general but it's very jarring to see wealthy donors openly pontificate about how they can undermine voters in NYC by flooding funds into a spoiler candidate. It makes the whole "you get the government you vote for" line seem like total and utter bullshit.

Voters: can you pay 50 cents more in taxes to pay for vegetables for children and agree not to defraud the elderly on their electrical bills Wall Street Guy: OH LIKE THE KILLING FIELDS?!?! LIKE THE KHMER ROUGE?!?!
