I feel confident that my NYC mayoral primary ballot will include these five candidates Adams, Lander, Mamdani, Myrie, Stringer I am going to wait until election day to see what the implications of any specific ranking will be, multi-way primaries can move very quickly and unexpectedly

I think California needs to start arresting Feds. drastic but we’re there.

Nicole Malliotakis' district, which flipped hard to the right in 2024, is roughly 20% Asian and 18% Hispanic this is New York City ground zero for Trump's new multi-racial 2024 coalition and it appears his immigration gestapo policies aren't going over great

We are Fox News word salad-ing our way across all sorts of bold red lines

not only that, the final gap was 7000 votes, but far more than 7000 voters who didn't want Eric Adams to be mayor failed to rank Kathryn Garcia on their ballots and that's why Adams won don't make that error again! rank all the anti-Cuomo candidates!

Moronic question bc the military is supposed to have plans for everything! There was a plan cooked up to invade Canada if it came to that in WWII.

pretty simple stuff here but good it's clearly getting traction with Democrats just because the immigration space is bad for Democrats broadly doesn't mean that Trump instituting brand-new, highly visible, crazy, cruel and chaotic immigration policies is something voters like

The easiest answer is just rank the 5 people who have the best chance of beating Cuomo, so some order of Mamdani, Lander, A. Adams, Myrie and Stringer.

@jhweissmann.bsky.social should post this here and also, co-sign. (Also swap out Lander for Adams, or Lander for Stringer, or what-have-you). Total abandonment of a civic responsibility to the place it calls home.

nobody lives forever but you write God Only Knows and you live forever

lol the central valley mafia got to him

Dems getting a bit more comfortable with attacking the cruelty and chaos of the deportations

I'm happy they picked Brad, who would be a good mayor, but this whole process is just a total abdication of responsibility by the Times party center / center-left types have failed to run effective campaigns, and their institutional allies have done nothing to help www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

in particular when an issue a) shows up on everyone's screens all of a sudden b) is highlighted by new affirmation actions by a president which are a change from prior practice c) involves a general vibe of chaos and disorder people's opinions usually change pretty quickly

Me: man, I’m sick of the troops being here The troops: we are also sick of this weird armed vacation we’re taking without funds for food or water

At the bar, everyone is watching the Congressional Baseball Game, we’re all rooting for our favorite congresspeople, we are all having so much fun.

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

this metaphor remains undefeated for explaining how a machine learning model works
