Email from Columbia President Armstrong makes clear that admin still has no idea what it’s dealing with. No amount of “serious action to combat antisemitism” (read: punish Palestine activists) will satisfy the Nazis. They see universities as an enemy institution to crush underfoot.

I desperately hope NYC voters understand ranked choice voting this time around, because the current mayor hates New York City, he's hiring a deputy who hates New York City, and Andrew Cuomo hates New York City. And like Adams, Cuomo doesn't even live here.

i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

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

Andrew Cuomo is going to try to run as a resistance mayor. In reality: -he engineered GOP control of Albany for years -he appointed the judge who overturned Dem-friendly redistricting and delivered the US House to Trump -multiple women have accused him of sexual harassment

This narrative is getting real old. We successfully got Trump out of office. It was Dem leadership’s job to hold him accountable for his crimes so that he could not rebuild for 2024

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies. The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

When we unionized a few years ago, a lot of peanut gallery types on social media wanted to tell me it would be the end of Wired. Hope it’s now clear (thanks mostly to our insanely talented and hardworking politics team) that it does not work that way. Unions are good.

As the City stands to lose millions & millions in federal funding for incredibly vital services, I think it's important to note that the mayor is: a) sick, but not too sick to meet with political allies at Gracie Mansion b) probably about to be doubly-indicted c) refusing to criticize the president
