The contrast on the debate stage Wednesday night — and in this election — could not be clearer.

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

how Ramos's day is going:

Big lesson here that the only people who believe in "lesser evil" type compromises are dimwitted left leaning liberals.

Dawg they've got my Mayor in the cuck chair and he thinks this is in our best interests why are all Democrats so spineless richmondbizsense.com/2025/06/06/m...

Its crazy how relatable NYC politics is to Richmond Virginia. Wonder why that is?

Drip coffee in NYC has three forms (brown water, refined-balanced, and mega-go-fast juice) and it's not clear what you're going to get. Anyways, apparently this hotel's drip urns are the latter type.

THERE ARE TOO MANY POSTS TO LIKE AND SHARE

This is the precise way to frame this to drive cold war liberals completely insane bc it's precisely what they believe (except for Israel)

Elon is crashing out in a way that is erasing hundreds of billions of dollars worth of value from his company.

"Cox said he had since pleaded with city officials to lay down a crosswalk at that intersection. Those efforts went nowhere, so he said he took a line marker as well as a can of spray chalk to fashion a makeshift crosswalk on 17 May – a Saturday – as a crowd of onlookers cheered him."

Almost every modern political problem in the US can be tied to this graph. The reason people hate the Abundance framing is because it posits that if the red line was even lower, somehow it would resolve the issue with the light blue line flat lining.

complete zohran mamdani victory incoming?

Not sure anybody watches them but Zohran cooked in that debate. I now have that horrible feeling, not unlike a migraine aura, that you only get after you watch a political event and feel a tinge of hope and representation.

[gesturing generously] you could all live in the future if you gave sam bankman fried another chance. just one more try. I’m not a libertarian lobbyist. You could live like the jetsons. the democrats should become racist and hate trans people. I’m a normal centrist who wants to meet YOU halfway

Seems like Richmond School Board cut $60k from the libraries books budget, added 5 new libraries and let Kamras pocket the difference into his raise. Richmond is just as corrupt as ever under Danny Avula.

My wife made one of these!! If you're in NYC this weekend check these 5 out.

So far Richmond's Mayor Avula has had a zero-tolerance policy with unethical/illegal behavior by his black dept heads, who wants to bet it wont be the same for his white dept heads like Kamras? www.12onyourside.com/2025/06/04/n...

This is very bad Once they start screwing with the data, that’s the whole ballgame

Not a predictions guy but I can imagine near term (maybe even next election cycle) all the AIPAC and Israeli whataboutism backfiring in a big way.

A GOP Council Member called to deport Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani. Zohran is a US citizen and duly elected official. Threatening political opponents with deportation is straight out of a fascist playbook. It’s how hateful cowards respond to a multi-racial, working class movement. Disgusting.

Damage is the angriest magazine I've ever read. A whole issue tut-tutting at the reader for not being a Big Kid Leftist.

I get why Dem strategists warn ppl against Bluesky accounts. Schumer has a humiliating ratio going for being the most senior Democrat in Washington.

Once again the left gets no credit for being correct too soon. Richmond heads know what the deal is. thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/thehill....

This is not going to make me popular among my DSA comrades but I'd support a 50% across the board pay raise for police if they signed new contracts that repealed qualified immunity, banned face/badge coverings under penalty of immediate dismissal, and accepted a new use of force continuum.

Take the thesis with a grain of salt but The Counter Revolution of 1776 is extremely insightful on the topic of Southern depravity
