An anecdotal post on Reddit suggests that boomers are flocking to Cuomo because his people are spamming Facebook pages with AI-generated content supporting his call to Make NYC Great Again. If he does indeed, win, I fear for the future of our civilization.

The more interesting take - and the harder piece to do right - is not "Wow congestion pricing is so successful so quickly" but rather "why did so many think or want congestion pricing to fail? And why did so many other people listen to them for so long?"

The New York State budget awarded QueensLink $100k in matching funds for its Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program grant! This codifies support for the study of QueensLink at the state level. Another big step towards #RailsandTrails on the Rockaway Beach Branch! 🚉🌳

Again, he does not live here. He does not understand the city. He just wants a political position of power so he can enact his Trumpian revenge. He was actively hostile to NYC when he was governor. Do not rank him.

The Mayor supporting a park that is designed to block affordable housing is the same as his support of a park designed to block transit. The Mayor has a price, and the people who know what it is are willing to pay.

I wish I could say I'm disappointed in the @nytimes.com piece about the RBB, but when I spoke to the author for it, he was quite dismissive of transit. It literally takes one sentence out of his overly verbose soliloquy to say that @queenslink.org includes parks too. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/n...

People think this is funny, but this also opens the door to Trump accidentally nuking a US city.

If you can't make your case directly to voters, why are you even running? His strategy seems to be to just get endorsements from other politicians that voters already have problems with. This feels like Hillary Clinton's campaign for president all over again.

Railing against @aoc.bsky.social — one of the most effective leaders in the Democratic party — and refusing to criticize Trump is exactly what you can expect from Andrew Cuomo, who’s being bankrolled by MAGA and Republican billionaires.

If you're confused why so many Republicans lined up behind Trump against their own interests, maybe consider why so many Democrats are doing the same with Cuomo.

I'm not saying we should let the city run the subways (no, really, no!), but the fact that the MTA and city can't see the benefits of a closer relationship is why we can't have nice things. Also, #nocuomo.

Cuomo's super PAC is called "Fix the City". Was this the runner-up to "Make NY Great Again"?

Cuomo's reputation for "competence" is a totally imaginary media creation, designed to dupe liberals in a blue area into electing a conservative. His governorship was a series of embarrassing fuckups! Over and over! Didn't matter because media understood alternative to Cuomo would be a progressive

When I reported a long 2021 piece about Cuomo, a thing that many people who worked for him for years told me about (besides the corruption, incompetence & cruel domination tactics) was that he & those in his senior circles JUST DIDN'T CARE about policy, or about actually getting anything done.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: social media has not made people smarter, but made dumber people louder and think that their ignorant opinions are valid.
