Virginia has elected Ghazala Hashmi as the state’s next lieutenant governor, making her the first Muslim woman ever elected to statewide office in the United States. 19thnews.org/2025/11/virg...

NYC election coverage on German radio is a reminder that there’s a well-established German word for nearly every point of Mamdani’s socio-econ agenda, coming from the extremely centrist and non-radical social-democrat vocabulary. The US is too brain-washed by the Cold War and racism to even see

Tuesday's Headlines: Cuomo to the End Edition - Streetsblog New York City The Dodge Charger was nowhere to be found on Monday — replaced by a scofflaw Ford Bronco and OJ jokes. Plus other news.

Staying true to himself until the bitter end of this campaign, Andrew Cuomo drove his '90s Bronco all over New York City, and parked it in bike and bus lanes. buff.ly/yVwStEe

Flaw located: I think the future mayor of NYC has never had a great bialy.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

The National Black Empowerment Action Fund has been spending $2 million in the #NYC election, claiming Mamdani is bad for Black America. It turns out that their executive director is in bed with AIPAC, supports #Israel right or wrong, and made a special trip to Israel to meet with its president.

they are getting fucking desperate man I got some garbage ass anti-DSA spam from some outfit calling itself “national black empowerment fund” and I look them up and I see some clown who worked for Bloomberg’s presidential campaign (lol) and some other clown funded by AIPAC (LMAO)

I understand it’s supposed to be for not *overcharging* people with aid, but I don’t see how offering a discount is different from military/student/senior/whatever discount stores routinely run. Except stores apply to accept SNAP so there’s attempted exercise of random ugly power over them.

Bloomberg put $1.3M into city council races alone, in this “Balanced Albany” PAC www.nyccfb.info/VSApps/Indep...

There’s one internet where I’m seeing earned socials of ZM visiting senior centers, dance clubs, shift worker restaurants and another for voters who aren’t me, where Bo Dietl is doing a jump scare paid for by Scaramucci! SO WEIRD

Like, what is creepy Anthony Scaramucci doing, throwing $10K into an anti Mamdani PAC?

Or check out the real estate interests going in for the housing ballot measures or against city council people.

The website of the NYC Campaign Finance Board is so excellent (by law) that you can look up the PAC that paid for the crazy flyer you got, see who/how much has given $, who they work for, AND see the actual videos and flyers they’ve put out (under Communications tab)

Anthony Blinken was explicitly calling the actions of the RSF and SAF in Sudan a genocide all the way back in January.

Which people who’d actually been paying attention to the situation in Sudan before now (when it’s handy to use it Sudan as a rhetorical gotcha against Gaza protesters) would know.

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Over 10,000 killed within three days.

Pools of blood around a hospital so large they could be seen from space.

An absolute nightmare.

In late 80s I was social worker in Houston working in Verification unit for food stamps. Made unannounced home visits to verify applicants were qualified &had reported all income etc. Unit was dismantled because cost more to run than were recovering. Very little fraud.So many myths/lies about SNAP

Anyone who thinks having a Trump choice as mayor would protect us has not been paying attention.

I guess I have to watch Cooper’s interview now, but I don’t mind asking about experience. Mamdani’s answer - essentially that governance is a team that he’ll assemble rather than cronies - was solid.

It's scary how cute Park Slope was tonight.

Happy Halloween, NYC.
