I'm seeing a tortured justification that the endorsement is really a devious effort to tank Cuomo because Trump sees him as a threat and actually wants Mamdani to win.

Absolutely infuriating. And NOT a business decision.

Black text on orange background -- with b/w photo of Steve Biko (headshot) “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”

Lex McMenamin, one of many valuable Teen Vogue reporters laid off today, said, "Majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. There are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue." 💔

As @sifill.bsky.social noted, this is NOT a business decision. Goal is to suppress knowledge, analysis. 🧵

They will spend every moment working to trip him up, lying about him, blaming him for their own actions and undermine him in every way they can think of.

We need to use our power to follow the journalists and dump the media companies.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

Sh*t.

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.

It's resegregation in real time.

You can vote with your dollars and your eyeballs. More and more people are canceling subscriptions, not watching the big networks and going to independent media instead.

It's just them trolling again. Or cognitive dissonance because they liked the franchise but they are MAGA now - so the shows must be theirs. Pathetic.

There's no question that the @nytimes.com has ACTUALLY openly campaigned against Mamdani. Everyone in the city saw it. Why would they be trusted to report honestly on anything if he wins? The answer is they would not.

Sounds unconstitutional to me. And inhumane. And hateful. And unconscionable. And worthy of scorn.

His term is up in 2028. Someone good better run against this guy. I can't keep voting for him at this point.

Robert Reich A Conversation with Zohran Mamdani

Zohran Mamdani is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics. My own granddaughter is knocking on doors for him in the final stretch of the NYC mayoral race. I was pleased to speak with him ahead of Tuesday's election. https://youtu.be/rqU0DAjg0RA?si=ZYVwyxSyA9xdR4bj

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Being an undocumented immigrant in the USA is NOT a felony crime. It is a misdemeanor offense.

I want y’all to think about that while we are routinely seeing ICE agents traumatize and terrorize these people who have not committed any sort of jail-able offense.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

That's because the Trump regime has labeled people yelling at them for abducting their neighbors as terrorists.

Figure skating videos!

JUSTICE FOR TREMANE

Oklahoma is set to execute Tremane Wood.

He was sentenced to death under Oklahoma's felony murder rule, a law that allows anyone involved in a felony that leads to a death to be criminally responsible for the death.

The confessed killer, Tremane's brother, was sentenced to life imprisonment.

This Dia de Los Muertos we celebrate and honor those who have died fighting for our rights. Join us in celebrating them by putting them on your ofrenda and remembering their efforts. #DiaDeLosMuertos

Chuck Schumer Walks Out Rather Than Say if He’s Voting for Zohran The Senate minority leader says he’s still talking with Zohran Mamdani, despite the election being just days away.

How can this man be a leader of the Democratic Party moving forward?

Alt text: A post on X (formerly Twitter) by Leor Sapir with a City Journal article preview. The tweet says: “NEW: The Trump administration and Texas are investigating providers who use ‘endocrine disorder’ diagnostic codes to bill for ‘gender-affirming’ procedures. Insurance fraud is serious and brings significant penalties. But there are nuances here.” It includes a City Journal link and embedded post titled “Insurance Fraud Is Widespread in Transgender Medicine,” with a subheadline reading “Evidence of billing fraud is fueling a nationwide probe by the Trump administration.” The preview image shows a close-up of a doctor writing on a clipboard.

There's a concerted push to weaponize medical billing against trans people and their healthcare.

Using alternate billing codes for coverage is ubiquitous across the medical system for all kinds of care. This is not unique to trans healthcare but it's being portrayed as such to target access to it.

Just a reminder that the Trump admin is not against illegal immigration. It is against all immigration.

Scrutiny on Trump's demolition of the East Wing and construction of the ballroom comes as the White House clears the way to move quickly on the president's plans. Icymi — our scoop on the White House firing arts commissioners last night who had been expecting to review Trump's projects.

This is the type of thing the first trump admin excelled (pejorative) at and now they are arguably torqued up and better at it

Little tweaks to the system that have massive effects, and also just widespread foot dragging laced with barely plausible deniability. During term 1, there were lots of…
