As a candidate for NYC public advocate, Polanco vowed to expand the number of charter schools and work with ICE.

This is who Bari Weiss’ CBS goes to for an expert take on NYC politics.

Who won the NYC mayoral debate? What the candidates, and an expert, are saying Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa were on the attack Thursday night in their first mayoral debate​.

The “expert” cited in this CBS piece is a Republican former NYC public advocate candidate who complained “The far left have a monopoly on the conversation in New York City.”

Surprise, he thinks Cuomo won on substance and Mamdani is all flash.

The Bari Weiss effect.

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money. https://x.com/mattyglesias/status/1975375120123478491 Quote Corey Walker @CoreyWriting · 16h The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

I want to be “canceled” like Bari Weiss was.

i wanna see

where is it ?!?!

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the Bronx and Harlem at our paper shredding events — we cleared out old junk mail, built community, danced, took family portraits and enjoyed frozen treats (it still felt a lot like summer). Thanks to everyone who joined.

I have a cat who is more frightening than this guy.

Step 1: Make an inflammatory, racist claim.

Step 2: When rebutted, throw out misinformation at rapid speed and ask bad faith question.

Step 3: When answered, make unrelated straw man about what liberals supposedly believe and knock it down.

Step 4: Take billionaire money.

“Abundance” Is How Dems Lose To Trump Ezra Klein’s new book is supercharging elites’ campaign to deter Democrats from challenging billionaires and corporate power.

A recent study by the RAND Corporation found that $79 trillion was pilfered from the bottom 90% of income earners.

The problem isn’t that America lacks abundance.

It’s that America’s abundance is being hoarded by a tiny handful of rich people. www.levernews.com/abundance-is...

...and many of those rich people fund the Abundance Movement, which doesn't want anyone to focus on that hoarding

Thank you @uftnyc.bsky.social for having me at today’s forum.

As Mayor, I will protect our schools from Donald Trump’s attacks and work to fix Tier 6 so teachers can retire on their own terms.

As Gov., Andrew Cuomo created Tier 6 and cut public school funding.

People lie. Records don’t.

In your article "Rampant COVID Poses New Challenges in the Fifth Year of the Pandemic" you use the term "endemic phase"

the word "endemic" is not on the WHO's webpage titled:
"Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic"

It became a lot easier to find us. Two people stand in front of a mask and test display at a tented outdoor table.

Thank you awesome con staff person Person at tented table points at a free masks display

After distributing in two places, then getting kicked out of WonderCon, then going mobile haunting the perimeter with enthusiasm and friendliness (and free swag), we asked around enough times and ended up with our own temporary table at the con. A Clean Air Win!

I joined @ayman.msnbc.com last night to discuss Mahmoud Khalil, the attack on our First Amendment rights and why Democrats are desperate for leaders with courage.

I have never seen anything like this unified outrage at the Democratic Party leadership.

Feels like this could be the start of something important.

VOTE 4 ZOHRAN !!!!

INVESTIGATION: Cuomo Gave Immunity to Nursing Home Execs After Big Donations — Now People Are Dying Critics say data proves New York’s liability shield is linked to higher nursing-home death rates during the pandemic

Andrew Cuomo gave nursing home CEOs legal immunity from lawsuits amid the COVID massacre, as he raked in cash from health care industry donors.

Now that thousands of New York City residents are dead, he’s asking voters to reward him with the mayoralty. www.levernews.com/investigatio...

One day someone will get creative and figure out how to educate educators to clean the air in indoor spaces so those working within the walls don’t lose their faculties to think and learn to be creative.

@richalles.bsky.social what's that olde cliché

the sky is always bluer .... ?

Micrograph showing the border between brain tissue (purple) and choroid plexus(cyan), modified epithelial cells responsible for releasing spinal fluid. Erythrocytes in red.

Neurons are cool, but have you ever seen the choroid plexus?
The choroid plexus (in cyan) is a highly vascularized collection of cells inside the brain's ventricles. It produces spinal fluid (CSF) and forms a barrier between the blood🔴, CSF, and brain tissue🟣!
