Map of NYC showing 2025 Mayoral election results by precinct.

Not being from New York City, before this election I never realized that Staten Island is the Alabama of NYC. Am I safe assuming it is full of older white people?

REMEMBER: The same people who think democratic socialists are communists think Donald Trump is a Christian.

Is her new face getting fatter?

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

I like Smoltz in the booth.

Why am I getting so many pictures of hairy, shirtless gay men in my feed? Can nothing be done to filter these out?

Sliwa outpolls Cuomo vs. Mamdani. If only they would pour more money into Cuomo’s campaign, I’m sure he could pull this out. Really, it’s a great investment. Give him more of your money.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Is it pitchfork time yet?

Overweight bald guys trying to be manly. Pathetic.

They can and do fire people whether the government is shut down or not (it’s part of their Project 2025 plan). This is unlikely to move any Dem votes in Congress. But it will continue to erode support for this administration.

U.S. Golf Legend Apologizes for Ryder Cup Fan Behavior The conduct of American fans at this weekend's Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York was met with widespread criticism and condemnation.

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

No Thrones.
No Crowns.
No Kings.

It was a statement of fact made by a reputable publication because the connections between lawmakers and big tech raise concerns. I cast no aspersions by sharing it. But I think it’s worth knowing and so do a lot of others.

I found the information noteworthy and many others have as well. Ignore it if you think it’s irrelevant.
