“Andrew Cuomo reeks of yesterday” — Christina Greer really nailed it on this week’s #FAQNYC pod. Put it on a t-shirt, #DREAM folks!

Washington DC has 702,000 people, is 45% Black and has 0 senators

Wyoming has 590,000 people, is 86% white and has 2 senators

DC needs a state with proper representation, not a military takeover

Is it too much to expect the Supreme Court to rely on basic factchecking? (Answer: Yes. Yes it is)

The SC ruled that the only people who can legally refuse service are wedding cake bakers & website designers when the potential client is gay (if equality is against their religious beliefs, aargh), so the farmer’s market should claim it goes against their religion to sell to the pedo-adjacent 🤷🏻‍♀️

May you be healthy.
May you be free from inner and outer harm.
May you care for yourself joyfully.

Thank you for sharing your story. You saved yourself & that is a lesson for us all.

I literally just finished this book (& promptly returned it to the public library so someone else can read it!). I’m crushed by what will not happen now cuz this country elected & empowered people who believe gov’t is only useful as security. We get the police state we deserve, I guess.

YouTube video by Chuck Mangione Chuck Mangione - Children Of Sanchez (The Old Grey Whistle Test, January 16th, 1979)

We listened to “Feels So Good” all the time when I was growing up, but my Dad LOVED “Children of Sanchez” & would stop whatever he was doing and just listen to the entire song whenever he heard it. youtu.be/VCMoNutayDs?...

It does contain an #OnlyInJournalism word in tbd sub-head, though (“batters” is shockingly more polite than what happened, haha)

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It’s craziness!

If you take one thing away from today, let it be that we outnumber them.

2 more weeks of #NYCPrimary ads on YouTube- I’m not sure I can make it. I am gonna start throwing something the next time I see that idiot “Rise” ad from our sexual harassing former Governor or the “Zohran is a socialist” one (uh, I don’t think that word means what you think it does, buddy).

No gaming it out!! Just vote for the folks you would OK with if they won, in your order of preference, that’s it (well, also convince others to come out & vote, so we actually get a good turnout 😎)

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.

“Collins hasn’t hosted a town hall in at least 25 years.” WTH?? Stand up in a large room of your constituents, listen to what they tell you & defend your own positions—that’s also part of the job!

I was hoping the lesson of the last RCV election would lead candidates to do cross endorsements (the lack of them basically made it possible for Erica Adams to win). Ballots have already started to go out, so folks are voting now—if they are going to cross endorse, they need to do it soon!

This debate was not useful—too many moderators, too many candidates & waaaay too many topics.

My god, Z pays $1300/month in rent & Scott Stringer pays $6400 (WTH??).

Zohran at least promised to cross endorse somebody (everyone else dodged it or was cagey), sigh.

Enough with 30 second answers!

Whoa, Whitney Tilson rode his bike to the debate- good on him (still not interested in his policies, though, haha).

Ha!

Cut Cuomo’s mic, for the love of god.

Yay, @zellnor.bsky.social admitting to taking the subway to the debate! Is he the only candidate who doesn’t own a car/drive? #NYCMayoralDebate

And, I can’t believe I forgot Kash Patel in the high chair!
