this is a fantastic and honest piece that lays out a path for Zohran that, hypothetically, avoids the failures of de Blasio

Best journalistic piece I've read so far on how Zohran should aim to govern the NYPD. The thesis is simple:

Don't attempt to appease opposing parties and end up pleasing neither; define a position and stick to it.

The piece's careful recounting of de Blasio's record backs this thesis up.

He Staked Everything on His Legal Weed Storeβ€”Then New York State Pulled the Plug When New York legalized recreational cannabis sales in 2021, Aaron Alexis thought he did everything rightβ€”but a sudden change in state policy has placed his business plan in limbo.

Two and a half years and $180,000 later, Aaron Alexis thought he did everything right on his way to opening his own licensed weed dispensaryβ€”but an abrupt announcement from the Office of Cannabis Management has left him "hopeless" and stranded in limbo.

Trump Targets Mamdani While Opening a Literal Concentration Camp Plus, more news for your Wednesday.

As Trump continues to flood the city with masked ICE agents and inks a bill that's likely going to have devastating consequences for New York, "liberals" are joining rhetorical forces with the president by focusing their ire on Zohran Mamdani.

India Walton's Advice for Zohran Mamdani "I think that for him, the race 'til November needs to be staying on messageβ€”we can't start to water it down because we think it's going to attract a more moderate Democrat."

I asked India Walton what Zohran Mamdani should be thinking about right now, as an upstart DSA-backed mayoral candidate who just won a primary election against the assembled forces of the ultrawealthy and his own party's establishment.

She had some advice:
