Some notable signs from today's #NoICE rally

Pre-rally match #Nokings #NoIce "Pharaoh does not win in the end" - a rabbi at a pre-rally invocation

My year in theatre. The only missing play is "Polishing Shakespeare", which is better off receding into the mists of memory.

Reading Petals of Blood, by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, I came across this great description of procrastination--"I dwelt in the twilight of doing and not-doing."

So the policy establishes a kind of "Fascist International" (Fascintern?) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/w...

Seeing record turnout in an election that also sees Prop. 6 go down would be next level irony. x.com/admcrlsn/sta...

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

Happy Italian Heritage Day for all Italians except Columbus and Mussolini (no, the Borgias were Spanish).

Today, a Trump-picked prosecutor indicted AG Tish James in a politically motivated attack aimed at AG James--who's held Trump accountable. We are having a rapid response rally TOMORROW at 5:30PM in Foley Square. www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

There needs to be a mini-series called Portlandia: War Diaries

I wanted to let a bit of time pass since this particular episode of The Last of Us aired, but how cool is that scene where Catherine O'Hara character is reading Earth Abides (sci-fi fans will get the reference)?

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

Is Charlie Kirk the new Horst Wessel? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

None of this is based on actual crime statistics, btw. It’s based on Trump’s brain calcifying in the late 1980s and his deeply ingrained racism.

Advantage of a CitiBike membership. Coming home from Tribeca I faced delays on 4/5 of the Jackson Heights trains. Only the 7 wasn't delayed and that was nowhere near downtown, but it less than a 1/2 hour to get to the Hudson Yards stop.

More fun wordplay from The Economist An opinion piece on the impact of tariffs had the title "Suddenly, then gradually", an transposition of a line in the Sun Also Rises, where a character describes how he became bankrupt -- "Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”

NYC Council Member Vickie Paladino is spreading lies and inciting hatred against a NYC-DSA member and leader who has defied Paladino’s racist and fear-mongering ideology. Tell Speaker Adams & the Council Ethics Committee: she must be expelled actionnetwork.org/letters/expe...

Clever wordplay at The Economist. An article on Mamdani's proposal for city-owned grocery stores was titled--"Welcome to Trader Zoh's"

“Her Excellency . . . Dear Mr. President”

So not just trust fund kids living off their parents. www.michaellange.nyc/p/the-zohran...

Ooohhh! Maybe Jay Jacobs does some serious soul-searching about how he needs to run the Democratic Party. NAAAHHH!

Andrew Cuomo has the experiences and character to save the nation. He is an exceptional choice for mayor of New York, a city I’ve never stayed in for more than 45 minutes. I’m afraid to cross a street that has more than two lanes. I think the American Airlines chatbot is a real person who likes me

The choice between Cuomo and Mamdani comes down to this--Mamdani can make up for being light on experience by hiring really good commissioners and deputy mayors; Cuomo can't undo being a corrupt, narcissistic, bully. #DontrankCuomo #NotoCuomo

The characterization of the subway is stuck in mid-pandemic mindset and honestly who cares about these bus fare numbers that much? Yeah fare evasion is bad but this isn’t a good reason to hand the mayoralty to an inept sex creep out for revenge. What a useless editorial board.

Millions pour into the streets because they hate his policies, and he decides more violence in furtherance of those policies is the answer. I have moments these days where I wonder how this all ends, because it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets any better.

In Woodside for @nywfp.bsky.social asking people to #RanktheSlate and #DontRankCuomo

#RanktheSlate #DontrankCuomo

Not liking this mayoral race. It looks like it's coming down to an corrupt narcissist and a someone who campaigns extraordinarily well but comes up short on policy and experience. Mamdani is my #5 and Cuomo isn't ranked, but I would have liked a different outcome.

Thursday night, Jessica Ramos held a Queens fundraiser where she delivered a speech lined with anti-Cuomo jabs, per sources. Some Ramos staffers only found out she had flip-flopped to endorse Cuomo from the NYT story the next morning, per the sources. www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/06/j...

My ranking as of now (post-debate and AOC) Jessica Ramos Zellnor Myrie Brad Lander Adrienne Adams Zohran Mamdani I align ideologically with the top 3 but have Adams and Mamdani in there as highly viable non-Cuomo vandidates.

What we learned from Cuomo’s NYT interview: -he owns 4 cars -he takes public transit once “every other week” -he pays $8K in rent -he hasn’t lived in NYC since he was 32 -his “bagel order” is a “bacon cheese and egg on an English muffin” (yes he said bacon cheese and egg in that order)

Which one of these would you rather have parked in front of your home, Bay Ridge?

Citi Bike is coming to Bay Ridge, but we need YOU to take 3 actions so that neighborhood NIMBYs don’t delay or water down the planned expansion…

#CriticalMass ride Cycling is not a crime

Compliance with Local Law 97 is a big issue for the many co-ops in our community. Unlike Cuomo, who can’t even remember the name of the law, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has a thorough plan to help homeowners comply and relieve the financial burden of it. Don’t rank Cuomo.

The next journalist to write that Trump's complaints about colleges is about anti-Semitism without mentioning any of this should be jailed for life.

Happening now outside immigration court on Varick street, activists attempting to block what is said to be van transporting people detained earlier today inside court, NYPD strategic response group on site.

That's right!

When people ask you “what’s so bad about Cuomo?” send them this and make sure they don’t rank him anywhere on their ballot. #HellNoCuomo #RankTheSlate
