Really great content this week at @boltsmag.org! I expect you may have missed some, so here we go: 1️⃣ Buffalo jails is notoriously deadly for people who are locked in. And little has changed under the new GOP sheriff, despite a lot of talk, @rainalips.bsky.social And yet, he's running unopposed:

What does Dem nominee for NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani’s trip to see family have to do with the mass murder that took place in midtown Manhattan a week ago? Absolutely nothing

More than a year ago, New York Times management told its reporters covering Gaza to restrict the use of the terms "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing." Sounding the alarm on genocide earlier could have had an impact. fair.org/home/nyt-sup...
