Here's my rundown of some of the main reasons why Zohran added over 500k votes to his 1st-place total in the primary. scheerpost.com/2025/11/08/h...

"Access to books decreases recidivism. . . . [Yet] U.S. prisons remain the institutions where the most censorship occurs. This has not changed, even as school and public library book challenges have skyrocketed in numbers since 2021. . . Why? bigotry, racism, and profit motive." Read ⬇️

Q: “Most hospitals + people who will lose insurance are in rural areas. If Trump & Republicans are so intent on sticking it to their own voters, why not let them?” @aoc.bsky.social : “That’s the difference between us & Trump. I don’t care if you voted for me, I want you to have health care.”

Lindsey Boylan is a former aide to Andrew Cuomo who was the first woman to publicly accuse him of sexual harassment. She now supports Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral election and says voters must not forget Cuomo's history of abuse. https://www.democracynow.org/2025/10/15/lindsey_boylan

Here's my take on why Cuomo 2.0 is a flop. scheerpost.com/2025/10/16/d...

Israel killed 3 Palestinians today Israel is still not allowing UNRWA to deliver aid. UNRWA said they have enough food to supply Palestinians for 3 months. Israel hasn’t let them bring any aid into Gaza in 7 months.

Cuomo: "I am tired of what I call the 'Twitter Democrats' who tweet." So 2021. No wonder his campaign has been compared "a breath of hot air." 😜 indypendent.org/2025/05/seve...

I keep seeing people saying "everyone who voted for the Iraq war was disgraced" no they weren't! It worked out great for all of them! Bush got re-elected! The 2016 Democratic Presidential nominee voted for it!!!

“Here’s a fact that should appall New York voters, especially women: You paid for Cuomo’s lawyers to seek the gynecological records of an accuser. Why? It’s a good question that voters should ask the candidate as he makes the rounds.”

My unscientific position: the 1st 15 minutes of a debate are most essential b/c many viewers won't last much longer. Mamdani sizzled. Cuomo fizzled. (2x began: "Yeah, um.") Lander & Adams did well. Myrie & Stringer were fine. 7th candidate merits no mention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElGf...

NYT's panel of 15 political "experts" almost all belong to the professional middle class (& up). Only one has a union affiliation in bio.🤔

Bezos' new WashPo opinions editor: “Our philosophy will be rooted in fundamental optimism about the future of this country. What we won’t be are people who lecture you about ideology or demand you think certain ways about policy.” Sounds like heady stuff. 😜
