Cuomo’s “both sides” take is trash.

Letitia James built a fraud case upheld by judges.

Trump publicly demanded her indictment, fired the prosecutor who refused, and installed a loyalist to deliver it.

One is law enforcement. The other is revenge!

When someone begins with “both sides”; you know they’re full of shit!

Maybe football games are dangerous and we shouldn't have them anymore. Too much violence promotes too many shootings.
Make it so football fans are not allowed to own guns anymore because of their tendency towards violence.

There is one that does tours about 2 hrs west of there. But that's the closest one I can find that seems like it does any kind of public engagement.

Hey #GreenSky,

Are there cool clean tech/energy places in the greater Albany, NY region that do group visits? We've done NYISO and the Mechanicsville Hydro site, but looking for additional options.

I give little drips of $ to Wikipedia whenever I can. And I use them as a source everyday.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

I subscribe to the Daily News online and follow them on Blue Sky. They never get more than, maybe, six likes on any post. I'd like them to gain ground with tabloid readers. It's not my style of journalism but I'd like them to gain on the Post.

I thought the same thing and I don't know why the Daily News is floundering while the Post isn't--except that Murdoch is willing to put unlimited cash into it. The Post has a higher circulation. In my neighborhood most people read The Post followed by Long Island Newsday.

Johnson is shortening her term.

A neighbor in Queens has a child receiving special Ed services. He still has maga signage up. In NY services come through the state so maybe his child will be OK but the stupidity of his support for #drumpf is confounding.
