I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

Underground, Overground

My hunt to find locations where you can see Underground trains traveling over Overground trains (or vice versa) continues.

This vantage point near East Putney station has views of tube trains traveling over the railway. I waited 30 mins to get this shot.
So long, thanks for nothing

Too many? Nah, can't be trusted with that responsibility.
hate to give the Cowboys credit for anything, but that was sick
my wife is just a single loof. Folks from the mountain states aren't quite as cocky as us New Englanders 🤷‍♂️
the right can't get their story together on why they hate Mamdani. Is he a terrifying force of Muslim conservatism, or some weak man whipped by his "aloof" wife?

It is very clear the gutting of Teen Vogue is about silencing their excellent political coverage. Corporations want you uninformed and shut off from meaningful journalism. And they’re staggeringly successful at it so far.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

ICE will ram you off the road for no reason
NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…
I hate this and I can't stop laughing

the thing is, folks i know who only read legacy news coverage of him think he’s the devil, but the moment they watch any interview longer than 30 highly-edited seconds of him just talking openly about his stances, they get confused because he’s just a normal kind guy from the block

It's like all the rich losers who threatened to leave Massachusetts over our millionaires tax. Maybe a few weirdos actually did leave, and good riddance, but we're bringing in more revenue than expected and companies as big as Hasbro and Lego are moving *to* Massachusetts
