Both Abigail Spanberger and Zohran Mamdani are younger than their predecessors and stress the issue of affordability. But Spanberger’s campaign is about competence and pragmatism, not guaranteed heart-stirring. http://nyer.cm/UheaUsD

This is an ugly development too. Landlords evicting non-white tenants bc, it seems, it’s not worth the risk of a Kavanaugh Raid.
Privatization of enforcement, of a sort.
Well, not enforcement. Harassment.
Which are synonyms to Miller and his racist crew.
