Zohran Mamdani says on NY1 he didn't get a congratulatory call from either Andrew Cuomo or Eric Adams last night.

He says he got a congratulatory call from Curtis Sliwa, though.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

It’s my first day as a democratic consultant and I just walked over to a dry erase board in the office and wrote “poor people do not want you to tax the rich because it’ll make them feel bad”

Literally grew up calling my dad’s cousin (who is only five years older than me) ‘auntie’.
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

Unbelievably low turnout for a compulsory voting electorate. argentina is stuck between milei and peronists and decided to.. mostly vote neither lol
Argentina’s President Javier Milei is celebrating a major win after his party dominated the legislative elections, expanding control in Congress. He has vowed to push ahead with reforms and strengthen ties with the US and Israel. Milei said: “If you could see how beautiful

Hypocrisy on hormone blockers aside, this disastrous policy will be self correcting. Lots of kids will get sick with the measles, but maybe we as a society need the reminder.

Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates

"Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

It's extremely obvious that the de facto policy of the Trump regime is that trans people ARE NOT PEOPLE but the media won't report on this until most of us are gone.

The nihilism is breathtaking tbh
Wow.

Town hall audience on Republicans’ Medicaid and SNAP cuts: “People are going to die.”

Republican senator smirks: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.

Word that the great Drew Struzan, who painted more iconic movie posters in the 1980s & 90s than you can imagine, has entered the final stages of Alzheimers. His wife asked that everyone thinks of him and his work and I'm certainly glad to do so. What a talent.

I think everyone is asleep, so I need to get this out.

"First player to have these numbers in a game" culture has ruined the purpose of historically contextualizing player performances.

First/only player to have exactly 43 pts, 8 threes, 2 stl, 1 blk on 50% from three or better means nothing!
