The problem with this headline is that Ros doesn't actually tie the cancelation to quality. She just admits what fans said. Amazon greenlit S2 during S1, having seen S1, so it's clearly not a quality problem. This ignores that Amazon's calculus re: success might have changed over 4 years. #WoTSkies

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

unsurprisingly, they are all still trying to make him seem illegitimate (and not bc he's young and inexperienced): he's a dual citizen from an African country, he eats with his hands, he calls relatives "auntie", he code switches, he's pro-Hamas and anti-Jew, and on and on.

Reminder that his father Mario might have been ashamed of this type of gutter racism. Whatever else he may have done, he eschewed reactionary rhetoric when running against Procaccino, who stoked fear of other immigrant groups + poor people. A great piece on this: www.michaellange.nyc/cp/177024392
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
