Read article re: a concerning increase in cancer prevalence. Then I read about how “cool” smoking is. Meanwhile, CDC Ofc on Smoking & Health is gone; . Tobacco control funding to states is gone. Don’t believe Big Tobacco’s “concern” re: tobacco in media. This is their game plan.

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."

Who DOESN’T have at least one “aunt” or “uncle” in their life? If you don’t, what’s wrong with your family that you don’t have close friends?
i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days
