this is a fantastic and honest piece that lays out a path for Zohran that, hypothetically, avoids the failures of de Blasio
So much has already been said about how a Mayor Zohran should orient himself towards the NYPD and yet here I am in @thedriftmag.com saying more

Best journalistic piece I've read so far on how Zohran should aim to govern the NYPD. The thesis is simple:
Don't attempt to appease opposing parties and end up pleasing neither; define a position and stick to it.
The piece's careful recounting of de Blasio's record backs this thesis up.

This was an awesome experience because people did not band together in an inspiring display of solidarity they mostly made jokes and acted annoying
I can't count how many times I've been in a train that stalled out between stations—but I can say with confidence that Sunday night was the first time I've ever had to hop on a "rescue train" with 230 other cranky straphangers.
My 4 Train Broke in Half
One of my fellow passengers was right: "You can't make this shit up."

I asked India Walton what Zohran Mamdani should be thinking about right now, as an upstart DSA-backed mayoral candidate who just won a primary election against the assembled forces of the ultrawealthy and his own party's establishment.
She had some advice:

Why is Mayor Eric Adams launching a City investigation into the Park Slope Food Coop? Why is the co-op's general manager using his last days in charge to rally against Zoom meetings and an Israeli goods boycott? And what do the co-op's members think of all the conflict?
