$55 million. Just think of everything that money could have done. Campaign finances absolutely blow my mind
In the weeks before Andrew Cuomo’s mayoral dream went up in smoke on election night, a handful of independent spending groups spent more than $55 million supporting the ex-governor or attacking his ultimately victorious rival, Zohran Mamdani.
Cuomo Backers Burned $65 Per Vote, Including $13.3 Million From Bloomberg
A blizzard of outside spending on ads, including a spot that linked Zohran Mamdani to 9/11, failed to move voters and may have even backfired.

totally agree! I had an 18-month postdoc role with UVA in 2012-2013 and it was beautifully structured—including letting me work remotely so I didn't have to uproot my life for a short-term role
(Side note: if you have funding for a one year position, consider a virtual fellowship - something unheard of in 2019. I can imagine a great position that allowed fellows to stay at home while implementing online professional development and community building plus carefully planned site visits.)

He's about to pass Lindsay '69, and he might pass Lindsay '65. But Fiorello Laguardia got 1.3 million votes in NINETEEN FUCKING THIRTY-SEVEN.

Fucking batshit. I love this city.

Schumer is plainly just a massive bigot. he will not support a Muslim for elected office
Q: It's election day in NYC. Did you vote for Mamdani or Cuomo?

Schumer: "Look, I voted, and I look forward to working with the next mayor to help NYC."

This special issue focuses on testimonio as a genre that is inextricably connected to gender, class, and ethnicity and is used by women from the Américas to claim their agency while challenging multiple forms of oppression.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Being on the Community Education Council means I get a chance to visit and talk to school communities across the district. Bonus: I get to vary my routine. This morning was a gorgeous walk through Sunset Park (not pictured: Chinese grandmas doing a morning dance class)
