OP-ED: Will NYC stand up to Trump’s education agenda or fall in line?
Many New Yorkers may now question whether the City will continue to stand as a stronghold against the Trump administration’s harmful policies.

I’ve been a Dodgers fan since I came out the womb. I was overjoyed to see our wind last night. They should do the right thing and tell Trump to fuck all the way off. No visits for Nazi’s. c.org/RDbPyb8nmw

I'd respect Schumer more if he simply said, "Look, if I vote for & support Mamdani, then we lose immense funding from billionaire donors. I can't take that risk."
That way, while still abject cowardice, at least his view is honest. As low as the bar is, I prefer an honest coward to a deceptive one.

Currently on pins and needles because this game is so close and my Dodgers are making me nervous.

Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

For a quarter century, they have organized for the full and equitable funding of our public schools, going to toe-to-toe against former Gov. Cuomo's austerity agenda. Proud to be in this fight alongside them.

We can define gentrifiers as the people literally moving into the neighborhood, or we can attend to root causes and define gentrifiers as the market-makers driving up housing prices by fighting organizers' attempts to make housing a human right. One way scapegoats; the other names our real enemies.
Adams called Mamdani's base of support "gentrifiers" and said a heckler who supported Mamdani had the "energy of a gentrifier."
"This is the nasty attitude of many of Zohran’s supporters,” Adams said. “What she needs to do is shut up and let us finish.”

It’s actually incredibly racist for a white man to suggest a naturalized immigrant renounce their citizenship to another country because of the actions of a politician in that country. It reinforces a perpetual foreigner concept and the Islamophobia of Cuomo’s entire racist campaign. #NYCDebate

There is a full-on push in NYC right now to use "Mamdani doesn't make Jews 'feel safe'" as a cudgel to get Cuomo into office, and it is utterly disgusting. You know what makes me feel unsafe? People who casually characterize us as a trembling single-issue monolith scared of the big bad Muslim.
