Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

NYC had proportional representation for a while and it worked great until it was abolished for electing too many socialists
On election day, an election 🧵
@andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.

Want to End the Gerrymandering Wars? Embrace Proportional Representation
Trump has triggered a particularly fierce round, but the logic of war is inherent in a winner-take-all system

As we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for animated classics to desecrate do you think Hollywood would go for a Who Frames Roger Rabbit live action remake where the Toons are just played by Black actors, bringing it back to the situation the original was a metaphor for?

I love seeing Cuomo off in the corner of the ballot with the also-rans
I see some grumbling that this is an unfair ballot design for Cuomo, but I don't see the problem. You have the major and minor party nominations and then a random order for the independent (technically, new party) nominations. It's not a favorable spot for Cuomo but they've got be in some order.

He gave firearms training to an anti-fascist group that recently got national attention after the killing of Charlie Kirk.
Article suggests it could potentially be a violation of a state law that prohibits “unauthorized paramilitary training.”
